Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering.

    Borderline Bar & Grill Shooting, Thousand Oaks, California November 8, 2018 November 8, 2018 (Los Angeles Times) http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-thousand-oaks-20181107-story.html A gunman's rampage claimed the lives of 11 victims and a sheriff's sergeant late Wednesday in Thousand Oaks in a mass shooting that also left the gunman dead. Authorities got a report at about 11:20 p.m. that a man had opened fire at the Borderline Bar & Grill, a country-western dance bar at 99 Rolling Oaks Drive. Officers at the scene said the gunman might have used smoke bombs in the incident, but authorities later said they could not confirm that. Officers indicated that approximately 30 shots had been fired and that victims were fleeing from the bar into the surrounding neighborhood. Among the first officers at the scene were sheriff's Sgt. Ron Helus and a California Highway Patrol officer, according to Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean. Dean said Helus was stuck multiple times by bullets. Helus died later at Los Robles Regional Medical Center, a choked-up Dean said at a news conference early Thursday. Dozens more officers were called to the scene, and the gunman was dead when they arrived. Dean said he didn't know how the gunman died. Officers began escorting large groups of people to safety as they left the area. Officers were also entering the bar and finding people who had hidden in out-of-the-way areas. People took shelter in restrooms and even crawl spaces in the attic, among other places, according to officers at the scene.

BANKS AND GUNS: SOCIAL ACTIVISM FOLLOWING THE PARKLAND, FLORIDA SHOOTING I. INTRODUCTION In the wake of the significant number of recent mass shootings in our country, social activism on the part of corporate America is on the rise in an attempt to bring about change in the legislature regarding gun control.1 Following a deadly school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in February 2018, several fi- nancial institutions, including a handful of banks—Bank of America, Citigroup, and JP Morgan Chase—unveiled new policies affecting their relationships and activities with gun manufacturers and retailers.2 This Note examines the policies put in place by these financial institutions and the response by the gun industry. Additionally, it surveys the arguments from both sides and whether or not courts would be likely to find that the policies violate the right to bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

Telemachus Orfanos and Brendan Kelly lift their beers in a toast. A tattoo memorializing the Las Vegas mass shooting — which both men survived — is visible underneath Kelly’s shirt. In front of them, Justin Meek and Garrett Gratland prop up a friend who is Tcrouched off-balance, a finger pressed mischievously to his pursed lips. An American flag is displayed behind the 11 friends, who lean close together. The photo was taken around 11 p.m. Nov. 7, minutes before a stranger walked into Borderline Bar and Grill, spraying bullets as people ducked for cover and fled in terror. By the end of the night, 12 people had been killed, making the mass shooting one of the deadliest in American history. T wo of t he f r iend s i n the photo did not make it out alive.

  • Rick Laubscher: Forty Years of Giving Back to San Francisco, from KRON to Market Street Railway
    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Rick Laubscher Rick Laubscher: Forty Years of Giving Back to San Francisco, From KRON to Market Street Railway Interviews conducted by Todd Holmes in 2016 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Rick Laubscher dated March 30, 2017 The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

  • Weaving It In: How Partisan Media React to Events
    Weaving it in: How partisan media react to events Anonymized version September 1, 2021 Abstract What strategies do partisan media use to fit real-world events into ideological narratives? I look at whether they connect events to related political issues (e.g. hurricanes and climate change), and whether each side is able to fit events into its existing set of issue positions. I focus on talk radio|a medium with a larger reach than Twitter. I analyze almost 2 million hours of radio from hundreds of talk shows, and find that partisan content makers do not ignore ideologically inconvenient events or their political implications, in the way they have been found to ignore scandals and other political \bad news". Instead, after an event, both ideological sides give far more attention to related political issues. At the same time, liberal and conservative shows feature starkly different mixes of positions on those issues, and events do little to change those mixes. In other words, partisan media re-interpret events to fit their existing stance on the topic, weaving them in. keywords: partisan media, agenda-setting, ideology, issues, talk radio These things have become very politicized as you know, folks. Hurricanes and hurricane forecasting is much like much else that the left has gotten its hands on [...]. The forecast and the destruc- tion potential doom and gloom is all to heighten the belief in climate change. |Rush Limbaugh, September 11, 2018 A significant share of Americans get their political information and opinions from non-mainstream media, such as opinion blogs, podcasts and talk radio shows (Schaffner et al., 2019; Pew Research Center, 2019).
