As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

"content": "\u003cp>During testimony Monday in the Ghost Ship trial, defense witness Sharon Evans recounted that on the night of the Dec. 2, 2016 warehouse fire that killed 36, she was waiting in line at a taco truck when she overheard a group of men reveling in their role in the nearby blaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I heard them repeat that no one was gonna make it out of the building alive,” she said, describing the men as “ecstatic” and “happy about the way it was burning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The witness, key to the defense’s claim that the fire resulted from arson, said she and a friend had left church in East Oakland and were driving on International Boulevard when they saw the warehouse billowing smoke, and then circled the block at least 20 times before stopping for tacos in the parking lot of Goodwill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was waiting in line, Evans said, a group of 14 to 19 men approached from the direction of the warehouse. She called the men “Spaniards,” later clarifying she meant Mexican-American, and said she thought they were “possibly some type of gang.” Evans said she waited weeks before approaching authorities because she feared for her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"ghost-ship\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a tetchy day in court as prosecutors strenuously objected to Evans’ testimony on the grounds of hearsay, and for most of the morning successfully prevented her from telling jurors what she overheard. But when Alameda County prosecutor Casey Bates played a recording of Evans giving investigators an earlier statement (in an effort to highlight inconsistencies in her accounts), it opened the door for defense attorney Tony Serra to ask about what else she said in the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During cross-examination, prosecutors drew attention to Evans' differing explanations of why she was in the area that night and questioned why she didn’t go to one of several taco trucks closer to her church. The prosecution also asked what time she noticed smoke, and Evans said 9:30 p.m. or 9:45 p.m., well before the fire is known to have started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In comments to reporters outside the courthouse, Serra said Evans \"embodies our defense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evans was one of the first witnesses called by counsel for Max Harris, who along with Derick Almena faces 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors say Almena and Harris built and operated the unpermitted Fruitvale district residence and event venue with willful disregard for safety, making them criminally responsible for the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense argues the fire resulted not from their clients' actions or negligence, but from an act of arson, and have attempted to shift blame to the government officials who visited the warehouse without flagging unsafe conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also called Michael Russell, who paid $400 a month to live in an Airstream trailer inside the warehouse. Russell said the trailer did not contain gasoline or propane. The night of the fire he said was in the trailer when he overheard a \"scuffle\" downstairs and saw two to three men fleeing the building as it filled with smoke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At first I thought it was a standard fight,\" he recalled. \"Then I heard someone yell, 'Fire!'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Russell rushed towards the front door, he said, he passed a woman in a red beanie and green dress at the foot of the staircase shouting, \"Don't come down the stairs, there's a fire, this is the will of the spirit of the forest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russell also testified that he felt safe in the warehouse, calling descriptions of the shoddily constructed staircase overstated, but said that the rear staircase would be difficult to find for people who didn't already know it was there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if the tenants made decisions collectively, Russell said Almena was \"definitely in charge in many ways,\" describing him as being at the top of the warehouse hierarchy, with Harris acting as second-in-command.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Russell said he is a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit against Pacific Gas & Electric and the City of Oakland, among other entities, but that it does not name Almena or Harris as defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also recalled witness James Bowron, the Oakland Fire Department battalion chief who previously testified about his command the night of the fire and challenged his claim that he wouldn't have done anything differently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bowron stood by his decision not to tell his subordinates that he'd learned people were still in the warehouse, saying that by the time he arrived, there was \"extremely low survivability\" due to the fuel load and smoke inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serra, in an aggressive line of questioning that elicited rapid objections, called Bowron's decision a \"disgrace\" and again claimed that the firefighter's testimony is designed to shield the City of Oakland from civil liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Hough, whose son Travis died in the fire, told reporters outside the courthouse that, in his view, the arson defense didn't matter. \"My son and 35 other people died because of the negligence of having a firetrap,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense will continue calling witnesses on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: This story contains terms that many will find offensive.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube has announced it will be taking steps to remove supremacist content and will re-examine its anti-harassment policy — following days of backlash surrounding its decision not to ban a right-wing YouTuber for targeting a gay journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial announcement came after Vox host Carlos Maza tweeted a viral thread on May 30 highlighting the racist and homophobic abuse he's faced. Over the past few days, the company has released two \u003ca href=\"https://youtube.googleblog.com/2019/06/taking-harder-look-at-harassment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog posts\u003c/a> saying it would review its existing policies, as well as take steps to ban content that tries to \u003ca href=\"https://youtube.googleblog.com/2019/06/our-ongoing-work-to-tackle-hate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">justify discrimination\u003c/a> based on traits like sexual orientation, race and gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The back-and-forth tapped into a broader discussion around social media companies and what their obligation is to prevent harassment and hate speech on their platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy also comes at the start of LGBTQ Pride Month. So while YouTube's support team announced that the homophobic language by right-wing YouTuber Steven Crowder — who has more than 3.8 million subscribers — against Maza didn't violate its terms of service, the platform was also promoting rainbow and Pride-themed marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That apparent disconnect touches on an ongoing criticism that social media giants benefit from the LGBTQ community without doing enough to protect those creators — many of whom say that marginalized people disproportionately shoulder the consequences when a platform doesn't enforce its policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some employees at Google, YouTube's parent company, also seem to have indicated that they're troubled by that dissonance, NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik \u003ca href=\"https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/06/06/youtube-vox-criticized-homophobia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told\u003c/a> Here & Now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/gaywonk/status/1134263774591037441\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his Twitter thread last week, Maza posted a montage of personal attacks he's faced over the past two years, both from Crowder and his fans. In videos responding to Maza's work for Vox, Crowder has repeatedly referred to Maza in derogatory ways, including calling him a \"lispy sprite,\" an \"angry little queer\" and a \"gay Mexican.\" (Maza is Cuban American.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maza has since received waves of vitriol, and had his personal phone number published online. In his store, Crowder sold a T-shirt depicting Che Guevara with a limp wrist, and a homophobic slur printed underneath. A version of that shirt with Maza's name on it appeared on a separate online store this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube's support team initially replied to the thread on Tuesday, saying that although Crowder's videos were \"clearly hurtful,\" he hadn't violated the company's policies against hate speech and harassment. The company argued that it's vital for users to be able to express their opinions, even if they're \"deeply offensive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/gaywonk/status/1134263774591037441\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Folkenflik explained: \"As [Maza] brought up pressure, as other journalists looked at it, as a lot of them teased out inconsistencies in the way in which YouTube had enacted its policies — YouTube said we're gonna demonetize [Crowder].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube followed up to say the decision to demonetize — or remove ads from his videos — could be reversed, if Crowder addresses \"all of the issues\" with his channel, which includes linking to his store that sells the Guevara T-shirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Google spokesperson declined to comment further on the Crowder decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1136341801109843968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1136341801109843968&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.npr.org%2F2019%2F06%2F08%2F730608664%2Fis-youtube-doing-enough-to-stop-harassment-of-lgbtq-content-creators\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This debate has opened up a few cans of worms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every minute, hundreds of \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-23/google-s-secret-trashy-video-ai-cleans-up-youtube-homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hours\u003c/a> of video is uploaded to YouTube, and the site relies heavily on algorithms and user reporting to flag inappropriate content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some argue that banning users for perceived harassment or hate speech amounts to censorship, and that enforcing those policies might inadvertently sweep up other content — satire, comedy, videos addressing actual hate speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And companies like Facebook and YouTube, both of which provide some financial support to NPR, have long argued that they're neutral platforms, committed to free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maza says his conflict with Crowder illustrates a key problem at YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is not a bug in the system,\" Maza says. \"That's YouTube working as it's supposed to work. YouTube rewards engaging content. Hate speech is engaging. So YouTube rewards hate speech.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maza says the issue isn't that someone is saying mean things; it's that others are being incited to continue harassing targets of abuse — and that platforms like YouTube continue to profit from LGBTQ people and people of color without adequately supporting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wants to create an impression that it's a company that cares about marginalized groups, but it doesn't want to implement policies that actually deal with the realities of how marginalized groups operate on speech platforms,\" Maza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When social media giants don't enforce anti-abuse policies, the people who suffer the most are the ones who most badly need access to speech platforms. So marginalized groups, people of color, queer people,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waves of high-profile LGBTQ creators have posted their support for Maza, including Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon and Tyler Oakley, who rose to fame on YouTube and has 7.4 million subscribers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/tyleroakley/status/1136235446671949824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1136235446671949824&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.npr.org%2F2019%2F06%2F08%2F730608664%2Fis-youtube-doing-enough-to-stop-harassment-of-lgbtq-content-creators\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other LGBTQ YouTubers have also continued to speak out about the \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/laurenstrapagiel/lgbt-creators-youtube-harassment-carlos-maza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">harassment\u003c/a> they have faced on the platform — and their frustration with its lack of response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've seen with other platforms that if you don't enforce these kinds of policies, what ends up happening is not that the targets of abuse and the abusers end up living in harmony,\" Maza says. \"It's that the targets of the abuse leave, and the abusers end up running the platform.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, activists reportedly lobbied San Francisco Pride to exclude Google from this year's parade over the ongoing controversy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spokesperson Fred Lopez told NPR that San Francisco Pride is monitoring the situation and has \"raised these concerns with our contacts at Google\" — but said the company is a sponsor of the 2019 parade and is still a \"registered contingent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube has previously drawn criticism in 2017 and 2018, when gay and transgender creators claimed the platform was demonetizing and placing unnecessary age \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/4/17424472/youtube-lgbt-demonetization-ads-algorithm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">restrictions\u003c/a> on their videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company published a blog post in 2017 addressing the concerns, saying its algorithms \"sometimes make mistakes in understanding context and nuances\" when determining what videos to restrict. The company said it would update its system and promised to do better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reports of LGBTQ YouTubers having their content restricted surfaced again the following year. Several creators, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LnYJi_64a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chase Ross\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC3OOXD_2MA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hank Green\u003c/a>, said the platform was adding homophobic advertisements to videos with LGBTQ content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company publicly \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/YouTube/status/1013104843412660224?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apologized\u003c/a> for the ads in June 2018, tweeting: \"It's critical to us that the LGBTQ community feels safe, welcome, equal, and supported on YouTube. ... we are committed to working with you to get this right.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Over the past few days, the company has released two \u003ca href=\"https://youtube.googleblog.com/2019/06/taking-harder-look-at-harassment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog posts\u003c/a> saying it would review its existing policies, as well as take steps to ban content that tries to \u003ca href=\"https://youtube.googleblog.com/2019/06/our-ongoing-work-to-tackle-hate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">justify discrimination\u003c/a> based on traits like sexual orientation, race and gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The back-and-forth tapped into a broader discussion around social media companies and what their obligation is to prevent harassment and hate speech on their platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The controversy also comes at the start of LGBTQ Pride Month. So while YouTube's support team announced that the homophobic language by right-wing YouTuber Steven Crowder — who has more than 3.8 million subscribers — against Maza didn't violate its terms of service, the platform was also promoting rainbow and Pride-themed marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Before 36 people died in the Dec. 2, 2016 Ghost Ship warehouse fire, Max Harris often replaced the “charred shell” of exploded fuses and reset circuit-breakers as part of his managerial duties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also mediated disputes between tenants, collected and deposited rent, and created documents indicating he’d collected security deposits. He signed emails to the landlord and others as “Executive Director.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this he did in exchange for free rent at the unpermitted Oakland residence and event venue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"ghost-ship\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris, one of two defendants each charged with 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter, described his role at the Fruitvale district warehouse to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigators on Dec. 7, just days after the fire. Jurors in the trial heard a recording of the interview Tuesday in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors called to the stand one of the ATF agents, Whitney Hameth, as well as Alameda County District Attorney’s Office investigator Cinda Stoddard, who described the contents of Harris’ cellphone, in an effort to show the defendant’s outsized role in managing the warehouse that’s been called a “death trap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evidence and testimony, delivered on what was expected to be prosecutors’ second to last day of calling witnesses, seemed to counter the defense’s depiction of Harris as a benignly helpful figure at an artist collective run without hierarchy or bosses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense has also said the fire resulted not from the actions or neglect of Harris and codefendant Derick Almena, who held the lease, but from arson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors allege Harris and Almena built and operated the warehouse with a willful disregard for safety, making them criminally responsible for the deaths, while the defense has attempted to shift blame to the property owner and government officials who visited Ghost Ship without flagging unsafe conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I helped facilitate the vision of the space,” Harris told the ATF agent. “If there was interpersonal conflict, sometimes I’d have to be the mediator.” Laughing, Harris was forthcoming and self-deprecating about his duties. “I’m like the executive director, but I have my hand this far down the toilet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if his responsibilities included maintenance, Harris responded, “Yes.” The power, delivered from an adjacent unit via extension cords, was a persistent problem. He said fuses would “literally explode.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another point in the recording, Harris said that although he sometimes communicated with the property owner, “I never thought to reach out to the landlord to insist they install [fire sprinklers].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also in the ATF interview, Harris described blocking off certain areas of the warehouse in anticipation of the electronic music event on the night of the fire, and generally fielding requests to book the space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under cross-examination, Harris’ attorney Curtis Briggs asked Hameth if the defendant voluntarily agreed to the interview and provided useful information. Hameth responded that Harris was cooperative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stoddard, the District Attorney’s Office investigator, whose testimony will continue Wednesday, described writing search warrants for the contents of Harris’ cellphone and email account. Almena’s phone wasn’t recovered, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors projected photographs extracted from the phone, including one of what appeared to be a handwritten rental agreement between Harris and a tenant indicating the collection of a “$500 security deposit for studio space at Satya Yuga,” another name for the Ghost Ship warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris also described himself as the space’s manager, and referred to Ghost Ship as “my warehouse,” in direct messages to other users of the dating app Tinder, which prosecutors also projected for jurors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m just getting ready for an event I’m about to host,” he wrote in a Tinder direct-message the day before the fire. In a different exchange on Tinder, he wrote, “I manage a hidden gem here in Oakland[.]”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on Tuesday, Jonathan Axtell recounted his narrow escape from Ghost Ship the night of the fire. Upon arriving, Axtell testified that he found the bottom floor beautifully decorated, and ascended a staircase he described as “handmade” and with unevenly spaced steps to find several friends upstairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After taking a few pictures of the scene, Axtell said he noticed a “small strand” of smoke seeping up through the floorboard. He recounted locking eyes with his friends Alex Ghassan and Hanna Ruax before a “pounding, black cloud of smoke” rushed up from the stairwell and hit him in the face. Axtell then recalled holding his breath while he rushed through the smoke down the stairs, hoping to reach “the only exit I knew of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the stairwell, the smoke was too thick for Axtell to see the glow of the cellphone in his hand, he said. Someone passed him on his way down, coughing and saying the smoke was “too thick,” but Axtell continued navigating towards the front door, relying on his memory of the lower-level layout, he recalled. Downstairs, he said he saw a faint glow and thought he might not survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hit a wall and pushed,” he said. “It turned out to be the door.” It was approximately 15 seconds after he’d seen the wisp of smoke upstairs, he said, and he was surprised to realize his friends weren’t close behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Axtell said he reopened the door, waving his cellphone flashlight and shouting to draw people to the exit. Then he went to the side of the building and, standing on a car, used a rock to break upper-floor windows until his hand started to bleed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once firefighters arrived, he told one of them that people were still inside the building. “She looked very surprised,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jurors also heard testimony from Oakland police officer Brian Kline and saw footage from his visit to the warehouse in 2015. In the video, Almena said that no one lived inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kline, under cross-examination, said he’d been inside the warehouse previously in 2014, when a tenant told him it was being used residentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense is expected to begin calling witnesses on Monday, June 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Jurors in the trial heard a recording of the interview Tuesday in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors called to the stand one of the ATF agents, Whitney Hameth, as well as Alameda County District Attorney’s Office investigator Cinda Stoddard, who described the contents of Harris’ cellphone, in an effort to show the defendant’s outsized role in managing the warehouse that’s been called a “death trap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evidence and testimony, delivered on what was expected to be prosecutors’ second to last day of calling witnesses, seemed to counter the defense’s depiction of Harris as a benignly helpful figure at an artist collective run without hierarchy or bosses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense has also said the fire resulted not from the actions or neglect of Harris and codefendant Derick Almena, who held the lease, but from arson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors allege Harris and Almena built and operated the warehouse with a willful disregard for safety, making them criminally responsible for the deaths, while the defense has attempted to shift blame to the property owner and government officials who visited Ghost Ship without flagging unsafe conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I helped facilitate the vision of the space,” Harris told the ATF agent. “If there was interpersonal conflict, sometimes I’d have to be the mediator.” Laughing, Harris was forthcoming and self-deprecating about his duties. “I’m like the executive director, but I have my hand this far down the toilet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if his responsibilities included maintenance, Harris responded, “Yes.” The power, delivered from an adjacent unit via extension cords, was a persistent problem. He said fuses would “literally explode.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At another point in the recording, Harris said that although he sometimes communicated with the property owner, “I never thought to reach out to the landlord to insist they install [fire sprinklers].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also in the ATF interview, Harris described blocking off certain areas of the warehouse in anticipation of the electronic music event on the night of the fire, and generally fielding requests to book the space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under cross-examination, Harris’ attorney Curtis Briggs asked Hameth if the defendant voluntarily agreed to the interview and provided useful information. Hameth responded that Harris was cooperative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stoddard, the District Attorney’s Office investigator, whose testimony will continue Wednesday, described writing search warrants for the contents of Harris’ cellphone and email account. Almena’s phone wasn’t recovered, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors projected photographs extracted from the phone, including one of what appeared to be a handwritten rental agreement between Harris and a tenant indicating the collection of a “$500 security deposit for studio space at Satya Yuga,” another name for the Ghost Ship warehouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris also described himself as the space’s manager, and referred to Ghost Ship as “my warehouse,” in direct messages to other users of the dating app Tinder, which prosecutors also projected for jurors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m just getting ready for an event I’m about to host,” he wrote in a Tinder direct-message the day before the fire. In a different exchange on Tinder, he wrote, “I manage a hidden gem here in Oakland[.]”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Upon arriving, Axtell testified that he found the bottom floor beautifully decorated, and ascended a staircase he described as “handmade” and with unevenly spaced steps to find several friends upstairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After taking a few pictures of the scene, Axtell said he noticed a “small strand” of smoke seeping up through the floorboard. He recounted locking eyes with his friends Alex Ghassan and Hanna Ruax before a “pounding, black cloud of smoke” rushed up from the stairwell and hit him in the face. Axtell then recalled holding his breath while he rushed through the smoke down the stairs, hoping to reach “the only exit I knew of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the stairwell, the smoke was too thick for Axtell to see the glow of the cellphone in his hand, he said. Someone passed him on his way down, coughing and saying the smoke was “too thick,” but Axtell continued navigating towards the front door, relying on his memory of the lower-level layout, he recalled. Downstairs, he said he saw a faint glow and thought he might not survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hit a wall and pushed,” he said. “It turned out to be the door.” It was approximately 15 seconds after he’d seen the wisp of smoke upstairs, he said, and he was surprised to realize his friends weren’t close behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Axtell said he reopened the door, waving his cellphone flashlight and shouting to draw people to the exit. Then he went to the side of the building and, standing on a car, used a rock to break upper-floor windows until his hand started to bleed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once firefighters arrived, he told one of them that people were still inside the building. “She looked very surprised,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jurors also heard testimony from Oakland police officer Brian Kline and saw footage from his visit to the warehouse in 2015. In the video, Almena said that no one lived inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kline, under cross-examination, said he’d been inside the warehouse previously in 2014, when a tenant told him it was being used residentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense is expected to begin calling witnesses on Monday, June 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It was the early 1950s, and roller rink skating was in full bloom in a postwar country looking for light recreation. To quote a period promo film made by the Roller Skating Foundation of America, “This is roller-skating, America’s favorite fun sport. A wholesome, year-round recreation. One of our truly great, All-American participant sports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right around the time the Moonlight Rollerway opened its doors, and that’s also when Cangelosi started his musical career, at the original Moonlight location in nearby Pasadena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that time in the ‘50s, there was nothing but live organ music in most roller-skating rinks around the country,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Betty Palubeski, the rink manager']‘Tuesday night, it kinda takes you back in time. Doesn’t matter how old you are, it makes you feel young.’[/pullquote]Business was so good that the Moonlight expanded, buying the Glendale rink in 1963. Cangelosi worked both places — he was one of three staff organists — but as the years went by, the glory days of skating to an organ began to disappear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, I was still working as a staff organist, only part time because after Elvis Presley and the Beatles, rock ‘n’ roll [records] came into the picture, and they kinda fazed out live organ music in the skating rinks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that didn’t stop Cangelosi. He was determined to keep the sound alive for die-hard rollers who craved the human touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1985, he dropped $96,000 and bought the Glendale rink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since I was the organist here for so many years and I took over the business,” he says, “I kept the live organ music going at least one night a week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night is Tuesday. And Tuesday is tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s almost 8, almost time for Cangelosi to fire up the mighty Hammond B-3. He sits and opens a spiral notebook filled with aging sheet music. But before he touches the keys, he’s on the microphone, a rare moment, offering a bit of simple Zen guidance that applies as much to a roller rink as it does to human existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do not stop along the rails. If you fall down, get up as quickly as you can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, the tradition begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drum machine clicks off a midtempo beat, and the Fabulous Dominic kicks into a mellow version of the standard, “Ain’t Misbehavin.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as they have for decades, people start to skate clockwise under the giant mirrored ball. They’re gliding slowly, arms out to the sides. Some are awkward, some are graceful. And almost everyone is smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an almost David Lynchian moment of transcendent American beauty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11751634\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11751634\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/Queenie-Black-left-with-fellow-Moonlight-Rollerway-fan-Ava-Garcia.-Both-are-regulars-on-Tuesday-nights-when-the-Fabulous-Dominic-commands-the-organ-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Queenie Black, left, with fellow Moonlight Rollerway fan Ava Garcia.

It was the early 1950s, and roller rink skating was in full bloom in a postwar country looking for light recreation. To quote a period promo film made by the Roller Skating Foundation of America, “This is roller-skating, America’s favorite fun sport. A wholesome, year-round recreation. One of our truly great, All-American participant sports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right around the time the Moonlight Rollerway opened its doors, and that’s also when Cangelosi started his musical career, at the original Moonlight location in nearby Pasadena.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At that time in the ‘50s, there was nothing but live organ music in most roller-skating rinks around the country,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Cangelosi worked both places — he was one of three staff organists — but as the years went by, the glory days of skating to an organ began to disappear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, I was still working as a staff organist, only part time because after Elvis Presley and the Beatles, rock ‘n’ roll [records] came into the picture, and they kinda fazed out live organ music in the skating rinks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that didn’t stop Cangelosi. He was determined to keep the sound alive for die-hard rollers who craved the human touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1985, he dropped $96,000 and bought the Glendale rink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since I was the organist here for so many years and I took over the business,” he says, “I kept the live organ music going at least one night a week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night is Tuesday. And Tuesday is tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s almost 8, almost time for Cangelosi to fire up the mighty Hammond B-3. He sits and opens a spiral notebook filled with aging sheet music. But before he touches the keys, he’s on the microphone, a rare moment, offering a bit of simple Zen guidance that applies as much to a roller rink as it does to human existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do not stop along the rails. If you fall down, get up as quickly as you can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, the tradition begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drum machine clicks off a midtempo beat, and the Fabulous Dominic kicks into a mellow version of the standard, “Ain’t Misbehavin.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as they have for decades, people start to skate clockwise under the giant mirrored ball. They’re gliding slowly, arms out to the sides. Some are awkward, some are graceful. And almost everyone is smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an almost David Lynchian moment of transcendent American beauty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11751634\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11751634\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/05/Queenie-Black-left-with-fellow-Moonlight-Rollerway-fan-Ava-Garcia.-Both-are-regulars-on-Tuesday-nights-when-the-Fabulous-Dominic-commands-the-organ-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Queenie Black, left, with fellow Moonlight Rollerway fan Ava Garcia.
