If you are way into politics, you are not the average American. Not even close.A new poll from the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center reveals how shockingly little people know about even the most basic elements of our government and the Constitution that formed it.Take your pick from this bouillabaisse:* More than one in three people (37%) could not name a single right protected by the First Amendment. THE FIRST AMENDMENT.* Only one in four (26%) can name all three branches of the government. (In 2011, 38% could name all three branches.)* One in three (33%) can't name any branch of government. None. Not even one.* A majority (53%) believe the Constitution affords undocumented immigrants no rights. However, everyone in the US is entitled to due process of law and the right to make their case before the courts, at the least.(And the First Amendment protects the rights to free speech, free exercise of religion, freedom of the press and the rights of people to peaceably assemble, in case you were wondering.)"Protecting the rights guaranteed by the Constitution presupposes that we know what they are," said Annenberg Director Kathleen Hall Jamieson. "The fact that many don't is worrisome."The Annenberg poll is far from the first to reveal not only our collective ignorance about the basic tenets of democracy but also the fact that we are even less informed than we were in the past.Take this Pew Research Center poll from 2010. When asked to name the chief justice of the Supreme Court, less than three in 10 (28%) correctly answered John Roberts. That compares unfavorably to the 43% who rightly named William Rehnquist as the chief justice in a Pew poll back in 1986.What did the 72% of people who didn't name Roberts as the chief justice in 2010 say instead, you ask? A majority (53%) said they didn't know. Eight percent guessed Thurgood Marshall, who was never a chief justice of the Court and, perhaps more importantly, had been dead for 17 years when the poll was taken. Another 4% named Harry Reid, who is not now nor ever was a Supreme Court Justice.What we don't know about the government -- executive, legislative and judicial branches -- is appalling. It's funny -- until you realize that lots and lots of people whose lives are directly affected by what the federal government does and doesn't do have absolutely no idea about even the most basic principles of how this all works.It leads to huge amounts of discontent from the public when they realize that no politician can make good on the various and sundry promises they make on the campaign trail. 2654

If it's hard to understand how a service member could end up on the streets, listen to Chris Perry's story.“When I got out, my transition back into civilian life didn’t work out too well," Perry said. "I became homeless for about five or six years and kept getting into a lot of trouble."Perry battled addiction when he left the Marine Corps after eight years of service. He is an Iraq War veteran, who enlisted in the Marine Corps as soon as he could.“I joined when I was 17. My mama had to sign a paper to let me go in early," Perry recalled.When he left the military, he found himself lost in the country he swore to protect.“Honestly, I didn’t see any light at the end of my tunnel," Perry said.Finding that light can take a village, and for Perry, it's not a figure of speech.The tiny homes of Kansas City's Veterans Community Project are a unique approach to the all-too-common problem of veteran homelessness.Army Veteran Brandonn Mixon, who served in Afghanistan, is one of the founders of the Veterans Community Project, and he knows the challenges so many veterans face.“The most successful I’ve ever been was in the military. When I came back home, I couldn’t adjust. I couldn’t transition out of the military mentality back to the civilian-life mentality," Mixon said.The veterans who live in the village get to keep everything inside their tiny home, and the staff helps connect them with services so they can move forward.While some nonprofits may consider factors like whether a veteran looking for help was honorably discharged from the military to join this community, the promise at the core of service is what matters most.“By veteran, I mean, you raised your right hand, you took the oath to serve your country, you could have served one day or 100 years; you’re a veteran in our book," said Bryan Meyer, one of the founders of Veterans Community Project who served in the Marine Corps and was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and 2005.The tiny homes model is expanding nationwide. The Veterans Community Project broke ground on a new village in Longmont, Colorado.The expansion is important because each veteran, like Chris Perry who is now enrolled in community college, is now on the right path.“They got me to a point where there is no going back, so it’s just straightforward from here," Perry said.However, there are still people who took the oath to protect this country and living on its streets in need of help."I know there is a veteran who is sleeping on the streets. There is a veteran crying right now, wanting to commit suicide because there’s nobody who has his back. I’m not going to lie, we’re not going to be done until we find that veteran," Mixon said. "We save his life, we have his back, because he would do that for me, and I owe it to do it for him.” 2794

In 2019, reported hate crimes were the highest they’ve been in more than a decade, new stats released by the FBI show.What is a hate crime?“It’s different depending on the state. The federal government has their definition and each state really has their own definition,” said Stacey Hervey, Affiliate Criminal Justice Professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.“Hate crimes are motivated by stereotypes, biases or prejudices against a certain group of individuals,” said Apryl Alexander, Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Denver.Last year, the U.S. saw the highest number of reported hate crime cases since 2008, as shown by the FBI’s recently released 2019 stats.“Hate crimes are often fueled by people who feel slighted in some way, that they have some sense of injustice for who they are,” Alexander said.She explained why people follow through with hate crimes.“When we’re referring to Mexican people as rapists what does that do to your psyche? Are you internalizing some of that and is that fueling you to commit some sort of hate crime or microaggression.”These thoughts can lead to words, or even violence. The more you hear them the more they can impact your thoughts.“We have a current atmosphere right now that those on the fringes, and it doesn't matter what side of the extremist fringe you're on, kind of condones that violence,” Hervey explained. “Social media, because we've been cooped up, definitely has a role in encouraging…giving people the opportunity to find like-minded people who have their same viewpoints.”Hervey explained that current events, mixed with everyone staying home, and different groups targeting people on social media during the pandemic, are all having a big impact.“You're seeing these organized hate crime groups grooming these loner type individuals looking for this collective identity. Also what you see with gang membership,” Hervey said. “Social isolation is leading people to find their collective identity or group online.”Of the 8,302 hate crime offenses reported in 2019, a reported 57.6% stemmed from race, ethnicity, and ancestry bias. The second largest category was motivated by religious bias at 20%, according to FBI data.“It used to be based on sexual orientation was the largest group for hate crimes, and now it’s really turned to ethnicity and race,” Hervey said.“It’s affecting communities. What’s happening right now is communities of color being fearful of going out in public knowing these hate crimes are existing,” Alexander said.While not all hate crimes go reported due to fear, or differing definitions based on jurisdiction, Hervey and Alexander said bystanders can play an important role in awareness.“People are afraid to get involved because of increased violence in our society. My recommendation for people who witness something is to document it either through their phone or through a written format, and then encourage people to call the police so it can be documented because it is an increased problem today in society,” Hervey said. 3056

IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. (KGTV) - South San Diego County families were left in tears. A single mother and her kids were forced to sleep in their car. 10News investigative reporter Jennifer Kastner is exposing the man accused of running an elaborate housing rental scheme and preying on people who are struggling to make it in San Diego. Deputies believe that Daniel Uriarte pretended to own a house and scammed more than ,000 from several families that were looking to rent. Jacenia Ramos was crying when she met with 10News. “I mean, he didn't only do it to us, he did it to other people, too. That's just wrong,” Ramons says. Two weeks ago, 10News connected with Ramos’ family and other families after someone posted a warning about Uriarte on an Imperial Beach community Facebook page. Multiple people told 10News that Uriarte was operating a fake rental on a property in Imperial Beach.When 10News arrived at the house, there were signs in the window. “I basically placed [the signs up] that the house is not for rent and if someone did rent it out to them, to contact the local deputies and they'll help them out,” says Eric Leon Estrada.Leon Estrada cares for the house for his mother, who owns it. They started renting it out to Uriarte and his family in 2018. Leon Estrada and his mother tells 10News they came across a Craigslist post a few months ago advertising a two-room apartment for ,200 a month. The ad said the unit -- which was a garage converted to an apartment -- was still under construction, according to Estrada. Leon Estrada says that Uriarte knew that subletting was not allowed. He showed 10News a copy of the lease, which clearly states that they agreed "not to transfer, assign or sublet the premises or any part thereof." Leon Estrada and his mother say that they told Uriarte’s family that they had 30 days to leave.Leon Estrada says he noticed "mail coming in from different families with different last names, so it doesn't take a detective to figure that out.”“I’m very grateful that we had a car to sleep in. We could have been sleeping on the sidewalk,” says a young woman who 10News is not identifying. She’s overcome with shame and embarrassment. She says her family fell for Uriarte’s Craigslist ad and handed over a massive deposit, thinking that he was the owner. Yet when they tried to move in, they tell 10News that Uriarte kept making excuses to delay their move-in. “There was lead paint. There was something wrong with the electric cables. It was just excuse after excuse,” she adds. Ramos tells 10News that Uriarte gave her a similar run-around. “I was so stressed out. I ended up in the hospital because of all the stress,” she explains. She shared with 10News a voicemail that she says Uriarte left her. In part of it, the man’s voice is heard saying, "It’s not that I don't want to rent to you. It's not. I'm telling you, and it's the truth, it's the fact that I don't have enough time to finish up that job.” A few days after 10News interviewed some of the families at the house in Imperial Beach, this station received a call from a San Diego County Sheriff's detective. He told 10News that they planned to arrest Uriarte soon. Over the phone, Uriarte denied doing anything wrong. Last Friday, he was scheduled to meet 10News, but he never showed up. He texted that his attorney would contact 10News, which never happened. This Tuesday, deputies notified 10News that they'd arrested him. Part of the statement reads, “From June 5 to July 24, 2019 Daniel Uriarte…misrepresented himself as the owner and manager of a rental property located in the 800 block of 10th Street in Imperial Beach. Uriarte advertised the property via Craigslist and presented fraudulent rental agreements to his victims. To date, Uriarte has scammed six known victims out of more than ,000. On August 23rd, Detectives from the Imperial Beach Sheriff's Substation arrested Uriarte for six counts of obtaining money by false pretenses. He was booked into the San Diego Central Jail. Uriarte's first court appearance is scheduled for August 28th at 1:30 p.m. at the South Bay Courthouse. While this case has been submitted to the District Attorney's Office, the investigation is ongoing. The Sheriff's Department is looking for additional victims or witnesses. Anyone with information can call Detective Jason Phillips with the Imperial Beach Sheriff's Substation at (619) 498-2400.”10News attended Uriarte’s arraignment on Wednesday, where he pleaded not guilty. His bail is set at ,000. His next court appearance is in September. 4580
