dead at a grocery store in boulder, colorado, on march 22nd, and just a week before, eight victims at atlanta area spas. a painful list while adding another city this week. >> and as this community begins to heal, two vigils planned today and as investigations continue to push forward, we know that officials will be reviewing the evidence collected at the suspect's home yesterday and they will also continue interviewing witnesses in hopes of finding a motive. alex? >> a tragic event to say the least. kathy park, thank you for that update. >> let's go now to the breaking news from chicago. that city bracing for more protests today as calls grow for justice in the police shooting death of 13-year-old adam toledo. let's go to nbc's rehema ellis who joins us with more on this. how would you describe the scene there today? >> reporter: i would say it's peaceful here today right now, and last night there were two arrests from the largest demonstration to date and the demonstration which was mostly peaceful, but people are demanding accountability following the police shooting death of this 13-year-

what's your view of mlb pulling the all-star game from atlanta? >> i think that is the kind of thing to expect to see when you actually create legislation that restricts or reduces the potential for people to vote opposed to expanding. this -- you know, the governor said, also, there were no issues with the election on january 5th or in november when the presidential election took place. but all of a sudden we have to put restrictions in place that limit the ability for people to vote and then you may even say if people happen to give individuals water for standing in line for long periods of time that that's illegal. there's something draconian and seriously wrong with what we are seeing. >> yeah. i think there's a lot that agree with that and including two black executives who called on companies to directly oppose the new georgia laws and some americans like american airlines, dell, delta, coca-cola put out statements for the first time i might add. do you think that public pressure played a role here. how much does it help after the law has pa

just imagine taking a high-speed train chicago to atlanta. most americans wouldn't imagine doing that trip by rail and that's less than beijing and shanghai and they built the most popular high-speed rail line in the world. but just not chicago and atlanta but nashville, indianapolis, all these cities in between that have been left out of this next generation economy. that's why high-speed rail is so significant. yes, i'll be fighting for more but we'll take what we can get and be a start. >> i got to say having traveled orr in europe that's a wonderful high-speed rail from city to city and see the country that way so i applaud those efforts. let's talk about what senator mcconnell is saying about the plan generally. >> as much as we would like to address infrastructure, it is not going to get sun port from our side because i think what the economy -- the last thing the economy needs right now is a big whopping tax increase on all the productive sections of our economy. >> with that no support approach from republicans is this plan going to h

shame on the atlanta braves for the ridiculous statement they released. good luck to other teams who don't have active voter suppression or general people oppression laws in place. i was a member of the state legislature a long time ago. the reality is republican legislators try to call themselves fundamentally pro business, but look here, business ain't coming to your state if you're oppressing people and suppressing people's right to vote. business is not coming in the face of human oppression. that needs to be the new standard going forward. i hope these deeply red legislatures realize we can't detach economic behavior from the social construct. >> guys, appreciate you so much, good seeing you. >>> if you want evidence that america's covid-19 battle is far from over, one state is exhibit "a" in this story. ♪ for decades, most bladder leak pads were similar. until always discreet changed that. by inventing a revolutionary pad, that's incredibly thin. because it protects differently. with two rapiddry layers that overlap, where you need it most. for st

the atlanta journal constitution described a scene that showed how personal things had gotten. quote, moments after gaveling the legislative session to an end early thursday, house speaker stood before a bank of tv cameras and admitted something that many lifelong georgians would never say publicly. he purposely cracked open a pepsi. it wnt be a surprise if either company doesn't have a seat at the table when it comes to policy decisions going forward. i mean, currently the two most famous companies in georgia, does the hypocrisy of these snowflake brigade know no bounds. they lecture us for being too thin skins, on the need for free speech, so why this ridiculously hostile response to the delta ceo's freedom of speech? they're probably not going to be happy that other corporate leaders are also exercising their right to free speak, like tim cook who said today american history is the story of expanding the right to vote to all citizens and black people in particular have had to march, struggle, and even give their lives for more than a century to defend that right. gosh, i won

i mean pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, colorado, portland, oregon, atlanta, georgia, wherever, they look like they're going to war. they have shields, big equipment, and they do that because they want to let people protesting know who is in charge, who holds the authority, who will bend the knee who whom. that's the point. explicitly, it's a psychological performance. that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, show of force with curfews, tear gas and flash bangs. take all the footage before last summer, since and now. take all that and look for a moment at utter inversion of what happened on the steps of the capitol in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean there were officers there, right? covered multiple protests in washington and tends to be a lot of cops around when people are protesting particularly on the mall and capitol. but january 6th, almost no one there. don't have the big wraps and huge bits of equipment, little stanchions in front of them look like bike racks. but not just fortifying, but notable in the interactio

i mean, pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, portland, atlanta -- wherever, they look like. that they look like they're going to war. they have shields. they have big equipment. and they do that because they want to let people protesting know who is in charge. who holds the authority. who will bend the need to whom. that's the point. explicitly. it's a psychological performance. >> that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, a show of force with curfews and tear gas. flashbacks. and now just take all of that footage we've seen. before last summer, during last summer, and since, and now. take all of that. and just look for a moment at the utter in version of what happened on the steps of the capital in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean, there are officers there, right? i've covered multiple protests in washington. there tends to be a lot of cops around. particularly on the mall, on the capital. but on january six, there was relatively speaking, no one there. they don't have the big man huge fits of equipment brought in. the
