i'm grace lee. your realtime captioner is linda marie macdonald. good afternoon, everybody. i'm frank mallicoat. >> i'm grace lee. protestors at sfo are demanding an apology today from the airline that removed a man off a flight. >> that's after he reportedly refused to pull up his pants. the incident happened more than a month ago.
12:01 pm
kristy seifkin is at sfo with why some people are upset. >> reporter: good afternoon. dozens of individuals filled the terminal here at u.s. airways here in support of deshon, many individuals from "colorofchange" a black civil rights organization. they gathered 40,000 signatures from people all across the country demanding that u.s. airways apologize to deshon marman. they were here to hand over the signatures to the ticketing at u.s. airways. the group's request was twofold. first they wanted a public apology and second they want u.s. airways to detail the measures that the organization will take to make sure what happened to marman doesn't happen again. naacp president amos brown and deshon's mom donna were both
12:02 pm
there with "colorofchange." many were holding signs. deshon's mom said there was no reason that the pilot should have been confronting deshon on the plane on june 15. and that this clearly was an issue of racial profiling. >> humiliating, it's embarrassing. and it's pretty degrading that someone would target a person by their color of their skin. >> reporter: u.s. airways says that deshon was arrested because he didn't comply with crewmembers. but his mother says that wasn't the case and that he was targeted. marman supporters pointed to the fact that just days after deshon flew a white man wearing women's underwear flew without issue. donna doyle said they offered flights to her and her son and they refused but that they never apologized. supporters at today's event delivered petitions to u.s. airways. and the individual who they handed those to said that he
12:03 pm
couldn't provide a response but that he would hand those petitions over to "corporate." everybody hopes these petitions being handed over will prove to u.s. airways that they had behaviors that were unacceptable to them. >> kristy, they are hoping to have an impact. did it have any effect on the passengers at sfo today? >> people were looking around kind of wondering what was going on. one man said this behavior was unacceptable and he had a very kind of large commanding voice and so that drew people's attention. couple of people asked us what was going on. one of the things they did at the event was read statements from passengers who signed those petitions and a lot of the passengers said we refuse to fly u.s. airways again until you actually aapologize to deshon and his family. it will be interesting to see how u.s. airways responds. >> thank you, kristy seifkin live at sfo.

12:09 pm
at the house 70 times but never spotted jaycee dugard in the backyard and how he was released early. how phillip garrido would brag about his earlier sexual assaults to his victims, his m.o., the way he would pretend to hitchhike and then smack the victim heads on the steering wheel, handcuff them, the report says, and then take them to a prepared place where he would assault them. so clearly, some disturbing new details about exactly what garrido did, how he did it, and how law enforcement failed to capture him for so long. after that report, there is a panel discussion that's going on right now, a number of players here. the alameda d.a.'s office is here. we have crime victims groups as well as some just regular folks, public comment, as well. and so this is sort of just the first step in trying to figure out what went wrong here and, of course, how to fix it. that's the most important part, making sure something like this never happens again. >> absolutely, nick, absolutely. nick janes live in sacramento, thanks, nick. coming up the former president of egypt making some
