Last year Neil Bedi and I found a video on Instagram of a young man tying up an elderly man and beating him with a hammer, alleging he was a pedophile This marks an escalation of the online pedophile hunting movement. We documented 170+ attacks in 2 years in a new investigation.

SCOOP: We obtained video footage showing Israel attacked the convoy of aid workers in Gaza with a barrage of bullets, a paramedic frantically says his prayers of death. The ambulances had lights on & were marked refuting Israel's claim. w/ Christoph Koettl nytimes.com/2025/04/04/wor…

The L.A.P.D.’s widespread use of less-lethal weapons on protesters in June was intended to limit injuries and deaths. But our analysis shows how officers misused the weapons, violating department protocol by shooting and severely injuring two protesters with 40-mm sponge rounds.
