Subsequently, he shared a text graphic emphasizing community fears. "LA is afraid right now because their coworkers were kidnapped at work... a bunch of neighbors' parents straight up never came home," the message read.
"Whatever the news tells you in the coming days... they're gonna paint a vision of LA that is much different from that. Don't let them," the post cautioned.
