UCLA dorm assaults arrest, Riverside fire displaces 150, Ziggy Marley on his latest album — Saturday Edition
A 29-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a series of violent attacks on UCLA dorm residents, carrying weapons like zip ties and duct tape, with bail set at $2.3 million. Meanwhile, a fire near UC Riverside displaced about 150 people, possibly sparked by a plumbing repair, prompting an emergency evacuation center to open. On a more hopeful note, reggae legend Ziggy Marley released his new album 'Bright Side,' recorded at 432 hertz—a frequency he believes is more spiritually aligned with nature—and wrote his first song about his late father Bob Marley at age 57, driven by newfound empathy and life experience. Marley also built a creative hub in North Hollywood to produce music, press vinyl, and pass down a cultural legacy. The LA Report also covers the shelving of a proposed mansion tax reduction, a new record shop offering free vinyl to fire survivors, and expanded voting centers ahead of the primary.
