CNN alters controversial homicide arrest headline after saying Jewish protester ‘fell and hit his head’

Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji was charged with involuntary manslaughter related to the death of Paul Kessler

CNN changed a headline on Thursday following outrage over their report about an arrest being made for the death of a Jewish man at a protest in Los Angeles earlier this month. 

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department announced that Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji, 50, had been taken into custody and charged with involuntary manslaughter related to the death of Paul Kessler on Nov. 5. Investigators with the department allege that Alnaji caused Kessler, a 69-year-old pro-Israel protester, to knock his head onto the concrete when he fell, which resulted in brain hemorrhaging that led to his death hours later in the hospital. Some witnesses have told Fox News Digital that the pro-Palestinian protester struck Kessler with his megaphone.

According to the Wayback Machine, CNN’s original headline read, “Arrest made in death of Jewish protester who fell and hit his head.” However, hours later, it changed.

“Arrest made in death of Jewish protester in California after confrontation over Israel-Hamas war,” the new headline reads.
