Viral 'speed run' raids at LA Scientology HQ rattle visitors, draw police scrutiny
A viral TikTok trend dubbed 'speed runs' has drawn crowds to the Church of Scientology’s LA HQ on Hollywood Boulevard, with dozens forcing entry, injuring staff, and triggering LAPD trespass reports, though no arrests have been made. The church denounced the incidents as trespass and disruption and said it is reviewing remedies. The trend appears linked to an 18-year-old content creator; critics like Leah Remini urged focusing on the church’s practices rather than spectacle.
