Nick Shirley says doxxers are hampering his investigations, has concerns about his own security

Independent journalist Nick Shirley claimed he can no longer investigate in major cities without a professional security detail amid escalating threats and doxxing.

Shirley said activists are spreading his location to disrupt his videos and inquiries into fraud. He recalled that in Baltimore and in California, critics shared his location with messages like, "Run Nick Shirley out," or, "If you see Nick Shirley, it's on site."

"People are over it. Start working for the people and not against them," he added in the March 16 post.

Shirley noted on Fox News how faith has motivated him in his investigations.

"More so than anything, it's kept me on the straight-and-narrow, and it's kept me on a good path to be able to go do what I want to do," he said.
