Stacey Abrams announces candidacy in Georgia governor's race
Democrat Stacey Abrams announced Wednesday she's running for governor of Georgia in 2022, setting the stage for a possible rematch against the current governor, Republican Brian Kemp, who narrowly beat Abrams in 2018.
Her entrance into the contest keeps the political spotlight on Georgia, which has become one of the most competitive and closely watched states in the nation.
Abrams, a former Democratic leader in the Georgia House who has emerged as a vocal voting rights advocate on the national stage, rose to prominence in the 2018 race, representing, for some, a possible future of the Democratic Party. ...

Three Men Are Found Guilty of Murdering Ahmaud Arbery
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Three white men were found guilty of murder and other charges on Wednesday for the pursuit and fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, in a case that, together with the killing of George Floyd, helped inspire the racial justice protests of last year.
The three defendants — Travis McMichael, 35; his father, Gregory McMichael, 65; and their neighbor William Bryan, 52 — face sentences of up to life in prison. The men have also been indicted on separate federal charges, including hate crimes and attempted kidnapping, and are expected to stand trial in February on those charges. ...
Convicting the killers is a step forward. But how about we stop the killing.
As noted elsewhere and in currently circulating memes, The MicMichaels were not arrested, nor considered "flight risks", nor were charges initially pursued in the matter. In an official statement by Glynn County, GA:
[O]fficers were advised by the DA’s office that no arrests were necessary at the time. Detectives met with DA George Barnhill, Sr. of the Waycross Judicial Circuit the following day and reviewed their findings with him. DA Barnhill, Sr. advised detectives before noon on Feb. 24, that the act was justifiable homicide.
It was public outcry which led to justice being served, though Ahmaud Arbery remains dead, victim of murder.
