Rep. Ogles says America needs to "get back to the business of being the dominant predator."



Race, class, and alleged cover-up, an outrageous witch hunt and a conspiracy theory that persists. Eleven years later the #KendrickJohnson story remains wildly misunderstood. Forget what you think you know -- here's the true story of a murder that wasn't open.substack.com/pub/reporterat…


So I'm debuting a new venture, ReporterATL on Substack. You'll get original reporting and insights from a veteran journalist with an offbeat sensibility. (And while my first post involves Donald Trump, most that follow will not). Check me out reporteratl.substack.com

The killing of #TyreNichols mirrors a case six years ago in middle Georgia. Eurie Martin was beaten to death who were harassing him after he asked a white homeowner for water on a hot day. The cops were acquitted. atlantamagazine.com/news-culture-a…
