I felt some type of way upon learning that Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael, and William Bryan were each found guilty of the horrific murder of Ahmaud Arbery in 2020. I couldn’t place a finger on the exact emotion because it was sandwiched somewhere between delight, surprise, immense sadness, and indignant vindication.
