So, I just wanted to share something important that happened a few months ago. I didn't know him personally, but that doesn't matter. For my international readers (if I have any) and my U.S.A. ones, you may already be aware of this, but I thought I'd share it here just because it's his birthday today.
A black man by the name of Ahmaud Arbery got shot by two men in Georgia on Feb. 23. 2020 while he was out jogging. He got shot for 'looking like a suspect." because....of racial profiling.
The father and son that killed him just got arrested Thursday, which means it took the Georgia Police and the G.B.I. (Georgia Beauru of Investigation) about two and a half months to arrest them.
It's Ahmaud's birthday today. People are doing a dedication jog/run for 2.23 miles in their neighborhoods (keeping social distances and COVID in mind of course), which is the amount that he jogged before he died. I've decided to part take in that.
If anyone wants live updates on this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/08/us/ahmaud-arbery-shooting-georgia.html
Because of this, I will not be updating today. But I'll see you all tomorrow. Thank you for understanding.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Stay safe everyone.
