BREAKING: A jury has found the three men who killed Ahmaud Arbery as he was running along a Georgia road guilty of felony murder.

buzzfeednews.com/article/salvad…
Arbery was killed in February 2020 and though the unarmed man was gunned down in broad daylight, the men who admitted they had chased him in their trucks and killed him were not immediately arrested.

buzzfeednews.com/article/salvad…
It wasn’t until video of the shooting became public, drawing questions about how local authorities handled the investigation, that the three men were charged with murder.

buzzfeednews.com/article/salvad…
• Travis McMichael, who pulled the trigger and shot Arbery, was convicted of all nine charges.

• Greg McMichael was convicted on eight charges.

• William Bryan was convicted on six charges.

All three now face life in prison.

Women are sharing their stories about sexual encounters with celebrities and are finding comfort uniting with each other to call out the power imbalances.

But not everyone agrees on the most effective way to do it. buzzfeednews.com/article/hallie…

As the fallout over Astroworld continues with dozens of lawsuits piling up, and many of them implicating Travis Scott, fans are divided over whether or not he should carry most of the blame. buzzfeednews.com/article/michae…
For Kylie, who has been a fan of Scott since 2017 and attended the festival, Scott’s statements on the deaths at Astroworld feel insincere. She has also been critical of the partnership between Scott and BetterHelp, as it will only cover a month of services for free.
And though the chaotic nature of Scott’s concerts have been well documented, most notably in his Netflix documentary Look Mom I Can Fly, one fan was “surprised” by the number of casualties and people hurt last week.

NEW: We combed through hundreds of Jan. 6 court records to get a full picture of the weapons Trump supporters are accused of bringing to the Capitol that day.

They range from guns and knives to flagpoles and a skateboard.
buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The most common charge stemming from Jan. 6 is illegally entering the Capitol — which carries a maximum one-year prison sentence.

But adding a weapons charge ups the maximum sentence to 10 years.
The most common weapons that show up in the charging documents are knives, axes, and chemical sprays. But prosecutors also say baseball bats, fire extinguishers, and police gear taken from officers were used against authorities that day.

Climate experts warn that climate inaction will have a higher price tag.

We tried to calculate how much👇 🧵
buzzfeednews.com/article/zahrah…
The World Bank described the pandemic’s economic impact as the worst recession since WWII, with unemployment soaring to 13%.

Now imagine the US economy enduring that every 5 years, starting in 2030. That’s what one researcher estimates climate change could cost.
Climate change is already costing plenty.

Researchers found that about $13 billion of the $85 - $125 billion in damages caused by Hurricane Harvey’s historic flooding can be attributable to climate change. Harvey is the second-most expensive hurricane in US history.
