A homeless man was recently indicted for the deadly December stabbing of a grandmother in Buckhead, an Atlanta suburb gunning to secede from the Democrat-run city over soaring violent crime.
Antonio Brown, 23, was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury last week on 12 counts, including murder and armed robbery, in connection to the death of 77-year-old Eleanor Bowles, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.

“The wheels of justice have begun to move for my mother,” Michael Bowles said in a statement obtained by the Journal after his mother’s death. “This has been a nightmare for our family. My mom should have been safe in her home. If she wasn’t…
