A young Ukrainian woman came to America seeking freedom and safety. Instead, she found death at the hands of a career criminal who should have been locked up years ago. Iryna Zarutska was only 23 when a deranged killer stabbed her to death on a Charlotte train in broad daylight.
The monster who murdered her had been arrested 14 times before. Decarlos Brown Jr. spent five years in prison for armed robbery and had serious mental health problems. Yet liberal judges and prosecutors kept letting him walk free to terrorize innocent people.
This is what happens when Democrats run cities with their soft-on-crime policies. They care more about criminals than victims. They release dangerous thugs back onto the streets where they can hurt more law-abiding Americans.
The attack happened on August 22nd, but the mainstream media barely covered it. Only after shocking video footage leaked did this story get attention. If this had been a different type of crime, CNN would have covered it 24/7 for weeks.
President Trump spoke out about this tragedy and promised to crack down on violent crime. Republican leaders like Elon Musk and Senator Mike Lee demanded justice. Meanwhile, Democrat politicians stayed silent as usual.
There was no security guard on that train when Zarutska needed help most. The Charlotte transit system failed to protect riders from known threats. Now they promise more security, but it is too late for this innocent young woman.
This murder shows why Americans are fed up with liberal leadership in our cities. Working families deserve safe streets and public transportation. They should not have to fear for their lives because politicians refuse to lock up repeat offenders.
Iryna Zarutska came to America for a better life, but liberal policies killed her dreams. Her blood is on the hands of every prosecutor and judge who let this criminal roam free. This senseless death could have been prevented with tough-on-crime leadership.
