A beautiful young Ukrainian refugee who escaped war only to be murdered by a career criminal on Charlotte’s light rail system. Iryna Zarutska, just 23 years old, was stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack that has left Americans asking how our justice system failed so badly. The killer, Decarlos Brown Jr., had been arrested 14 times before he took this innocent woman’s life.
This is what happens when liberal prosecutors and weak judges put criminals back on the streets instead of keeping them locked up where they belong. Brown should have been behind bars, not riding public transit looking for his next victim. Every American should be outraged that our revolving door justice system allowed this monster to walk free.
Surveillance video shows the horrific moment Brown pulled out a knife and stabbed Zarutska three times without any warning or interaction. She was simply sitting on the train, scrolling through her phone, when this savage attacked her from behind. Passengers screamed and tried to help, but it was too late for this promising young woman.
Zarutska came to America to escape the violence in Ukraine, only to be killed by the violence we allow on our own streets. She was a talented artist who believed in the American dream and wanted to build a safer life here. Instead, she became another victim of our broken criminal justice system.
President Trump called out this travesty on social media, asking why this “mentally deranged lunatic” was allowed to roam free. He’s absolutely right to demand answers about cashless bail and the soft-on-crime policies that put law-abiding citizens at risk. We need leaders who will stand up to the criminal coddling crowd.
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein talks about needing more police officers, but that’s not enough. We need prosecutors who will actually prosecute and judges who will hand down real sentences. When career criminals face no consequences, they keep committing crimes until someone dies.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles admits this was a “tragic failure by the courts and magistrates,” but words won’t bring Zarutska back. The blood is on the hands of every official who chose to be lenient with violent criminals. How many more innocent people have to die before we get serious about public safety.
This murder should be a wake-up call for every American who cares about justice and safety. We cannot allow career criminals to terrorize our communities while politicians make excuses. It’s time to demand real accountability and put the safety of law-abiding citizens first.
