CNN faced massive backlash this week for their tone-deaf segment about the brutal murder of a Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte. The liberal network somehow managed to make a horrific crime about politics instead of justice. Americans watched in disgust as CNN hosts danced around the real issues.
Iryna Zarutska was just 23 years old when she came to America seeking safety from war. She fled Ukraine hoping to find the American dream and a better life. Instead, she found death at the hands of a career criminal who should never have been on the streets.
The killer, Decarlos Brown, had been arrested more than 14 times in 12 years. This dangerous man had a long history of violence and mental illness. Yet somehow he was still free to roam the streets and attack innocent people.
CNN’s panel spent their time making excuses and asking where mentally ill criminals should go. They acted like keeping violent repeat offenders locked up was some impossible puzzle. Conservative panelist Caroline Downey had to school them on basic common sense.
The liberal approach to crime has failed miserably and this murder proves it. Soft-on-crime policies and endless second chances for criminals put law-abiding citizens at risk. While liberals worry about criminals’ feelings, innocent people are dying.
Brown should have been locked up years ago after his first violent crime. Instead, the system kept giving him chance after chance to hurt people. This young woman paid the price for liberal justice policies with her life.
This is what happens when Democrats run cities and states into the ground. They care more about protecting criminals than protecting victims. Every day Americans suffer while politicians play games with public safety.
It is time to demand real consequences for violent criminals and an end to this madness. We must vote out every politician who puts criminals before victims. America deserves leaders who will protect innocent people, not coddle dangerous thugs.
