A young Ukrainian woman who fled war only to find death on American streets. That’s the tragic story of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, who was brutally stabbed to death on a Charlotte train last month. She came to America seeking safety from the horrors of war, but liberal policies failed to protect her.
The shocking video shows Zarutska sitting peacefully on the train when killer Decarlos Brown suddenly attacked her with a knife. Brown stabbed her three times in the neck and body for no reason at all. She was wearing headphones and never even spoke to her attacker before he murdered her in cold blood.
Here’s what makes this even worse. Brown had been arrested fourteen times before this brutal killing. He served five years in prison for robbery and had a long rap sheet of violent crimes. Yet somehow this dangerous criminal was walking free on our streets, ready to strike again.
Liberal judges and prosecutors have blood on their hands for letting career criminals like Brown roam free. They care more about protecting criminals than innocent victims like Iryna. Their soft-on-crime policies turned our cities into hunting grounds for predators who should be locked up for good.
North Carolina’s Democrat governor finally spoke up, but only after the video went viral and Americans demanded action. He called for more cops on the beat, but that’s too little too late. We need judges who will keep dangerous criminals behind bars where they belong.
This Ukrainian refugee survived Russian bombs only to die because American liberals won’t protect law-abiding citizens. She was a talented artist who loved animals and helped her neighbors. Her family fled war to find the American Dream, not this nightmare of liberal crime policies.
We outnumber these criminals and the politicians who protect them. It’s time to elect tough prosecutors who will lock up repeat offenders for good. No more revolving door justice that puts killers back on our streets to claim more innocent lives.
American families deserve to feel safe on public transportation without fear of random attacks by career criminals. We must demand an end to this carnage before more innocent people pay the price for liberal weakness on crime.
