More personal details are being shared about the woman who was stabbed to death in an apparently random attack on a light-rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina.

-snip-

While living in the Charlotte area, Ferguson said the college graduate worked at a pizza restaurant, took care of animals, helped at a senior citizen center and rode that same train often.

“The first day she was allowed to work, she got a work permit here, she got a job the very first day,” Ferguson described.

According to Barnacle, the Ukrainian embassy offered to help bring Zarutska’s body back to the European country, but her mother and uncle said she will remain in the U.S.

“She loved America. We’re going to bury her here,” the family told Barnacle

She died because she was white and he wanted to kill a white girl.

She obviously isn’t a BLM supporter anymore

And it’s now obvious being a BLM supporter is good for no one but the grifters.

Yep

Ferguson said the college graduate worked at a pizza restaurant, took care of animals, helped at a senior citizen center.

She cared a lot for many sometimes being big hearted is a danger warning if not careful about yourself.

Europeans are fed a steady stream of propaganda of how the US oppresses black people. To her own great cost she found out just how false that is.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

Glad this has gone viral to bring attention to rampant black-on-White crime that the media insist on covering up - while amplifying any White crime.

Donald Trump has called for the death penalty in this case. Execution should happen immediatly.

So sorry this happened:

We saw the BLM poster in her room in the photo yesterday.

Probably fake news, others have noted that her accounts show pictures of her bedroom and it's not the same as the bedroom in the BLM photo.

She was pretty, and seemed a good soul. RIP Iryna 😔I’m hearing how the murderer was mentally ill possibly schizophrenic. I don’t buy it. He may have had mental health issues, but he realized what he did as he walked away and got the heck out of there right after.

You can be sure the defense team will use the excuses of mentally ill, schizophrenic, bad home life, bad childhood, racism and anything else they can throw against the wall to get him a light sentence.

The killer muttered "I got that White Girl" as he casually walked away.

He knew exactly what he was doing, to whom and why.

I thought the rape and murder of Jocelyn Nungary would stigmatize the DemoKKKrat party with their support of illegals.

I thought that CDL truck driver killing 3 people in Florida (with a CDL from either California or Washington state), would stigmatize the DemoKKKrat party.

I thought the TRUTH would win, but it never seems to.

Killings by crazies were rare before the 1970s. I can find three between 1949 and 1970.
Then the mental hospitals were closed down and the crazies dumped on the streets. Killings by crazies took off like a rocket.
ALL CRAZIES allowed to roam the streets...
Mark David Chapman who murdered John Lennon
John Hinckley Jr. who shot President Reagan
Robert John Bardo who shot Rebecca Schaeffer
David Berkowitz, the .44 Cailber Killer.
Jared Laugher who shot Gabby Giffords.

Pat Purdy, released from a mental hospital, allowed to buy guns, then shot up the Stockton School Yard.

Patrick Sherrill who shot up the Edmond Post office.
James Oliver Huberty who shot so many at MacDonalds
This is just a SHORT LIST t of people who were crazy enough who would have been in a mental hospital before they were closed down in the 1970s.
When you add the MASS MURDERERS and CHURCH and SCHOOL SHOOTERS who would have been shown to be insane but allowed to roam freely you will begin to understand why it is...
LONG PAST TIME TO REOPEN THE MENTAL WARDS AGAIN!

Now we can add the name Decarlos Brown Jr. Another crazy allowed to walk the streets. His daddy, Sr also has a rap sheet a mile long.

And even if it isn’t, it has nothing to do with what happened.

Everyone is so eager to talk and report about this story and we get nothing but contradictions.

The girl came here with her family....she didn’t come here with her family...which was it?

Who said that they couldn’t attend the girl’s funeral? The article is guessing just like everyone else is...

Who knows the truth? Mike Gallagher on the radio this a.m., didn’t have any more information than anyone else but that doesn’t stop them from babbling all day every day.
