The murder of Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte’s light rail was not only a savage crime—it was the inevitable result of a national agenda of progressive “justice reform,” funded by outside NGOs and executed by local officials who put “equity” ahead of public safety.
Charlotte is just the latest example of how this machine works: money flows in, jails are emptied, and the public is left to pay the price.
As ZeroHedge aptly summarized,
It seems as if the very pillars the Democratic Party has built itself on, whether social and criminal justice reform, progressive judges, or its dark-money-funded NGO complex, all played a role in allowing serial criminals to roam the streets, endangering the public. Americans must avoid cities and towns where progressives enforce cashless bail and other woke policies, as these places are increasingly crime-ridden and unsafe.
That’s the backdrop. But as I noted in my earlier column, “Charlotte’s Crime Sanctuary: You Can’t Spell Violence Without Vi,” the county sheriff has already shown where his priorities lie—hosting dinners to “reduce stigma” around inmates and building music studios that showcased an accused killer.
What’s new, and what demands exposure, is how those misplaced priorities were funded and incentivized by outside money.
As Daily Wire’s Megan Basham noted on X:

Another factor in the death of Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte's light rail--the left-wing MacArthur Foundation giving Mecklenburg county a $3.3 million grant to reduce the jail population. Specifically as part of "racial equity aims.
Like Soros' Open Society, the MacArthur Foundation incentivizes local municipalities to make residents less safe by leaving threats like Decarlos Brown on the streets.

Capping taxation will crimp their power.
If tax revenues are capped, the country will need to be run better.
“Why the inclusion of the word and concept of ‘cangue’ to this thread?”
The cangue was a low-cost form of punishment.
The cangue would effectively deal with many miscreants and many legitimate objections of leftists.
Complaining alone will not improve American life.
Thanks for the info on The MacArthur Foundation. No surprises since PBS programming is regularly sponsored by them.
I don’t understand this picture. Is this supposed to be the girl that was on the train stabbed to death? if so, it does not depict her as she was on the train so why is it being used?
The Charlotte killer and the judge who released him both need a rubber hose treatment.

Thank you so much, grey_whiskers. No, I did not see the whole video - didn’t know there was one. I was puzzling over that picture; so glad you cleared it up for me. So, she saw her attacker - all I saw was him standing up behind her with his arm raised while she looked at her phone. That’s where the video stopped.
The full video was (can’t remember now after Charlie Kirk’s murder) either 7 min 30 sec or 12 min 30 sec.
How much did you see?
THIS is why you NEVER NO MATTER WHAT trust the main stream press.
EVER.
