Iryna Zarutska’s murder exposes the left’s utter incoherence on crime
NY Post ^ | 9 Sep 2025 | Glenn H Reynolds

Posted on 09/09/2025 6:35:41 PM PDT by Rummyfan

In the last few days the horrific stabbing death of Iryna Zarutska by oft-arrested offender Decarlos Brown, Jr. on a Charlotte, NC, commuter train finally broke into the national conversation.

National media — aside from this newspaper — studiously ignored the heinous Aug. 22 attack, while Wikipedia’s editors did their best to airbrush it.

Why? Because they run interference for Democrats, and the story is political nitroglycerine.

Not only did this brutal murder of a white woman by a black man turn the Democrats’ racial narrative on its head, it underscored and boosted President Donald Trump’s messaging on urban crime.

Brown had 14 arrests, but turnkey judges and prosecutors kept letting him go until he committed a terrifying caught-on-video crime that’s impossible to explain away — or to weaponize against Republicans.

The left is very coherent on crime.

They want whitey dead—and support blacks who make it happen.

Once you accept the premise that everything the left says and does is aimed at creating chaos then everything they say and do makes sense.

It’s their grand strategy.

They don’t want to kill all whites they want to control all people and end all opposition.

That’s the grand goal.

The left isn’t “Incoherent” on crime..they know EXACTLY what they are doing..the progressive left looks at each crime that happens and says to themselves “Can we use this politically to trash the other side” in this case they cant, black perp, used a knife, career criminal, murders white woman, spews “I got that white girl” under his breath over and over, obvious hate crime..to the left, this girl had it coming, she’s white after all and “Privileged” meanwhile this black man is a victim of systemic racism, that is what the left preaches from the day they are born

The left doesnt care when blacks kill blacks on a daily basis either otherwise they would care about what is going on in Chicago. Everyday what, 5 blacks are killed at the hands of other blacks. Its ironic, the left always screams about Nazi’s and the KKK, meanwhile blacks in Chicago kill more blacks than the KKK could ever envision, they are doing the work for them

She'd already been mortally wounded in this photo. You can see the blood drops on her left knee. Her ballcap and glasses had been knocked off.

This animal was the last thing she ever saw.

The left doesn’t care who lives or dies.
The goal is all that matters and the goal is total domination of everyone and everything.

Also, the media is not talking about the veterinarian lady who stopped to walk her dog in a park and was killed by a black man who also stole her pickup truck. I think this was in Alabama.

Do Judges face any consequences for letting criminals go?

“The left doesn't care who lives or dies.”

Mostly true but they themselves want to live. And they want to get reelected.

I expect in the next 48 hours to see the most amazing thing: democrat leaders in the media declaring “violent crime must end right now.”

It will be a near total reversal except they will say it is not a reversal. They will say you should remember they have always been crime fighters and - get this - President Trump causes crime.

Across the United States blacks murder on average 60 whites each month.

Month after month, year after year ever since LBJ's Great Society programs and the massive crime waves that followed.

Most of these murders are "robberies gone bad" (because the black criminal decided to murder the compliant robbery victim) and simple recreational homicides, as was the case in Charlotte.

Few make the news. The Left considers these murders to be too inflammatory.

Things are starting to change on this front. Thanks to the increase in surveillance videos and social media platforms like X, people are starting to notice and the MSM that gatekept these stories under wraps can't do anything about it.

Not quite right.

They DO want to kill whites. They also want to control all people.

Respectfully, I somewhat doubt they will do that. And if they do it will be short lived.

They certainly won’t call for an end to soft-on-crime judges and prosecutors who repeatedly let these animals walk.

I agree.
And I don’t care what color Decarlos Brown is.
He needs to be stabbed in the neck, his carotid artery sliced and then he needs to bleed out while being forced to watch a video of Iryna Zarutska bleeding out.
And I don’t care what the democrats think about it.
They will never control Christians or Jews.

No. Judges have granted themselves absolute immunity from any sort of liability or accountability for their judicial acts. They can issue any sort of "ruling" or "decision" they want ... and there's no process for holding them accountable.

No OFFICIAL process, at least ...

Most of the leftists are white and they know full well that most of their meal tickets are paid by white taxpayers.
