Mayor Vi Lyles of Charlotte, North Carolina just issued the most vile, pathetic statement I’ve ever read in response to the gruesome murder of a young woman on a train in the city.
For some background, we reported on the full story of the demonic attack right here:
-snip
The murder was committed by a 34-year-old black, homeless ex-con named Decarlos Brown Jr.
In Mayor Lyles' statement, she all but took his side.
Not once did she mention the victim, a Ukrainian refugee who had fled the war, Iryna Zarutska, by name.
Instead, she focused on the poor murderer's mental state, talking at length about his struggle with mental illness and homelessness!
See for yourself:

She is as clueless as Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey, who made remarks after the equally senseless murder of two children attending a school mass that a local Catholic Bishop called asinine.
What did you expect?
She is not really a mayor but a tribal chieftain.
The loyalty to her tribe outweighs any duty to her elected office.
GoFundMe pulls horrific fundraisers for ex-con accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee on train
"The fundraising pages suggested Decarlos Brown Jr. — a career criminal with no fewer than 14 arrests — is just as much a victim as Iryna Zarutska, the woman seen being knifed dozens of times in a random attack."

Wonder if a GoFundMe account was set up for the victim.
Trump Addresses Train Stabbing Where Mayor Refused To Condem The Killer...Nothing but crickets from the ‘legacy’ media types

Trump is taking more interest in a story about the savage slaughter of a young woman than the entire media class was, which is odd, seeing how VERY interested they were in covering the Penny self-defense case. While obviously, any murder is a horrific injustice, we have different categories in our minds for an emotion al outburst that flares up into irreversible acts of violence, as opposed to the random selecting of an unsuspecting stranger for the purpose of unprovoked violence. Here is Trump being asked about a violent attack in August that the news has said little about. Elon has helped other right-of-center social media accounts bring attention to the story that did not rise to the level of being a national story like they did with the death of Jordan Neely, or the death of Saint George of Minnesota.
Iryna Zarutska escaped the war in Ukraine, seeking asylum here with family members, only to be murdered by a cowardly attack from behind in Charlotte, while riding a train.
A 23-year-old woman was stabbed to death on a Charlotte train over two weeks ago. Now, officials with the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) have released surveillance footage from the incident. On Friday, Aug. 22, Iryna Zarutska boarded the CATS Blue Line and sat in an aisle seat in front of Decarlos Brown. Video footage shows that she was wearing headphones, and the two had no interaction, according to ABC affiliate WSOC. The train was en route to the East/West Boulevard Station, and there were many passengers on board.
During the ride, Brown, unprovoked, pulled out a knife and stabbed Zarutska to death. After the attack, video shows Brown walking to the other end of the train and removing his hoodie. Several passengers rushed to help Zarutska. — ABC11 Local news covered the story, but it didn’t really break through to national attention. With Trump being asked about it, and promising to find out about it, that’s about to change.
The man charged with her murder has a criminal history, and it’s a sad reflection on where we are as a society that multiple Go Fund Me campaigns sprang up in his defense, whether authentic or scammers trying to profit off the story. Per their policy, they are being taken down. The mayor’s statement focused on the heartbreak of the loss of life, and consequences on the family. But offered nothing in the way of denouncing the person responsible for such a violent and unprovoked act.
The entire Democrat Party is an accessory to this murder.
Good Zero Hedge article on this topic:

I think all that $ would have gone into the pocket of whoever set up the GFM.
I bet he was hoping for another George Floyd.
As long as Democrats aka Demoncrats keep getting elected to positions of power by people too stupid to anything except vote for party this will only get worse.
The mayor’s claim that the mass transit system is safe is grotesquely irresponsible.
Naive folks like the victim fall for this propaganda.
Being gullible and lacking local knowledge should not be a death sentence.
You're right - but think how easy the two of them made it for us to identify them as evil...
Does anyone here actually know like I do the rate at which black males rape and or murder blonde white women
It’s disturbing
My own Girlfriend teaching Gainesville 35 years ago almost raped by black serial rapist murderer but for my Rottweilers who almost killed him
They ran his prints and he was implicated in 20 plus including murder by knife
He followed her home from UF to her house in country in which he targeted blonde white girls
So I’ve got personal with this
I always remember the blonde tv gal in Little Rock
Same thing
Trump addressing charlotte now
I’m not sure how far he goes with 30% black male vote
I guess this fixation is cover and a plethora of things that contribute to that some old stuff
And the encouragement of anti white racism by many leaders and media folks adds to it
If the person killed had been a career criminal - or a man who sexually mutilates children or a drug addicted whore monger the 'press' would have sent out their bimbos to cry and riot for the person...
Around 15 years ago a good friend was on the jury of a civil suit involving the mass transit system in ATL. Saw lots of evidence of violent crime in the system, both on trains and buses and in stations.
Will NOT use mass transit!
And the city planner / mass transit advocated types wonder why they can’t get ridership up.

Amen
What sort of statement is that? This crap on mass transit has been going on and has been known about for decades. Light rail systems in this country are pretty much mobile drug markets and homeless shelters. People from Europe wouldn’t know that since they are used to relatively safe systems there.
My granddaughter, who goes to college in CT. ,is starting internship in NYC today
She’s going to have to travel on the subway once she reaches Grand Central. She’s a tall blue eyed blonde and I’m a nervous wreck.
Left leaning brain just being what it is, Godless and confused.
A white woman was murdered in Auburn by a similar monster this weekend. It is becoming too commonplace.
