Everything We Know So Far About the Murder of Iryna Zarutska
Rolling Stone ^ | 9/8/25 | Miles Klee

Posted on 09/09/2025 2:57:02 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Horrific video of the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee’s death in an apparently random stabbing has become a flashpoint in the debate over crime in U.S. cities.

The shocking and apparently random fatal stabbing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Aug. 22 has inflamed already furious debates over race and crime in U.S. cities. This uproar comes at a particularly perilous moment, with the Trump administration widening its National Guard deployments across the nation and the Supreme Court lifting restrictions that would prevent ICE agents from profiling people based on their ethnicity or what language they speak.

A confluence of factors have turned Zarutska’s death into a flashpoint. The suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, is a Black man with an extensive criminal record and a diagnosed mental illness. The killing took place on public transit in a major urban center, and was recorded by a security camera. Zarutska was the kind of young white blonde woman the political right tend to present as the typical and ultimate victim of unprovoked street violence, not to mention a survivor of Russia‘s war on her homeland. What’s more, national media didn’t immediately cover the story, in part because the horrific surveillance footage was not released until Sept. 5, at which point it quickly went viral on social media. Now outraged viewers are attacking the press for supposedly attempting to bury the story and using the video to push extremist views and propaganda.

>> Decarlos Brown, is a Black man... Zarutska was [a] young white blonde woman

And in that capitalization (or not!) of race, FRiends, is all you need to know about the climate of black on white racism that has taken hold pretty much anywhere blakkks abound.

‘Random’? So screaming “I got that White girl” is not targeted?

Rolling Stone is a filthy piece of trash. Nothing it prints is worth spit.

“apparently random stabbing”, they lied.

We have a video clip of Brown walking away and he says twice “I got that white girl”

His motive was racial.

There is now additional footage shown of her acting shocked at the attack, then rolling over dead. All others on the train were black people who moved away, but did NOTHING to help.

And the Liberal can’t figure out why people prefer to drive than take a train, trolley bus or tram.

San Francisco will not release video tapes of attacks on their system lest it make people “racist”.

Notice that according to the Rolling Stone the vicious premeditated murder was not extreme...

but those who dare discuss it are extremists.

In this case it is probably good to expose Rolling Stone’s blatant anti-white hate and support for black criminals who kill white people.

According to the black mayor the mass transit system is “safe and effective”.

He wants more gullible and innocent white people murdered.

Give it a rest.

The fact that he's writing the article indicates that this is a case which draws everyone's attention, whether they want to admit it or not.

And you know, everyone is still free to publicize the black victims of black crime. So the ball's in your court for that, Miles Klee.
