North Carolina Republicans are blaming Democrats' "woke" policies and lenient crime enforcement for the fatal stabbing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte, North Carolina, light-rail train. Meanwhile, former Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, is firing back, accusing Republicans of politicizing a tragedy.
Republican leaders in Charlotte held a joint news conference on Wednesday during which they condemned Democratic leaders' "woke" policies and "ongoing failures" that they say contributed to Zarutska's tragic death last month. Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested on Aug. 22 after police say he stabbed Zarutska three times while riding the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte, according to an affidavit obtained by ABC News.
"Iryna Zaruska died because of the Democrat policies in Charlotte-Mecklenburg," said Kyle Kirby, chairman of the Mecklenburg County Republican Party, who called them "woke" policies -- including cashless bail. North Carolina does not have a cashless bail system; judges and magistrates may release a defendant on a written promise in some cases, or require a secured bond under state law.
Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party Jason Simmons claimed that "Democrats have chosen to side with criminals" -- contributing to a "crime epidemic." Simmons, without giving any specifics, listed Democrats' "policies of appeasement" and their "weak on crime policies" as reasons leading to criminal activity in Charlotte and the country.

Charlotte needs to clean out this nest of vipers and spray for any cockroaches left in the cracks.
He is right.
I think this may be Roy Cooper’s Willie Horton moment.
“former Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, is firing back, accusing Republicans of politicizing a tragedy”
Well yea! That’s what Democrats do after every school shooting. Tough nuggies if exploiting the BLM crime wave works to undermine rats.
It was a combination of woke and corruption.
How many DemonRATS from the Party of Doom, Destruction and Death believe Iryna Zarutska “deserve” what happened to her by one of their subhumans whipped into a frenzy by DemonRAT politicians like the Squawds, Skyhook Hakeem, Pramila Gorilla, My Little Pony Crockette, and so on.
But to watch the murder video, one sees that Iryna is just a plain ordinary girl, no glam, wearing her work "pizza parlor" outfit. She's tired from work, and she's not interacting with anyone, checking messages on her phone. Megyn Kelly refers to her as a "waif"; that is the best description.
The look of horror and disbelief overtakes Iryna's face when she realizes the monstrous rabid Negro is attacking her, and murdering her. She is as helpless as a chipmunk being attacked by a vicious rabid jackal.
You empty-suit, cookie-cutter, generic politician.
Begin media and gaslighting campaigns of "we can't jail our way out of crime")
Bring city and county courts to a grinding halt. Prosecute your problems just enough to keep everyone on payrolls, yet court cases at about 10% of normal caseload.
Move metrics of crime reporting to the output of the DA prosecutions. Plea everything down to misdemeanors. Don't respond to 911 calls. Don't respond to gunfire (shot triangulation technology), don't respond to retail theft, burglary, or enforce traffic laws. Any stop or chase requires verbal approval by the station commanders, (which will not be given)
Use the media to tell the public things have never been better, and it's a "perception problem" of your own ignorance)
The “long march through the institutions” means changing society gradually from within by influencing culture and institutions.
Yeah. What you said. I over-explained it.
Yep. Trump is planning on hosting the midterm convention at this time next year. I think it’s necessary because of what’s at stake.
NO MORE GASLIGHTING.
NO MORE SURRENDER.
HEY COOPER YOU STUPID CHEESE EATING SURRENDER MONKEY, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THIS?
Uh, yeah. Rightfully so. If they didn’t, it would positively confirm the uniparty.
This. Very astute observation. BLM supporters would have you believe that all you have to do is keep to yourself and blacks will leave you alone. Nope, not so. They might push you off a train station platform onto tracks, run up behind you and sucker punch you, or knock down little old white ladies and steal their purse. Not a fair fight, just pure evil inflicted by a monstrous black guy twice the size of an innocent young girl minding her own business. BLM group needs to die.
