Let’s not be too hard on Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles. She isn’t the only one who thinks Decarlos Brown is the real victim of his decision to stab to death 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska. Moonbats have even put up GoFundMe pages to help him out:

GoFundMe has yanked sickening online fundraisers for the maniac accused of murdering a Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train after the legal defense funds sparked widespread outrage.

Turns out you don’t have to be a patriot defending businesses and then your own life from rioters to get your GoFundMe support pulled. Being formally charged with a violent crime will do the job, provided people raise a stink.

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.

Yelped one GoFundMe page:

“Decarlos Brown Jr. was failed categorically by the judicial system and the mental health services of North Carolina, and as such is not entirely to blame for what happened.”

True enough, the liberal authorities responsible for him being allowed to run around loose are also to blame and should be held accountable.

This is a bigger issue than coming to the rescue of the put-upon Brown:

“Raising money to assist with legal fees for Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. Anything helps fight against the racism and bias against our people. Thank you for giving us a hand to push against this corrupt narrative,” another fundraiser spewed.

The “corrupt narrative” is opposite to the one the mainstream media no doubt hoped to avoid undermining by ignoring the story.
