Democrats love Ukraine and they love refugees, yet they don’t seem terribly upset about the murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska.

Via Legal Insurrection:

Zarutska boarded the Charlotte (NC) Light Rail system on Friday, August 22nd, just before 10 pm after her shift at a local pizza restaurant, and four minutes later, she was stabbed to death in what police say was a random attack, allegedly by a violent repeat offender who is well known to local law enforcement.

No doubt he is also well known to the judges who keep letting him loose.

Video of the attack suggests why the liberal establishment media does not seem to find the story interesting.

The footage shows the suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., in the moments leading up to the murder, Zarutska boarding the train and sitting directly in front of him, completely oblivious, of course, to what was about to happen, and in the moments after, where he’s seen walking to a train exit with blood dripping, presumably from the knife.

One look at Brown and you will see that story does not advance preferred narratives.

At least local media was willing to cover it:

As with the Annunciation Catholic Church bloodbath, authorities rushed to defend the protected class of the murderer:

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles (D) … issued a statement, spending one whole sentence on the victim before spending several paragraphs talking about mental health and homelessness and how the homeless shouldn’t be stigmatized.

“We will never arrest our way out [of] issues such homelessness and mental health,” she wrote.

At least, not if authorities keep unleashing sociopaths on the public.

And for good measure, she added, “Also, those who are unhoused are more frequently the victim of crimes and not the perpetrators.”

Meanwhile, here’s how seriously the murder has been taken by the Charlotte City Council, where Democrats hold a 9–2 majority:
