23-year old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was murdered on a Charlotte, North Carolina subway while passengers watched and failed to come to her aid. Decarlos Brown, 34, can be seen in the now-viral video striking Zarutska in the neck with a knife. She bled out while no one around her helped her.
Brown has a history of violent crime and mental illness, but an alleged DEI judge, Teresa Stokes, let him walk 42 times, with the last time being in January of this year. The judge is now under investigation. The actions by the judge echo a leftist theme where criminals are viewed as righteous crusaders punishing the evil Americans.

Excerpt:
Charlotte’s Democrat Mayor Vi Lyles is facing mounting backlash after her response to the brutal killing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Blue Line light rail train.
Instead of squarely condemning the attacker, Lyles initially defended the killer by pivoting to speculating about his “mental health struggles.”
“This is a tragic situation that sheds light on problems with society’s safety nets related to mental health care and the systems that should be in place,” Lyles said in a statement sent to WCNC Charlotte.
“While I do not know the specifics of the man’s medical record, what I have come to understand is that he has long struggled with mental health and appears to have suffered a crisis.
“This was the unfortunate and tragic outcome.”
The suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, has a lengthy criminal record spanning more than a decade, including robbery with a dangerous weapon, larceny, and breaking and entering.
