[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”]
The Democrat Party has finally found a Ukrainian refugee they don’t care anything about.
By now, everyone who has an X account – as opposed to people who depend on network television propaganda for their news – has seen either the stomach-churning video footage or the terrifying still shots of the savage murder of a 23-year-old Ukrainian on a Charlotte, North Carolina light rail line by a career criminal.
The vicious, unprovoked stabbing of Iryna Zarutska actually occurred on August 22, 2025, but the rail car surveillance footage became available only a couple of days ago, igniting righteous fury across the nation – except among Democrat leaders and media elites, who predictably ignored the controversy entirely. I say “predictably” because the barbarian who stabbed the distracted Zarutska three times in the neck with a folding knife, and then left her to die as he walked away, is a 34-year-old black male, DeCarlos Brown Jr., who had a whopping rap sheet of 14 prior arrests.
Fourteen. How many times must a black male be arrested before progressive judges, prosecutors, police chiefs, and mayors are willing to deem him a threat to society? This toxic empathy for criminal elements has become a concern of the most serious order in America today. In this instance – and there are many others – the protection by progressive authorities of a member of their designated victimhood groups ended in one of the most brutal, senseless crimes on video, and everyone who has Iryna Zarutska’s blood on their hands for facilitating Brown’s destructive trail must be held accountable.
What the Left-wing media refuse to address is that the video footage shows Brown subsequently bragging in racial terms about his victim: “I got that white girl.” The Left can’t address this ugly reality because it demolishes multiple Democrat Narratives – that white supremacy is the nation’s greatest domestic threat, violent crime isn’t a serious issue in America, only whites commit hate crimes, the jails should be emptied and police defunded, etc.
And so they can only safely address it in terms of the Right’s response to the crime. Hence the Left-wing media, once they could no longer avoid reporting on the murder, fell back on the tried-and-true diversionary tactic of accusing Republicans of “pouncing,” in which they dismiss an inconvenient truth by blaming conservatives for making a big deal out of nothing. Axios, for example, grudgingly posted about the shocking crime with this headline: “Stabbing video fuels MAGA’s crime message.” Even CNN’s Van Jones, who on rare occasions has the independence of mind to critique his own party, claimed on a CNN panel that there was no evidence that Zarutska was attacked because she was white. “For Charlie Kirk to say, we know he did it because she’s white, when there’s no evidence of that. It’s just pure race mongering, hate mongering. It’s wrong.” Needless to say, for CNN propagandists to accuse anyone of race-mongering is the height of hypocrisy.
The crime and the Left’s willful blindness about it and about the elephant-in-the-room epidemic of black male violence even compelled President Donald Trump to weigh in, making a video address in which he rightly condemned Democrat pro-crime policies like catch-and-release and observed, “For far too long, Americans have been forced to put up with Democrat-run cities that set loose bloodthirsty, savage criminals that prey on innocent people.” He vowed to “Make America Safe Again.”
Imagine for a moment if the races in this incident had been reversed. Actually, you don’t have to imagine it. The instances in which blacks have been perceived to be victims of white “perpetrators” are legion: Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and George Floyd, to name just the most well-known, and what was the Left’s response each time? Explosive, nationwide outrage from race-mongering Democrat leaders and media hacks who exploited those deaths to sow chaos and fear, racial resentment and division, rioting and looting, the destruction of inner cities across the country and the extortion of corporate America.
When white male Daniel Penny restrained mentally unstable black male Jordan Neely, another career criminal, who was threatening fellow train passengers, Penny potentially prevented the sort of death Iryna Zarutska suffered. When Neely subsequently died from a combination of factors including synthetic marijuana use, the Left called for Penny’s head, claiming Neely was murdered because he was black.
Every American who isn’t wearing ideological blinders can see that DeCarlos Brown Jr. is an inveterate threat to public safety who should have been removed from the streets long before he accumulated 14 arrests, and that he viciously and intentionally murdered a white woman at least partially, if not entirely, out of racial animosity – by his own confession. Where are the Democrat leaders and media elites calling for his head?

If Trayvon Martin had minded his own business and taken his Skittles and bottle of Arizona fruit punch back to has dad’s house and gotten high like he intended to do…
If Michael Brown had not decided to rob a convenience store and then show his ass and walk in the middle of the street…
If George Floyd had simply ingested enough drugs to kill a billy goat and had the courtesy to die in a dark alley…
Free Derek Michael Chauvin, for a start. He has served enough time for a crime he did not commit. and that dd not occur. All of them really. Tou Thaois still in prison, set to be released on November 3rd, 2025. Thomas Lane was released this August and J. Alexander Kueng in January of this year. Their convictions stain The American Justice system and should somehow be reversed. We owe “Woke” nothing.

” everyone who has Iryna Zarutska’s blood on their hands for facilitating Brown’s destructive trail must be
held accountable.” This is the most serious and important message in this article! None of this would have
happened if all the people involved in his previous 14 chances with the law did their job-NONE OF THIS
WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!! Wanna bet crickets will be singing as an answer!!!!!!!
This Murder should be reason the Murderer should face The Death Sentence and without Jessie Jackson sticking his fat nose in
Too late. Jackson already shoved nose into the tent.
Yes, and it’s high time we cut it off. But that would be rayciss…
Martin Mull nailed it in song 🎵 49 years ago …
From the very beginning we ALL knew “hate-crimes” legislation was pointed in solely one direction.
Example:
When lackluster Bush43 was governor, he was cowed into signing hate crimes legislation for Texas when a “white supremacist” spray painted a swastika on a black church.
Problem was it was a hoax (one among 1000s.) It wasn’t an evil white guy; it was a black youth.
He wasn’t prosecuted for the incident that demanded Bush43 sign that legislation, as his skin color wasn’t the targeted demographic.
I’ll wager anyone stupid enough to take the bet & give 10 to 1 odds . . . that this monster won’t be facing any hate-crimes prosecution.
Any takers?
He will not be prosecuted at all, most likely. He has schizophrenia and cannot form the requisite mental state (intent) to be prosecuted successfully. If he is committed to an institution, he will be put on meds that will greatly improve his symptoms, and reach the point of release back into society (“no longer a danger to himself or others.”)
The golden key for criminals is “I was crazy at the time of the offense, but I am just fine now.”
People with severe psychosis are notoriously non-compliant with their medications. They feel better and are released from psychiatric care / hospitalization. Once out, they see no benefit to their pills.
The few people who DO comply with their meds do so because they have enough intelligence to grasp a salient abstract thought — the meds are necessary to maintain good function, freedom and safety. Some demographics have an average IQ below the threshold of abstract thought (85) and belong to a community unlikely to help them maintain function. The only answer is lifetime institutionalization, but the law requires the “least restrictive environment” and meds restore enough function to mandate release.
His mother begged for help. Perhaps she or some other family member could be appointed his guardian after a declaration of non compos mentis. Then the chances of permanent institutionalization would be better.
How do we live together? Even though he was obviously insane, he could still articulate the white hatred many of his community have towards whites — the same hatred they routinely teach their children. Not all, but it seems perhaps a majority have anti-white animus.
The worst part of the video is to me the moments AFTER the stabbing. No less than 5 black people, adjacent to and behind her, witness the attacks upon her. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM, and no other person on the train, tries to help or comfort her as she spends her last moments, in shock, still sitting in her seat, bleeding out. Instead, the video shows three of the blacks nearest her, who observed the stabbing, getting up and walking away from her, following her killer to another part of the car.
We just cannot live together.
I’m afraid you may be right.
I was also disturbed at the obtuse reactions from the bystanders.
[Q] Had any intervened, would they have gotten the Daniel Penny treatment from the A.G.?
[A] Only if white
I wonder if he really was crazy? No proof has been presented that I know of. Black murderers are often portrayed as crazy or retarded by left-wing scum to protect them from accountability. Many psychiatrists and psychologists are utterly dishonest, dishonorable and employed by lawyers, groups, et Al to provide a handy excuse for a vicious murderer. I’m going to need more than unsubstantiated reports to believe he’s schizophrenic. He may well have been but I want proof.
Good comment by you, as usual.
I know he had a schizophrenia diagnosis, and he had recently called 911 to say the government-installed materials in his body were making him do bad things (classic paranoid schizophrenia).
Mental illness is a defense, but it must be proved by the defendant. The government must show he had enough function to know what he was doing (stabbing her) and intended to do it. His spontaneous assertions are very damning. You can hear him twice on the video exclaim triumphantly, “I got that white girl.”
The classic law school case teaching this concept involved man who choked his wife to death, but evaded conviction by asserting a mental illness defense. He thought he was squeezing lemons when he choked his wife, and intended to make lemonade.
Yes, both those instances were reported by the real news networks. The unsubstantiated and faceless schizophrenia diagnosis doesn’t mean shit to me and it’s also a classic case of tweakers high on meth to say things like he did to 911. They talk to people who aren’t there and also have weird conversations with themselves in public
I had a chick here last night who said “i’m not a prostitute” and something else I didn’t catch. She wasn’t looking at me. I asked her who she was talking to (I had thought it was me) and she answered “my boyfriend,” so I knew she was tweaking on meth. She’s not an addict but she uses that poison. She did put her manic energy to good use and cleaned my bathtub, though.
And the murderer of of Iryne did exclaim triumphantly “I got that white girl” so he knew what he had done. I don’t believe for a second a voice told him to do it.
And you told us that his brother murdered a white man and his father is a felon. He’s obviously a member of a depraved criminals family.
If justice is going to be served, he needs to be tested by a competent and honest psychiatrist. He’s obviously to stupid to deceive one. And I don’t think being crazy would excuse what he did. He needs to be executed.
Just saying.
You can assume everyone from cellmates to the public defenders assigned to his previous cases has coached him on how to beat the rap by faking insanity.
Exactly. If he really is nuts, let a competent and honest psychiatrist examine him. and prove it. I’m extremely skeptical.
get rid of all hate crime legislation!
ENFORCE ALL LAWS ON THE BOOKS!
A black career monster with 14 prior arrests for violent crimes, burglaries and other anti-social behavior, has a juvenile arrest record, was constantly released because of Dirtbagocrat pro-crime policies and laws, savagely stabs to death a beautiful young Ukranian refugee in public and on video for no reason other than she’s a pretty WHITE blonde and then boasts that he killed a WHITE girl is only a problem to the D-Bags because it doesn’t fit their false narratives about fictional white supremacy and fictional black victim hood – and the murderer didn’t use a gun. They’re only mad because they can’t possibly spin this news to their advantage, although that hasn’t stopped the vermin from trying.They managed to hide the news for 17 days but it came out thanks to somebody unknown with a conscience who released the video records from the light rail. Are Charlotte Mayor, Vile Lyles, and the Dirtbagocrat fake news media contrite in any way? Is the Dirtbagocrat party? No they’re publicly angry that the news they tried to conceal came out and it contradicts at least six of their false and anti-American narratives. They aren’t angry at all about the horrific crime itself or the monster who committed it.
Who did they blame? President Trump, MAGA and Republicans. Reflexively, at this point in time. They sure can’t blame guns this time and that infuriates them. Good luck with blaming anybody but yourselves and the black monster you enabled, you subhuman D-Bag trash. It’s only been two days so the backlash has only just begun. Where are your Ukranian flags now that for the first time they would be appropriate? The Ukraine is just spiffy as a priggish propaganda symbol but black males should be able to murder as many Ukranian refugees as they want, eh?
D-Bags are scum
Black Privilege is a very real thing. And you can bet the other blacks in the car weren’t just trying not to get involved but deep down were fist pumping and cheering. So were Demoncrats. They even set up a GoFundMe for this monster and the mayor declared that HE was the real victim.
So sad and tragic that that young Ukrainian would have been safer if she’d stayed in Ukraine instead of coming to an American blue city.
You’re so right. There was a black male – I write male because he isn’t a man – who was sitting behind her who got up and walked away after he saw that black monster stab Iryna Zarutska 3 times and she was in her seat in shock and dying, probably from blood loss. A black female sitting next to her looked at Iryna dying and got up and walked away. NOBODY who saw the stabbing tried to help her, particularly the black witnesses who callously abandoned her out of what was clearly anti-white hatred, which is common among gutter blacks. You can bet any decent black person would’ve tried to help her. Nobody who sat behind her tried to staunch the flow of blood.
The two groids who got up and walked away to deserve to be stabbed to death, in my opinion. In addition to being stabbed to death, Iryna had the misfortune to sit near two anti white black bigots instead of normal black people.
I don’t like racial bigots but I especially dislike the black ones because they’re such ingrates.They know whites founded and overwhelmingly built America and are perfectly willing to benefit from it but hate whitey. They’re scum, just like the D-Bag lefties, who’re mostly white.
Communism needs division and skin colour provides it.
Blacks will eventually be extinct in America with the greatest number of black babies being aborted and the killing of each other in the streets of American cities it’s bound to happen.
So let’s allow the slaughter of these people by their own hand and let nature take its course.
LIkewise ALL Leftists. Abortion is overwhelmingly practiced by Leftists. How many conservative families would allow one of their children to even BREATHE that they think they might want to change their sex? It’s an overwhelmingly Leftist activity. Add that the far-Left Canadian government is making it easier for people to euthanize themselves if they have a bad day at work or a hangover.
“Let all the evils that lurk in the mud hatch out.” Conservatives need to step back, stop trying to help or change Leftist minds. Just keep your head on a swivel, arm yourselves and be vigilant. The Radical Left is in the midst of engineering their own extinction.
Being from Ukraine Iryna Zarutska probably didn’t have the “bruthah awareness gene”. Not exactly a lot of them in Ukraine. There should be a course in what not to do in an America city.
No 1: Be aware of your surroundings.
No.2: If you see one coming in your direction, cross the street.
No 3: Don’t sit near one of the bruthahs on public transportation.
No 4: Avoid conversation with a bruthah. They are not your friend.
No 5: If possible walk with a friend. Head on a swivel. Save your life.
No.6: Get a knife or a gun if possible.
Bear spray and a non lethal gun, both of which will put assailants down.
Our society needs more vigilantes – good persons exterminating the scum who attack them. It’s a controversial subject, however. One only has to watch the movies The Brave One, Death Wish (the most recent one especially) and others in that category to see that our justice system is broken. In what insane universe is a 14-conviction criminal released back on the streets?
I agree. And I saw the Charles Bronson and Bruce Willis versions of “Death Wish.” Good movies. I’ll Have to look up “The Brave One.”
TRUMP and congress must return the 2ND AMENDMENT to the AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Good Samaritan laws need to be restored so that individuals taking good faith actions to stop criminals or help victims cannot be prosecuted or sued for damages.
Yes, and much more good Samaritans stop crimes than police do. Much more. The police can’t be everywhere at once but nobody is alone in public.
I lived and worked in Charlotte for 15 years and still have friends there. A relative kept my wife and I informed of the rising crime rate. Places we used to frequent had become off limits due to the crime.
Charlotte was a nice place to live. What a Shame!
Crime was guaranteed to increase when Dirtbagocrat authorities deliberately enabled it, as you know.
Like everything else, the Left hates the truth. It interferes with their twisted ideology.
What happened to this young innocent woman, Iryna Zarutska is even worse the tragic. She was minding her own business, not bothering anyone. When that vicious criminal thug came up be hide her and without warning maliciously murdered her, in cold blood.
To make matters even worse, the leftist in power in the city said that they “Aren’t sure of his motive.”
Those be in strong politically correct or deliberately to hide the truth from the public, because after that hooligan murdered her, he bragged out, with demonic glee loud “I just killed a White girl.”
That murderer from his own, wicked, mouth made it clear what his motivation was. It was a racially motivated. Therefore, he be changed with a race hate crime. In addition to murder charges.
Nevertheless it’s very unlikely that hate crime charges be be filled against him because the diabolical politically correct philosophy has terribly infected the legal system and likewise the US courts.
The reader may be sure that if a White thug murdered a Black woman, hate crime charges would certainly be filed against his in addition to murder charges. As they should be
The point is that PC corrupted law system is unfair unjust and wrong. The have genuine race equality. Not double standards.
In addition, the left- wing new media would, with doubt widely publicize a murder if it was a White who murder a Black, yet since this was Black murderous a White person it will not be well publicized.
It a White thug murder a Black woman would the leftist media widely publicize that deadly incident but also their would be many Black race riots in different cities across the United States,.
And what if 1 out of every 20 white men were convicted murderers (as is true with black men)?
And what if your proposed white thug had a brother who also committed inter-racial murder? Decarlos’ brother, Stacey Dejon Brown murdered a white man, Robert Heym, in 2012.
And what if your white thug’s father was also incarcerated for violent crime (like Decarlos, Sr.)?
Why am I not surprised? What a dead end gene pool.
Perhaps the use of subhumans should make a comeback in describing these race-hating mongrels.
Works for me because animals don’t commit the atrocities they do. Decarlos Brown is as bad as the Psuedostinians.
Psuedostinians – Thanks, I’m going to use that.
The Left thinks he is the reincarnation of Bob Marley.
The horror of the released video is not one man or woman got up to restrain the murderer when they saw him slashing poor Iryna Zarutska! It took minutes for anyone to come to her aid and no one restrained the vile satanic murderer.
I’m telling you, these f’ing smartphones cause deadly accidents and we tune out.. We are unaware of our surroundings and people near us.
People don’t talk out of shoot, I’m sitting here, I’m bored on this train, in this waiting room, in this checkout line – start up a conversation – which sharpens our intuition and makes us aware of our surroundings!
The media has been spinning racism since I first noticed in 2014. The media is fomenting racism decades after Civil Rights marches successes in legislation and the Supreme Court. There is a reason and formula for pitting race against race. It’s all part of divide and conquer. It’s the deep state owned main sleaze fake news media with 8×10 glossies reading the teleprompter. Not journalists!
The demoncRats appointed judges and in this case, the magistrate who was not even ever a lawyer, let this career criminal cold blooded schizophrenic murderer out with the promise he will be good and case after case is ghastly.
I hope the magistrate who let this murderer go free will be held accountable and all these similar woke joke judges fired.
And who are the dummies here? People who fall for this race v race pitting manipulations and paint an entire race evil for one lunatic’s acts.
This I wager, when we average, decent, trying to get along eternal beings in our human body get to Paradise after our human body quits on us, one of the first things we see are the Co-Creators who look like us because they made us to look like them by orders of YHVH GOD ALMIGHTY Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
God said: “Let us” – who was YHVH talking to? Must have been the co-creators.
We look like them because they made us in their image.
There can be no genocide to get rid of any race!
We have to get above the rum-dumb level of where public school and commie indoctrination of higher education numbskulls keep us dumb down to moronic mindsets.
Black racism is the main racism problem in America.
We need knife control (rolls eyes)!
He shud’ve at least asked.her out on a date first. She may have said yes….
That’s in poor taste, to say the least.
Public lynching of the sack o’ sh*t who murdered that poor girl and public lynching of the judge who gave the sack o’sh*t a pass to murder.
NOTHING ELSE WILL DO. PAM BONDI, STOP BEING “EYE CANDY” AND DO YOUR JOB. SACK O’SH*T AND JUDGE DESERVE A PUBLIC LYNCH FOR WHAT THEY DID.
Every single politician, judge , magistrate who supported the policies that ended in the slaughter of this poor girl in Charlotte will see no consequences and will likely all be re-elected by the citizens of Charlotte.
Charlotte Mayor, Vile Lyles, won the D-Bag primary on Tuesday, just a day after news of Iryna’s brutal and senseless murder by one of the usual suspects went public so you may end up being right. Obviously, the D-Bags of Charlotte are the scum of the Earth, as they are wherever they creep, crawl and slither.
I’m so sick and tired of those subhuman D-Bags.
This attack wouldn’t have been ignored by the Dem propaganda media if the races were reversed. It would be on the news 24/7, cities would be burning, Dems would be kneeling and erecting statues to the decedent. Instead they are erecting GoFund Me pages for this monster. Since before Obama Dems have been inciting and demagoguing hatred of blacks and Hispanics (Bipocs) against whites. This is what you get.
It is time now that the Democrat party be declared a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
Mark, A very good piece save one thing. Why didn’t you name that black DEI magistrate judge who let the mongrel out?
That repulsive lardy pseudo-judge harpy, Judge Teresa Stokes, needs to be impeached, disbarred & indicted!
Have just learned on the French Le Figaro that she worked in a pizzeria (not on welfare), always smiling, friendly, learned E quickly. An accomplished & generous artist. Wanted to become a veterinary assistant. Her life snuffed out by that barbaric creep.
It seems she’s been here 2-3 years w/ her family. Alas, she had no street smarts, oblivious of her surroundings, sitting in front of that thug & gawking into the display. Paid dearly for her ignorance.
However, the main culprit is the DEI faux-judge & most likely Soros DA who released this beast 14X.
Maybe he’ll be released without bail.
He’s being held without, not because the authorities in Charlotte want to do the right thing but because the eyes of the nation are on them, and that includes President Trump.
If a White thug murdered a Black woman would the leftist media widely publicize that deadly incident and also there would be many Black race riots in different cities across the United States.
This kind of Murder should make him eligible for the Death sentence without Jessie Jackson getting Involved
