The suspected killer of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska should not have been free to walk the streets
A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words. You could replace this article with the photograph of Iryna Zarutska and her alleged killer: a Ukrainian refugee still in her work uniform reading her phone on the bus, and a hooded man rising from his seat on a train to swing a knife into her neck. You would get the essential dynamics: American cities are unsafe, with a criminal class left to run riot at the expense of the innocent people around them.
Then again, much of polite society across the West has dedicated itself to not noticing the patterns that keep unfolding across these horror stories. The “compassionate” thing to do is turn a blind eye, look elsewhere until the news cycle moves on, then continue to make the same mistakes until the next slaughter.
In a sane world, the suspect in the killing, Decarlos Brown Jr, would not have been free to walk the streets. Reports suggest Brown was homeless, had a long criminal record, including a prison sentence for robbery with a dangerous weapon, and a history of schizophrenia that had seen his own mother seek an involuntary commitment for him earlier this year. He had been arrested in January after calling 911 to tell the operator that people were trying to control him.
Regrettably, at this point, the “compassion” of the legal system raised its head.
