We weren’t supposed to be talking about this, especially since crime is one of the Democrats’ weakest issues. To the shock of no one, normal voters don’t like giving murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals a slap on the wrist. They don’t care about the pseudointellectual arguments against policing and jails—all of which inevitably come back to a ‘white people…bad’ theme. With the recent brutal murder in Charlotte, North Carolina, the legacy press seems more irritated that we did their jobs for them than with the actual event, which was a brutal murder.
This crime occurred on August 22, by the way. Iryna Zarutska, 23, a Ukrainian refugee, is stabbed to death by Decarlos Brown Jr, 34, a man with 14 prior arrests, who is caught on camera on public transit killing Zarutska, shaking the blood of his knife afterward. You can see the blood all over the floor of the bus. The attacker wasn’t held accountable for years, thanks to Roy Cooper’s soft-on-crime antics. Cooper, the former Democratic governor of North Carolina, recently decided to run for the US Senate next year. This issue could be a problem in a state Democrats must win to retake the upper chamber, and his involvement in this atrocity will remain an issue throughout the upcoming campaign.
Democrats know it—it’s why Cooper’s campaign waited days before responding to the end of a Politico article that tried to blame us for reporting on it. Sorry, those of us not in legacy media ecosystems like to write about things that actually happen. The irritation from these clowns is two-fold: we did their jobs, and it was about a story that would make Democrats look bad.
Wait. That woman in Charlottesville was murdered two weeks ago?

No wonder the journos are so upset. The story was supposed to have disappeared by now.
a woman is savagely murdered, and this ghoul directs his ire not on the murderous devil, but social media posts. you couldn't create a more repellent person. it's as if CNN is committing suicide, collectively, before our eyes. https://t.co/xvCjNDIhD2

Maybe if you lock up bad people and quit thinking of violent thugs as trainable puppies, these are people with rabies and must be treated as such, vis-à-vis keeping them away from law-abiding citizenry.
Notice how the National Guard deployments in Washington, DC, and the proposed deployments to Chicago and Baltimore haven’t elicited the reactions liberals want? Residents in all these urban areas support increased policing and resources to restore order. The protest in DC over the weekend was fraught with people who don’t like in DC—it’s all whack job libs from the Northern Virginia suburbs. It’s peak insanity: take the metro or Uber across the river to protest for more crime in the capital because ‘Trump bad,’ and then hop across, oblivious to the consequences of criminals running wild. It’s amazing stuff.
They’re mad because we’re talking about the Zarutska murder. They couldn’t squash it, which means another win for us and a reminder that the establishment press is continuing to die out.
