Horrid video of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska’s slaughter on Charlotte train is met with deafening silence from Dem leaders, media

 NY Post

"Liberal media and politicians have been accused of staying silent on the savage murder of a young Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train — after a career criminal with no fewer than 14 arrests was charged with her murder.

"Iryna Zarutska, 23, was stabbed to death on a light rail train in Charlotte, with horrifying surveillance footage showing the moment the unsuspecting young woman was brutally attacked.

"Decarlos Brown Jr., 35, is allegedly shown pulling out a pocket knife and getting out of his seat behind Zarutska before the video cuts just as he prepares to plunge the blade into her, footage shared by police shows.

"Zarutska is totally unaware of the killer behind her, fiddling with her phone as Brown allegedly unfolds the knife and prepares to attack.

"After the killing, the attacker can be seen wandering through the Lynx Blue Line train — dripping blood across the floor as he carries the weapon.

"Bystanders barely seem to notice that a young woman has just been knifed to death right behind them." . . .

                                          He calmly leaves the train trailing her blood. TD

. . . "But in the wake of the monstrous killing, which took place on Aug. 22, mainstream outlets and politicians have largely stayed silent.

"Charlotte’s Democratic mayor (Mayor Vi Lyles pictured, right) even thanked publications that chose to keep the video from the public."  

"Former DOGE secretary Elon Musk called out what he said was a lack of coverage of the killing by mainstream media, resharing a post counting how many articles the outlets had written about the stabbing, along with the comment, “Zero.”The alleged murder of a white woman by a black man also drew many responses from the far right.At the same time, those who knew Zarutska have spoken of their horror that a young woman who escaped the war in her country in 2022 could have met such a sickening end in the US."
