Liberal media and the murder of Iryna Zarutska

 Axios Hits New Low, Bent That Iryna Zarutska's Murder Validates MAGA Crime Message – RedState

A Democratic Mayor's Disgraceful Reaction to an Avoidable Murder in Her City   . . . "An appalling reaction.  She failed to even mention the name of the actual victim, whose life was stolen from her, while lecturing people not to "demonize" homeless people like the killer.  No mention of his many previous arrests.  She said nothing in the way of specific steps to enhance crime prevention, but talked about "compassion" and "commitment" for the homeless population while pleading to "improve services" for them.  As we saw from Democrats in Tennessee and Minnesota in the immediate aftermaths of deadly school shootings by trans people who targeted Christian children, the instant impulse is to scold the public against blaming the murderers' identity groups." . . .

Mainstream media turns a blind eye to vicious stabbing of young Ukrainian woman  . . . "Sadly she couldn’t survive the Democrats’ criminal justice system," [Charlie] Kirk added. "Yet you wouldn’t shut up or stop villainizing Daniel Penny, a hero, who probably stopped a murder just like [hers]. Why? Because he was a straight white American male and the perp was black. Shame on you. Genuinely."

Heritage: Axios: Worst Part About Gruesome N.C. Train Stabbing Is People Noticing ... "The problem with sharing horrific footage is that people might see it, share it, and start asking questions about how Democrat-run cities are being managed. People might start asking why suspect DeCarlos Brown Jr., who had previously been convicted of with armed robbery, breaking and entering, shoplifting, and felony larceny, was arrested 14 times." . .

A Woman Was Brutally Murdered and the Corporate Media Is Miffed You Noticed  . . . "In both cases, the media emphasized that it was a black victim and a white perpetrator."The answer to this double standard, of course, is that they wanted to spark a “national debate” about “systemic racism.” So, their coverage was wall to wall.

"Now that there’s a murder case that goes against their narrative on crime, they want nothing more than to ignore it, or grumble that alternative media is strong enough to break into a “national conversation” without their blessing." . . .

Media Blackout Regarding Charlotte Murder Is Pure Evil  . . . "The line "our media partners" is chilling here. What happened to a media/journalist class that speaks truth to power?

"The mayor's lengthy blah, blah, blah, comments about the killer's mental health struggles and homeless people were so off base they bordered on victim-shaming. Matt has more on that here. As his headline says, "The Democratic Party Is a Threat to Our Safety."

Third-World Corruption: The FireAid Scandal Exposes Democrats - and Republicans Need to Wise-Up

RedState  

"Just looking at the networks of a handful of these organizations begins to paint a clear picture of Gavin Newsom using his power and influence to redistribute money, which people believed was going to victims of the Palisades and Altadena fires, to the coffers of NGOs whose work is to bring out the vote for California Democrats."

"Questions and outrage have swirled around what happened to the estimated $100 million FireAid raised, which was advertised as going to help victims of the Palisades and Altadena fires. A look into just a handful of organizations that received the money exposes a network of wealthy NGOs, all connected to Democrat politicians like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. It’s not just that the $100 million of FireAid money got sucked into nonprofits and never reached victims of the fires; it’s darker than that. The powerful elite, elected to serve the people of California, sat back and let entire neighborhoods burn to the ground. They then swooped in and took hundreds of thousands of dollars meant to help those victims and funneled it right back into their political organizing machinery. The web of government money, public-private relationships, and NGOs gives a window into how California Democrats use public money to maintain their control over the state.

One of the most influential and well-connected organizations to receive a FireAid grant is the Latino Community Foundation (LCF). LCF describes its mission as “supporting Latino-led organizations and mobilizing political participation of Latinos in the state.” . . .

Axios Plants the Seeds to Help Media Excuse Non-Reporting of Ukrainian Woman’s Murder

 Legal Insurrection 

I can’t wait to see how the media will respond now that Axios has given them a way out.

 "Yes, we’ve entered the “Republicans pounce” phase concerning the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC.

 "They aren’t mad that a young woman with the rest of her life ahead

 of her is gone.  "They are mad that “MAGA influencers” noticed.

"Zarutska fled to America to escape the war. She wanted a new beginning.

"Axios has taken the lead for all other mainstream media to make excuses as to why hardly any of them have covered Zarutska’s murder.

As Muslims advance their openly-stated goal of colonizing Texas, they are already making sharia-compliant demands

 BareNakedIslam  “Ban alcohol-consumption. Ban sales of lottery tickets. Ban pork products from stores and restaurants.”

• TEXAS Governor Greg Abbott is right to oppose a proposed sharia-controlled MUSLIMS-ONLY community near Dallas
• Muslims in America discuss how they will bypass U.S. housing discrimination laws to ensure that no non-Muslims will ever live in their city
• In the ‘liberal” city of Houston, Texas, Muslims are allowed to hold rallies calling for the murder of all Jews
• TEXAS: Ex-Muslims kicked out of a Starbucks and threatened with arrest if they return just for wearing a shirt that says “I am an Ex-Muslim”
• Reeling from last week’s Muslim slaughter of five U.S. Servicemen in Tennessee, outraged Texas residents step up opposition to Muslim cemetery

This isn’t the first ‘Sharia-adherent’ residential and commercial complex operating in Texas, but it will represent a massive new ‘Muslims Only” No Go Zone just outside Dallas

HAMAS leader says he doesn’t want to waste his time killing Jews in Israel

"Instead, he wants to kill every last Jew in the world. After all, a dead Jew in Israel is only worth about 5 shekels (29 cents). Time to strap on your suicide belts to ensure mass casualties."

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."
