Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, fled to America in search of a better life. Instead, Iryna was murdered in cold blood in an unprovoked attack while riding a train in North Carolina. Career criminal Decarlos Brown Jr. was arrested no fewer than 14 times before slaughtering the young woman, and now, the mainstream media is in meltdown mode as they rush to control the narrative.
Wikipedia editors have repeatedly attempted to remove the story. “Nothing is remarkable about this,” the editors at Wikipedia claim. Wikipedia was eager to cover the death of George Floyd and has enshrined his memory with a page that recognizes the global outrage that followed his death. The mainstream media has a very specific agenda and selectively chooses what narratives it wants the masses to believe.
“Decarlos Brown Jr. was failed categorically by the judicial system and the mental health services of North Carolina, and as such is not entirely to blame for what happened,” read Brown’s GoFundMe page that has since been removed. Donations to the 35-year-old homeless schizophrenic man were intended to “fight against the racism and bias against our people,” one fundraiser claimed.
Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. had a violent criminal history, including armed robbery, threats, assault, and felony larceny. He had been involuntarily institutionalized in psychiatric wards for schizophrenic outbursts. Liberal judges released Brown without bail after each arrest. The majority claimed Brown was a victim of systemic racism and undeveloped mental health resources.

North Carolina Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes released Brown after his 14th arrest in January 2025 based on a “written promise” that the man would return to his court hearing. Brown was arrested for misusing the 911 system during a police officer wellness check where the man told authorities that “man-made” objects were controlling his body. “Brown wanted officers to investigate this ‘man-made’ material that was inside of his body,” the affidavit said. “Officers advised Brown that the issue was medical issue and that there was nothing further they could do.” Judge Stokes also happens to act as the Director of Operations at the Second Chance Services clinic, where Brown was once held. There is a clear conflict of interest and blatant disregard for public safety.
Liberal judges refuse to prosecute violent criminals, and liberal politicians refuse to acknowledge that their cities have become overrun by these criminals who are above the law. “The public safety threat that you’re actually after is one that could be remedied well before you grind your way through a court system,” North Carolina District Attorney Spencer Merriweather said before the surveillance video was released. Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles urged media outlets not to post the video of the unprovoked attack.
Over a dozen judges released Decarlos Brown back into the public to commit new crimes over 14 times since 2014. The judges had clear evidence that this man was not fit for society. Iryna Zarutska’s murder was preventable. The system failed this young woman, and yet, the left mainstream media would like the public to have sympathy for her murderer. It is clear that the bleeding-heart liberals have a cause closer to their hearts than Ukraine or women’s rights. The media attempted to silence the story, and other stories that are increasingly common as liberal judges have been appointed to side with criminals.
