"The savage murder of Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina last month has laid bare the daily terror of American urban life, the hypocrisy of the American mainstream media, and the negligence of the American political elite. On Monday, President Donald Trump briefly addressed the murder during a speech on religious liberty. "When you have horrible killings, you have to take horrible actions," Trump said. "There are evil people. We have to be able to handle that. If we don't handle that, we don't have a country.""
"I agree with the sentiment. My basic philosophy of law and order is this: Someone's head is getting bashed. The only question is which heads will be bashed and who will be doing the bashing. Personally, I think we'll all fare better if the heads belong to bad guys and the bashers have police badges. But the president should do more to highlight the Zarutska murder, discussing it in blunt terms to seize the political advantage,"
The savage murder of Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina exposed claims of daily terror in American urban life, mainstream media hypocrisy, and political negligence. President Donald Trump briefly addressed the killing during a speech on religious liberty and warned that failure to handle such violence threatens the country. Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who fled her war-torn homeland in 2022, was stabbed to death on a Charlotte light-rail car by Decarlos Brown Jr., a 34-year-old man with multiple prior convictions. The response called for a blunt national conversation about violent crime, more aggressive public-safety measures, and political pressure on Democrats and liberal media.
