MAGA Rages Only Immigrant Deaths When They're White!

Transient stabs woman on a light rail. The right goes bonkers.

When crime happens in the country, instead of pointing to mental illness, loneliness, struggling additions, poverty and politics for crime, why don't we look at the fact that it is a random act.

Most crimes happen because its an opportunity. Everyone has committed a crime in the lives. They just haven't been caught yet or they just don't see their crimes as significant.

Conservatives grift off of crime when the suspects are Black, immigrant or Muslim.

A man attacks a woman on a Charlotte light rail train and the far right is outraged.

There were other incidents but they involved Black women and not one peep from the very same folks.

The victim was an Ukrainian refugee. Oh so now the far right cares about immigrants. Or the fact that a victim is white and not a person from the Global South.

If the victim was an immigrant of color, the far right would claim either the victim was a prostitute, a person who made a reckless decision or a person who shouldn't be in the country in the first place.

WBTV on Friday, Sept. 5 obtained surveillance video of a deadly stabbing that happened two weeks earlier on the Lynx Blue Line light rail system in Charlotte, North Carolina. You can watch our edit of that video below.

At around 9:50 p.m. on Aug. 22, a light rail passenger stabbed Iryna Zarutska, 23, several times. Officials said she was stabbed in the throat at least one time. Zarutska was pronounced dead on the light rail.

Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Zarutska’s killing. Brown was ordered last week to remain in jail and undergo a competency evaluation.

The victim tried to avoid the stabbing but succumb to her injuries.

WBTV obtained surveillance footage of the deadly Aug. 22 stabbing on Sept. 5. We are choosing to not show the moment of the actual attack, which is, of course, violent and graphic.

You can watch WBTV’s edited version below, which shows several clips from multiple angles on the rail car. The suspected attacker, identified as Brown, can be seen wearing a red hooded sweatshirt in the video. Zarutska can be seen wearing a black t-shirt and hat -- what appears to be a work uniform.

About one minute and 30 seconds into the video, Brown can be seen taking out a pocket knife, unfolding it, standing up, and gearing up to attack Zarutska. WBTV froze that clip moments before Zarutska is stabbed.

In the full video, WBTV observed the attacker swing his arm and stab Zarutska three times in the throat area before walking away. Zarutska looked visibly shocked by the attack, falling to the floor shortly after.

It was believed that Zarutska and Brown did not know each other. A believed motive for the stabbing had not yet been provided by investigators.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
