Oh, what a sick joke – a brave Ukrainian refugee flees Putin’s bombs only to get her throat slashed on an American train by a career criminal scumbag the system let roam free, and where’s the howling outrage from the so-called Ukraine superfans who’ve been waving blue-and-yellow flags like it’s their religion? Crickets, folks – just a limp-wristed statement from Kyiv’s diplomats and a collective shrug from the progressive peanut gallery that’s spent years lecturing us about “solidarity” with Zelensky. On August 22, 2025, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, fresh off escaping war-torn Ukraine for the supposed safety of Charlotte, North Carolina, sat minding her business at the East/West Boulevard station when 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., a homeless repeat offender with a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt, plunged a knife into her neck for no damn reason. She bled out right there, another victim of the left’s catch-and-release insanity, and the Ukraine boosters? They’re too busy virtue-signaling about distant missiles to give a rip about the blood on our soil.
Picture this horror show: Zarutska, a young woman who’d dodged drones and death in her homeland just months earlier, boards public transit in the land of the free, thinking she’s made it. Instead, Brown – arrested 15 times since 2011 for everything from robbery to larceny, and ranting about “man-made” substances controlling his body like some unhinged conspiracy nut – decides she’s his target. Surveillance footage released September 6, 2025, captures the nightmare: Him lunging, her collapsing, and zero intervention because the system’s too gutless or woke to keep predators off the streets.

Mecklenburg cops nabbed him quick, charging first-degree murder after he got patched up for his own boo-boos, but that’s cold comfort for a family shattered across oceans. Zarutska’s mom? Left begging for justice while the perp, out on bail or bonds more times than I can count, proves bail reform’s a license to kill.
And the response from Ukraine’s American fan club? Pathetic. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry piped up on August 27, 2025, with a milquetoast memo: “The Embassy is in constant contact with authorities and the mother… the case remains under oversight.” Wow, thanks for the paperwork – where’s the fury, the marches, the viral hashtags? These are the same clowns who’ve flooded D.C. with protests for billions in aid to Kyiv, turning every congressional vote into a morality play about standing up to tyrants. But when a Ukrainian-American dream ends in a pool of blood from domestic demons we could’ve stopped? Yawn. No candlelight vigils, no op-eds blasting soft-on-crime DAs, just a GoFundMe scraping by at a few grand while the left pivots to whatever’s trending next.
This hypocrisy reeks worse than the subway cars these policies turned into rolling zoos. Remember Daniel Penny? That Marine vet who choked out a raving lunatic on a Manhattan train in May 2023 to protect passengers? The left crucified him as a “vigilante murderer,” parading Jordan Neely’s family like saints while ignoring Neely’s threats and priors. Penny got acquitted in December 2024, but the damage was done – a message to every good Samaritan: Stay seated, let the crazies rampage. Fast-forward to Zarutska: Social media’s buzzing with “If Penny had been there, she’d be alive, Brown dead, and the media in meltdown.”
Spot on – but crickets from the Ukraine squad, who defended Neely’s “right to menace” and now ignore how their bail bonanzas let killers like Brown walk. Polls nail the disconnect: An August 2025 survey showed 68% of Americans back tougher sentences for repeat violent offenders, with 74% of independents calling bail reform a “disaster” – yet the left’s too busy with Ukraine flags to fix the streets here.
America First means protecting our own first – sealing borders so war refugees aren’t funneled into crime-infested transit hubs without vetting, and locking up thugs like Brown before they strike. Zarutska deserved better than a system that imported chaos and exported justice. The Ukraine boosters’ silence? It’s disgusting, a betrayal of the very values they preach. Wake up, or the next victim could be anyone on the next train. Trump’s deportations are slashing crossings 90% by September 2025 – time for the rest to follow suit and clean house at home.
