Federal Grand Jury Indicts Decarlos Brown Jr. for His Demonic Butchery of Iryna Zarutska, on Death-Penalty Eligible Charges

Kill him. Straight to the gallows.

As Bizarro-World Obama might say: At some point, you've made enough people's lives worse.

A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr., the career criminal accused of brutally stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death aboard a Charlotte light-rail train in August. Brown faces federal charges of violence against a railroad carrier and a mass transportation system resulting in death -- offenses that make him eligible for the death penalty.

...

Brown, who has a criminal history stretching back nearly two decades, was arrested immediately after the attack and has remained in custody. Records show at least 14 prior arrests in North Carolina for assault, firearm possession, robbery, and larceny since 2007.

The killing of Zarutska -- who fled war-torn Ukraine in 2022 seeking safety in the United States -- sparked national outrage and bipartisan calls for justice. President Donald Trump weighed in on Truth Social, writing: "The ANIMAL who so violently killed the beautiful young lady from Ukraine, who came to America searching for peace and safety, should be given a 'Quick' (there is no doubt!) Trial, and only awarded THE DEATH PENALTY."

...

Zarutska's murder has become a rallying cry in North Carolina for victims' rights advocates and those demanding tougher penalties on repeat offenders. Brown now faces both state and federal murder charges as prosecutors prepare a case that could bring the ultimate punishment for what authorities describe as one of Charlotte's most horrific and senseless crimes in years.

In the UK, 10,000 people have signed a petition to create women-only subway cars. Apparently women feel threatened by some men. Maryland Men, I'm assuming.

Here's how the Daily Mirror chose to illustrate the problem of men threatening women on public transit:
