It has been a couple of weeks since the murder took place, but the story has gone absolutely viral. The mainstream media has refrained from covering the story for the most part.
The Daily Mail had reported that the accused killer has been arrested numerous times in the past and has done prison time.
The young woman from Ukraine who was killed was described as a Ukrainian refugee. She would have been safer staying in Ukraine than coming to Charlotte. The Queen City– run by socialists– has become a place where the criminal justice system is dysfunctional and corrupted.
It used to be a nice city years ago.
This is a shameful reflection on the state of North Carolina.
Lies of omission are but one of the weapons the Mockingbird media uses to mis-frame our world view. But calling out this one exposes their nature.
I agree, J. Sobran. There is much more to say about this. I expect at least one or two more posts on this topic.
This is another sad tale of an innocence person being brutalized by a street thug.
The murder occurred on August 22, so why are we just learning about it. I’ll tell you why… in the wake of the monstrous killing, mainstream outlets and politicians have largely stayed silent.
Charlotte’s Dem mayor even thanked publications that chose to keep the video from the public.
The real outrage is not the unprovoked murder of a public-transit passenger, it’s that the wrong people are noticing. The Observer tells us that crime is down in the Queen City and the only problem is Republican agitation.
Boycott Charlotte !!!
Fred, Charlotte is degenerating into a dystopian city. There is too much ever-increasing density. This woman would not have been murdered if she did not have to rely on mass transit.
But there is also too much of a progressive/socialist ruling class– politicians and judges and prosecutors alike.
Mayor’s statement:
“Charlotte, North Carolina, Mayor Vi Lyles released a statement…blaming the horrific situation on a lack of “social safety nets…”

Translation: You’re not paying enough taxes.
It appears, JayCee, she would fit in real well with the Greensboro City Council.
Very apt translation, JayCee. But then that often is a pretty good summary of what the likes of Mayor Lyles ever has to say. Sort of like 19 out of 20 stories on NPR essentially demonstrating that the government isn’t big enough or intervening enough…
J. Sobran, these people are contemptible. It is a huge deflection to avoid responsibility for what they really need to do.
