Couple of weeks ago a Ukrainian immigrant woman, Iryna Zarutska, was murdered on a CATS light rail train by an in-and-out-of-jail homeless vagrant (I refuse to speak of the murderer's name because (a) he doesn't deserve it and (b) this was such a random crime w/out any reason for it to happen other than spur of the moment.
That said, Donald Trump has voiced interest in having the Feds' investigate it....
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump is planning to look into the kiIIing of Iryna Zarutska on a train in Charlotte

Now, everyone with two functioning brain cells knows damn well why the media in general aren't covering it (and that includes the local Charlotte-area media who should be covering this) is because you have a white victim and a black killer.
If it was reversed? 24/7 coverage.
But when the killer is black and the victim white? Crickets.
At the very least the media will have to focus on this with Trump speaking about it but the reality is that if we had a functioning criminal justice & social services system, the killer in this case would've either been kept in jail/prison, gotten the mental health services he so obviously needs or both.
Of course, that would require the citizens of the People's Republic of Charlotte to actually give a damn about law and order but it is Charlotte. Let's just hope the spotlight gets shined on Vi Lyles, the Charlotte City Council and everyone else in power there good and hard.
