Are the Feds Going to Look Into the CATS Light Rail Murder?

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

"Horrible... I'll know all about it by tomorrow morning."

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.

Fmr. NY Governor Referred to DoJ Over False Statements

At this rate, New York's going to have as many corrupt and criminally-looked at politicians as Illinois does...

For reference, per HotAir... JUST IN.... ANDREW CUOMO REFERRED FOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION TO AG PAM BONDI...

The referral comes from Oversight Chairman James Comer. “Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York."

"This wasn’t a slip-up—it was a calculated cover-up by a man seeking to shield himself from responsibility for the devastating loss of life in New York’s nursing homes. Let’s be clear: lying to Congress is a federal crime. Mr. Cuomo must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The House Oversight Committee is prepared to fully cooperate with the Justice Department’s investigation into Andrew Cuomo’s actions and ensure he’s held to account."

The schadenfreude writes itself...that said, I hope this is the first step towards accountability over the missteps, mistakes and outright crimes committed by elected officials during the Covid pandemic.
