Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 08, 2025

Officials on Friday released surveillance footage showing the moments just before the deadly stabbing of a 23-year-old woman on a Charlotte, North Carolina, light rail last month, prompting new calls for safety on public transit. The video, released by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), shows Iryna Zarutska, a Ukranian refugee, get on the light rail and sit in front of 34-year-old suspect Decarlos Brown Jr. for several minutes before the fatal incident. Brown Jr. has been charged with first-degree murder, according to a press release issued by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) in August.

If this had been a black or brown woman, and the perp was white, it would be in dancing banana's.

But the perp ticks all the right boxes. Black, mentally ill, and his target was white.

Cant let this get out. Makes the Dem narrative look bad.

President Donald Trump reacted to news of a deadly stabbing on a Charlotte light rail last month, calling the situation "horrible." "Horrible," Trump said Sunday after hearing about the case for the first time. "I haven't heard ... [but] I'll know all about it by tomorrow morning."
Trump must have been so torn. One of the toughest presidential decisions he's ever faced.

He hates Black people because he's a racist POS. But he detests Ukrainians because he's Putin's Beach.

What else is it Joe?

Here's the issue Lumpers can't quite make the connection, so I will help them out.

Every Liberal, myself included would like some form of public transportation. Lightrail, trains, high speed rail. But this episode in America shows one solid reason why people stopped or won't be using public transportation. Crime. From the NYC dude that stopped a crazy man in the subway to this, you don't support stopping people from terrorizing those that can't defend themselves.

Like its normal to sit down in a train and spend the entire ride assessing angles of attack, rather than reading a book or checking your messages.

Just ignore the reality and poke fun at Boaz, remain ignorant while people won't vote for what you want, and then Psycho can complain about Trump and how Americans are stupid.

When the answer is right there in front of you.

Trump Has Pledged to Deport Some Legal Immigrants. Could He Do That?
Published Sep 30, 2024
www.newsweek.com
After promising mass deportations of illegal immigrants, former President Donald Trump is now vowing to come for those admitted into the United States under programs established to protect migrants from certain countries.

Trump has said he would force the million-plus people who arrived under Humanitarian Parole, or were allowed to stay in the U.S. through Temporary Protected Status (TPS), to leave if he wins a second term.

"Get ready to leave because you're going to be going out real fast," the Republican presidential candidate told Fox News last week.

Migrants in U.S. legally and with no criminal history caught up in Trump crackdown

Trump's mass deportation plans hit riskier phase with legal immigrants, court fights
www.politico.com

Trump spent his first weeks in office emphasizing a mass deportation campaign aimed at criminals who are in the country illegally.

But late last week, immigration agents arrested a Lebanese doctor on a legal visa, despite a court order temporarily blocking her immediate removal. That followed the detention of German tourists, a former Columbia University graduate student with a green card and multiple immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens or have long lived in the United States.

Grandmother held by ICE over $25 bad check from 10 years ago: 'This is wrong'
www.kcbd.com

LINCOLN COUNTY, Mo. (KMOV/Gray News) " A grandmother in Missouri who has been in the United States for nearly 50 years is being held by ICE and faces deportation to Ireland.
...
Ten years ago, Donna wrote a bad check, charging documents say, for $25. She paid it back and got probation.

But Brown says the U.S. government is suddenly arguing that was a "crime of moral turpitude."

The U.S. government says that's a term used in the immigration context that has no statutory definition, but courts have held that moral turpitude "refers generally to conduct that shocks the public conscience as being inherently base, vile or depraved, contrary to the rules of morality."

You can't seem to tell us.

Is it mental healthcare funding that Trump cut?

Is it that these stories never get posted unless you post them even though its just one crime and it was already posted?

Is it that we should post EVERY crime story that was committed by someone who isn't white?

Is it that we need to spend $400 billion a year putting the National Guard in every city in the country?

Is it that you are trying to distract from the Epstein stuff on Trump that you are carefully avoiding every thread on?

What is the point of trying to "talk" to you? You are incorrigible. And you appear to live in an alternate universe of alternative facts like most maga maroons. Nothing you ever say is going help to solve any of our actual problems. Only create more.

It's way more fun to point and laugh at the foolish maga maroon who worships the Evil Emperor wannabe and refuses to admit your Dear Leader has no clothes. (Which is disgusting and disgraceful)

Why would mental health be a consideration here? Guy was perfectly sane. Took out the weak woman. Walked away. An insane person would have gone after the first person on the train.

What I notice is if there is a White on POC crime story its posted. So you don't like this? I don't have dog in this fight, but I did notice when Asian victim crime was a thing, it eventually was squashed when it when it was noticed that it was mostly perpetrated by blacks individuals.

Is it that we need to spend $400 billion a year putting the National Guard in every city in the country?

If you want to live in an equal country then perhaps instead of spending it on Military the US could do this.

Lumpers complain about inequality, but never discuss the inequality of crime.

Is it that you are trying to distract from the Epstein stuff on Trump that you are carefully avoiding every thread on?

Yeah because the murder of someone on light rail isn't as nearly as important as a hoax.

Yes, the front page is FULL of white people crime! Oh wait... It's not... The only time one gets posted is if its clearly a huge racial element with some weird situation. Shooting a child who knocks on your door to get their ball back, etc. But keep pretending.

You vote for Trump, watch him do the opposite, and then say this?

Yep. Definitely a hoax...with boxes of documents, photos, videos, hand written notes from Trump, literal interviews with Trump, witnesses, etc. Just say you are okay with it. You don't have to lie about it being a hoax. Tell us you are proud of Donald Trump.

Dumb? Mental illness would be to attack the man on the seat across from him. He attacked, from behind the most frail person on the light rail. Its logical.

Thats not a mental health issue. Just look at yourself for mental health issues, you run around daily claiming Trump is some pedophile.
When the whole Justice System of America was trying to throw Trump in jail, even adjusting laws, and extending deadlines to allow people to sue.

And it came up empty. Nothing, nada, zilch. Sure you can imply all sorts things, but it wasn't jailable.

Now we have a girl stabbed to death, and your deflect to Trump... LOL Talk about dumb.

I can't vote. But if you really want equality you need to get rid of crime more than get rid of the President, any president.
But you don't want equality, you only want Trump gone so Lumpers can continue letting criminals, and illegal immigrants running wild in the streets killing citizens.

Definitely a hoax...with boxes of documents, photos, videos, hand written notes from Trump, literal interviews with Trump, witnesses, etc. Just say you are okay with it.

If it's not a hoax why didn't Biden DoJ go after for it, they had all the evidence? If he's so guilty why isn't he in jail? Why?

You can't explain it. But you believe it because its a hoax.

Felon or Illegal Alien?

you only want Trump gone so Lumpers can continue letting criminals, and illegal immigrants running wild in the streets killing citizens.

Trump pardoned the J6ers. You don't get to talk. Dems want to lock up the violent criminals and provide proper mental healthcare and drug treatment. Not rocket science. Most criminals get out someday. Dems want to help them not go back. MAGAts want them to have guns.

If it's not a hoax why didn't Biden DoJ go after for it, they had all the evidence? If he's so guilty why isn't he in jail? Why?

The records were sealed by a Florida court until July, 2024. Bit too late to INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE Trump.

Spare everyone your BS. Trayvon Martin being killed by a "white Hispanic" was a national story that dominated several news cycles.

The press tried to bury this story until it caught fire on social media. People notice when a vindictive AG throws the book at a Good Samaritan like Daniel Penny.

The Appeal to Hypocrisy Fallacy, Explained

Wouldn't it be great if the next time you turn in an assignment a day late, your professor thought back to their own days as a student and let it slide, rather than docking points? After all, they probably missed a deadline or two in their day.

The reality is, your professor probably did miss a few deadlines when they were a student. But another reality is that it doesn't matter if they did. Their track record as a student has no bearing on whether it's OK for you to miss assignment due dates; claiming that it does is the basis of the appeal to hypocrisy fallacy.
