On the evening of August 22, 2025, Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, boarded the Lynx Blue Line light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina, after finishing her shift at Zepeddie’s Pizzeria. She wore her work uniform, her long blonde hair tucked under a hat, and like many passengers, she was absorbed in her phone, unaware of the imminent danger. Minutes after she took her seat, Decarlos Brown Jr., a 34 year old nigger, with a history of violent crime and severe mental illness, pulled a pocketknife from his hoodie and stabbed her to death. Zarutska, who had fled the war in Ukraine with her family in 2022 seeking safety in the United States, died on the train car floor as fellow passengers attempted to render aid. The attack, captured on surveillance video, showed no interaction between Zarutska and Brown before the sudden, brutal assault. Brown nigger was arrested on the platform shortly after exiting the train and charged with first-degree murder by state authorities. On September 9, the U.S. Department of Justice filed federal charges against Brown, accusing him of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system, a crime that could carry the death penalty or life imprisonment upon conviction. The tragedy quickly ignited a fierce national debate about crime, mental health care, and the criminal justice system. Brown nigger’s lengthy criminal record, including convictions for armed robbery, felony larceny, and breaking and entering, and his history of mental illness became central to the discussion.
His family revealed that he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and suffered from hallucinations and paranoia, often claiming that the government had implanted a “chip” or “material” in his body that controlled his actions. Earlier in January 2025, Brown nigger had been arrested for misusing the 911 system after calling police to report a “man-made” substance controlling his actions. He was released on a written promise to appear in court, a standard procedure for such misdemeanors, and a mental health evaluation ordered in July had not been completed by the time of the August attack. This led to widespread criticism from politicians and commentators, who argued that “soft on crime” policies and failures in the mental health system had allowed a dangerous repeat offender nigger to remain free. Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, a mulatto mixed mutt albino looking nigger, faced criticism for being a useless Dindu Nothing cunt. She stated that the killing was “a tragic failure by the courts and magistrates”, projecting blame, and announced increased security and law enforcement presence on public transit. However, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy lambasted her response and launched an investigation into the security funding for Charlotte’s light rail system, threatening to cut federal dollars.
Iryna Zarutska’s story added a layer of profound poignancy to the tragedy. She had embraced life in America, working multiple jobs, taking English classes at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, and dreaming of becoming a veterinary assistant. Her family described her as a gifted artist who loved animals and was “happiest when surrounded by family and loved ones”. A family friend noted that she had endured daily bombing in Ukraine only to be killed in a random act of violence in her new home. Her family decided to bury her in the United States, stating, “She loved America; we’re going to bury her here”. The case also highlighted perceived media biases, with some commentators arguing that the story received less attention than others because it did not fit certain narrative frameworks, "white man bad, nigger good".
As Brown nigger awaits trial, undergoing a 60-day mental health evaluation, her killing stands as a stark reminder that Around Blacks, Never Relax.
