I’m just here to gawk at the train wrecks. You don’t wanna follow me!

@USArmySFC_1 @Chicago1Ray @SecWar He's a ring knocker, who went in in 2005. The fact that he's still a major tells you what an undistinguished career he has had.

[StillPooh @StillPooh62]

@BuzzzStryker @hub87375 @Chicago1Ray @SecWar He definitely knows who to call to make it happen.

@Chicago1Ray @SecWar 🙋🏻‍♀️🇺🇲 He's an embarrassment to the uniform.

@MG555MG555 @libsoftiktok B-52'S have a regular crew of 5 but there's room for instructors on training flights.

@Oculogyric @EdwardsAFB Also the B-52's nuclear mission ended more than 30 years ago.

@Oculogyric @EdwardsAFB Everyone can eject, but the navigator and radar nav have to go out from the belly, so they need more clearance. My husband used to always say he'd ask the pilot to heel it over to give him more room in a low altitude bailout. Thankfully that wasn't ever necessary.

@EdwardsAFB There was a B-52 crash at KI Sawyer AFB the year before we got there, in the late 80's. They were doing touch and goes, and on impact the crew compartment sheared off from the rest of the fuselage, saving the aircrew from the ensuing fire. Everyone survived. 🙏🏻 for the same here

@Thekev74 @KurtSchlichter Which one? 🤔🤣

[StillPooh @StillPooh62]

@FitzboRob And the 🐔 💩 NYP wouldn't allow any comments on the article either. 🙄

@realMaalouf I would invite her to move to a devoutly Muslim country, and let us know how that works out for her. If she has time, before her rooftop tour.

[StillPooh @StillPooh62]

@AntiWokeMemes I hate to say this, but I hope it terminates. That little human soul can try again for sane parents. 🙏🏻

@libsoftiktok Pulling the Tigger 🤣

@EllenRo40888399 @Kicking_chicken @NicoleSirotek Given that the safe daily dose is only 4000 mg, that slightly more than 6 of that dose. And a single overdose can lead to acute liver failure. When I was in nursing school in the 1990's we were told the safe daily dose was only 3000 mg. 🧐

@LangmanVince Looks like Jennifer took too much Tylenol during her pregnancy 🤪

[StillPooh @StillPooh62]

@not_rekt_11 I wouldn't let Aunt Jemima close enough for her to touch me. Iryna's death has made me much more aware of where the wild things are. 👀

@HazelAppleyard_ Tiny Tempest needs to get back in her teapot.

[StillPooh @StillPooh62]

@catturd2 I don't need to fight. I'm armed.

IIryna Zarutska was 23 years old. She left Ukraine to escape a war, believing she had found safety in America. On August 22 she boarded a train in Charlotte like anyone would expecting nothing more than to get home. Minutes later she was stabbed again and again in her seat, her throat slashed under the harsh glow of fluorescent lights.

What makes her death even more unbearable is how public it was. Passengers sat only a few feet away. Some were unaware, others froze, others turned their eyes elsewhere. The train kept moving, and Iryna bled out in plain view. Surrounded by people, she died as if she were alone.

The man who killed her, Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr., was not some hidden danger. He had been arrested fourteen times before. Robbery, larceny, false alarms, erratic behavior, even documented mental illness. Each arrest ended with the same outcome: release. He was processed, excused, and sent back out.

So you have to look at the contrast. Iryna was young, hardworking, innocent. She followed the rules, took the train, believed the city she lived in would protect her. Brown was a career criminal spiraling in and out of courtrooms and jails, treated like a permanent liability no one wanted to confront. Yet he got endless leniency. She got none. He got fourteen second chances. She got one ride on a train that ended in her murder.

This is the failure. A justice system that coddles repeat offenders until they explode. A court culture that congratulates itself on compassion while ignoring the price paid by the public. Politicians talk about rehabilitation, about mercy, about not overcrowding prisons. But every “second chance” handed to men like Brown is another roll of the dice with someone else’s life. On August 22, that gamble cost Iryna everything.

Think about the betrayal here. She left a country where bombs fell on cities, trusting that America would give her peace. Instead she was murdered in a place meant to be ordinary and safe a commuter train.

Iryna deserved protection. She deserved a system that valued her life, one that stood between people like her and animals like him. She deserved a society that stood up in her defense, not one that left her to die in front of silent passengers.
