In her final moments on that Charlotte train, Iryna Zarutska didn't know anyone would remember her. She didn't know hundreds of millions of people around the world would see her face. She didn't know her name would be spoken by the President of the United States.
In that moment, all she knew was fear. She was alone and scared.
As long as I'm alive, I'll never forget her. I'll never stop posting about her.
An update on the man charged with killing her, Decarlos Brown Jr.:
He is in federal custody at a Bureau of Prisons medical center in North Carolina. In June, a federal judge ruled him incompetent to stand trial and ordered treatment to restore his competency. A state hospital also found him incapable to proceed.
There is no trial date. His state death penalty hearing was just pushed to May 4, 2027, and neither federal nor state prosecutors have said whether they will seek life in prison.
Iryna deserves justice.
A left-wing woman went to visit Palestinians and try to report on a ‘genocide’, and she was immediately hit with a rock because of her immodest clothing.
The reality.
