A devastating scandal has erupted in North Carolina's high-stakes Senate race as explosive new details reveal that Democrat gubernatorial candidate Roy Cooper's soft-on-crime policies directly led to the brutal murder of an innocent young woman.
In August 2024, 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was savagely stabbed to death on Charlotte's light rail system by repeat violent offender Decarlos Brown Jr. Now Americans are learning the horrifying truth: Brown was walking free thanks to Cooper's reckless 2021 mass prisoner release program.
Cooper's Deadly Decision
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Cooper's administration struck a settlement in NAACP v. Cooper that resulted in the early release of approximately 3,500 North Carolina inmates. Among those criminals set loose on the streets was Brown - a career violent offender who should have remained behind bars.
The revelation has sent shockwaves through social media, with conservatives demanding accountability. "This clip just exposed a horrifying North Carolina scandal!" tweeted @mitchellvii. "Decarlos Brown Jr., the guy who murdered Iryna Zarutska, got sprung early from prison thanks to Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper's 2021 program that released 3,500 criminals."
North Carolina political observer Josh Peters highlighted the electoral implications, asking voters: "Does the recent news about the 2021 settlement in NAACP v. Cooper that led to the early release of 3,500 North Carolina inmates during the COVID-19 pandemic, which included DeCarlos Brown Jr., the man charged in the murder of Iryna Zarutska, change how you plan to vote?"
Blood on Their Hands
This is exactly what happens when radical Democrats prioritize criminal "rights" over public safety. While Cooper and his allies virtue-signaled about "compassionate" COVID policies, they unleashed dangerous predators into communities across North Carolina.
Iryna Zarutska came to America seeking safety and opportunity. Instead, she encountered the deadly consequences of liberal governance. Her blood is on Cooper's hands, and North Carolina voters have a chance to hold him accountable.
How many more innocent Americans must die before Democrats abandon their war on law and order?
