This is so completely outrageous. This man should never have been on the street with all of his prior arrests. The last judge who handled his case should be held accountable. What makes this tragedy even more heartbreaking is that this poor woman, who came to the United States seeking refuge from the war in Ukraine, was murdered—and no one came to her aid. May God help and comfort her family in this time of such great loss.
I've now seen the complete raw footage where that frightened and bewildered young woman starts to cry, almost seeming unaware of the severity of her injuries, before she falls over.
All I can say is that I feel so infuriated beyond words by every pastor and ministry leader who aided and abetted the policies that led to Iryna Zarutska's death when they joined the trendy but false BLM narrative that our criminal justice system was "structurally racist" and needed significant reforms.
Well, those reforms were enacted. Cashless bail. Decriminalizing homelessness. Reducing the jail population. Anti-racism training for police and courts--all in the name of "racial equity."
These were the "reforms" you demanded when you marched with BLM and its associated organizations. These were the reforms you asked for when you told us to use the slogan "black lives matter." You got them. And you got your applause for taking part in lies.
Repent.
