It’s a crime that shocked all decent people in America, except of course the corrupt lamestream media, who have studiously ignored the story because it might infringe on their “there’s no crime crisis in the U.S.” narrative.
In horrifying footage, a deranged suspect with multiple priors randomly stabbed and killed Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, in late August. The psycho, identified by police as Decarlos Brown Jr., was arrested shortly after and has been charged with first-degree murder.
Zarutska’s family has set up a GoFundMe fundraiser, which has so far collected $89,000.
In a disgusting twist, however, another call for money was set up on the site for… Decarlos Brown Jr.’s legal fees. The reasoning by the commenters tells you everything that is wrong with American liberals today:
“While what happened on the Blue Line was a tragedy, what we mustn’t lose sight of is the fact that Decarlos Brown Jr. was failed categorically by the judicial system and the mental health services of North Carolina, and as such is not entirely to blame for what happened,” one page claimed.
“Raising money to assist with legal fees for Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. Anything helps fight against the racism and bias against our people. Thank you for giving us a hand to push against this corrupt narrative,” another fundraiser spewed.
Pretty deranged stuff. At least some people understood the difference between good and evil:
“What kind of sick human is donating to this monster? GoFundMe should be ashamed,” another raged.

GoFundMe finally found a soul and took the fundraiser down:

They deleted the page and refunded the donors, who should all be forced to attend every single grief counseling session Zarutska’s family might attend.
The platform moved to delete the pages as the backlash mounted and screenshots of the “psychotic” fundraisers spread like wildfire on social media.
“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service explicitly prohibit fundraisers that raise money for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with an alleged violent crime,” GoFundMe said in a statement.
“Consistent with this long-standing policy, this fundraiser has been removed from the platform and the donors who contributed to the fundraiser have been fully refunded.”
The left’s response to this tragedy and to President Trump’s vow to stop the revolving door of our political justice system has exposed them thoroughly—they don’t actually care about the safety of our citizens and instead focus fully on retaining power and shoving their Marxist goals down our throats. Some of the comments on Brown’s former GoFundMe page are truly jaw-dropping in their defense of savagery and mayhem.
Good for GoFundMe for nixing the insanity on their site—but one can’t help by wonder, what was it doing up there in the first place?
