A horrific stabbing and murder of a Ukrainian refugee occurred on a light rail mass transit train in Charlotte, NC. Trump is outraged and is demanding the death penalty for the attacker, and I'm actually OK with that.

BUT!
What if the refugee from Ukraine was not a very attractive Caucasian blond woman, but some guy or slightly overweight middle-aged woman from Ukraine?
What if the refugee from Ukraine was not from Ukraine, but from a middle eastern country, or South American country, or Africa (excluding white South Africans)?
What if the attacker were not a black man, but a redneck with a MAGA hat or Trump tattoo?

Sounds like an act from a deeply disturbed person being politicized by the administration for their own purposes. Is Duffy willing to pay for a cop to be stationed on every train car and bus while they are in service?

Trump is talking about this because you have an attractive blond woman attacked on the train by a black man. They are trying to promote this as a race-based attack when the black man was mentally ill. However, his idiot followers will lap this up like they do all his lies.

Meanwhile Trump silent on the church shooting and the cop killed at CDC HQ.

I saw the story on TV network news, including the assault (they cut it a split second before she was stabbed). It was heart wrenching. She appeared to be about as innocent a person as you could ever hope to see.

I was wondering for a second there how someone could become that mentally ill to stab someone as innocent as you ever hope to see, but then I realized we have to ban knives.

The woman was murdered, and the murderer was charged and arrested. I’m not sure what makes this case so newsworthy?

I know ... Because the color of the victim and assailant fits right into the feigned outrage narrative. They are awful quiet when a room full of children are murdered by someone that looks like them though. Murders and crimes happen daily by someone with a rap sheet or being mentally ill. They don’t actually care about the woman, they only care about exploiting her death. 24 Ukrainian retirees were just killed by a Putin airstrike as they were waiting to collect their pensions in Yarova, Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine the other day. Have any of these Republicans commented on those dead and murdered Ukrainians?

White girl murdered by mentally ill Black man. Conservatives care.

Minorities shot to death by mentally ill white supremacist. *crickets*

Trump murdered 11 people in international waters. Why isn't Fox talking about that?

Liberal policies and lack of hard time let him return to the streets to kill.

Poor woman. RIP.
LOL, GOP has had a lock on the state legislature with supermajority veto override power for like 10 of the last 15 years. Democratic mayors have no part in making the laws or setting conditions on pre-trial release. The magistrate followed the laws that the GOP set for pre-trial release conditions on a charge that was essentially a prank 911 phone call.

The only other option she had was to release him to a mental health facility—but they’d have to agree to take him and there’s no guarantee he’d be committed all the way from January to August. If you don’t know what’s happening with hospitals and clinics in NC, they’re underfunded and shutting down because the GOP keeps blocking Medicaid expansion soon etc.

Try again.
