Crime and Justice

Postby jusplay4fun on Wed Sep 10, 2025 2:31 am

Let's discuss Crime and Justice:

1) incident #1
The video of this crime is horrific and this seems to be a random attack by a career criminal who should NOT be on the streets:

Fatal stabbing of The murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina last month has sparked ongoing concerns about crime in the US.

A video released on Friday by the Charlotte Area Transit System shows Ms Zarutska seated on a train when she is stabbed from behind several times in what appears to be a random attack.

The suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr, is charged with first-degree murder. The graphic video has circulated on social media, attracting the attention of influencers, commentators and politicians.

Charlotte's mayor on Monday called the killing "a tragic failure by the courts and magistrates". She vowed to deploy more officers to public transit sites.Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina ignites crime debate

(...)
Republicans and right-wing commentators have raised questions about the role of the judicial system in the incident, including why Brown was free despite reportedly having an extensive criminal record.

He was convicted of armed robbery, felony larceny and break and enter, according to records obtained by CNN, and spent eight years in jail for robbery with a dangerous weapon. He also suffers from mental health issues and is homeless, according to media reports.

In her statement, Mayor Lyles said that a solution is needed "to address repeated offenders who do not face consequences for their actions and those who cannot get treatment for their mental illness and are allowed to be on the streets".

2) incident #2
Auburn professor stabbed to death while walking her dog in Alabama park; man charged with murder

Auburn professor stabbed to death while walking her dog in Alabama park; man charged with murder

A retired professor at Auburn University was stabbed to death over the weekend in a park near the Alabama college campus, according to Auburn Police and the university. A man has been arrested and charged in her murder.

Julie Gard Schnuelle, 59, was attacked Saturday morning in Auburn's Kiesel Park, which the city says is a large green space with a walking trail that stretches for just over two miles. She had gone to the park to walk her dog, which was later found unharmed, CBS News affiliate WRBL reported.

"College of Veterinary Medicine Professor Emerita Julie Gard Schnuelle, DVM, Ph.D., was killed Saturday, Sept. 6, in Kiesel Park in Auburn, Alabama.

(...)
Schnuelle had suffered injuries that indicated "the death was caused by an assault," Auburn Police said, and the county coroner told WRBL that evidence was consistent with trauma sustained from a sharp object, potentially a knife, according to the station. The coroner said the body would undergo a full autopsy exam, WRBL reported.

Auburn Police arrested Montgomery resident Harold Rashad Dabney, 28, in connection with the fatal stabbing on Sunday, the department said. He was charged with two counts of capital murder, including one for kidnapping and another for robbery, as he allegedly stole Schnuelle's Ford F-150 truck, which was parked in the area, to leave the scene after the attack, according to police.

This crime was NOT captured on video as was #1, but is still a terrible crime.

3) summation of weekend killings in Chicago

7 dead, 12 wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago, police say

At least seven people have been killed and 12 others have been wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago.

The ages of the victims range from 15 to 57.


Here are two of many incidents in this report:
At 3:46 a.m., in the 5500 block of West Thomas Street, police officers responded to a call of a burglary in progress involving a vehicle. Three suspects got into a sedan and fled south on Waller Avenue before intentionally crashing into two marked CPD squad cars near Waller and Chicago Avenue. One officer was pinned inside their vehicle and opened fire, shooting one of the suspects, who was taken to Stroger Hospital, where they were pronounced dead. One other suspect was arrested at the scene, but a third suspect escaped. Police recovered a gun that the third suspect discarded at the scene.
(...)

At 11:05 p.m., police were called to the Shell gas station at 45 N. Western Ave. to find a 21-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the head. A witness said two people exited a black sedan, shot the victim, got back in the car, and left. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Absolutely HORRIBLE. It is a heinous Crime, and no gun was used. He should NOT have been free out in the Public to do ANY Crime on the street or on public transport.

Sadly, she was safer in Ukraine. And I heard that her family wants her buried here in the USA, the land she LOVED.

What we learn:

The murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina last month has sparked ongoing concerns about crime in the US.

A video released on Friday by the Charlotte Area Transit System shows Ms Zarutska seated on a train when she is stabbed from behind several times in what appears to be a random attack.

The suspect, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr, is charged with first-degree murder. The graphic video has circulated on social media, attracting the attention of influencers, commentators and politicians. (...)

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein said he was "appalled" by the footage of Ms Zarutska's killing.

"We need more cops on the beat to keep people safe," the Democratic governor said on X, and called for the state legislature to pass a law enforcement package to "address vacancies in our state and local agencies so they can stop these horrific crimes and hold violent criminals accountable".

Republicans and right-wing commentators have raised questions about the role of the judicial system in the incident, including why Brown was free despite reportedly having an extensive criminal record.

He was convicted of armed robbery, felony larceny and break and enter, according to records obtained by CNN, and spent eight years in jail for robbery with a dangerous weapon. He also suffers from mental health issues and is homeless, according to media reports.

In her statement, Mayor Lyles said that a solution is needed "to address repeated offenders who do not face consequences for their actions and those who cannot get treatment for their mental illness and are allowed to be on the streets".
(...)

While declining to comment on the specifics of the case, Mecklenburg County District Attorney Spencer Merriweather outlined the challenges of holding defendants with mental health issues accountable for their actions.

In an interview with Axios, he said many are held in hospitals while courts wait for them to be mentally able to stand trial.


What we do not learn is how to best deal with those with severe mental issues who are also violent. We do not know how to best deal with mental illness to keep others relatively safe.

There was a case in VA where a man with mental issues died at a mental hospital; those law enforcement and mental hospital aides were charged with a crime. Fortunately, those charges were not pursued and the two taken to court were ultimately not prosecuted:

Posted 5:32 PM, Nov 01, 2024 and last updated 4:30 PM, Nov 02, 2024
DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. -- Dinwiddie County’s top prosecutor is moving to essentially drop the cases against the remaining two people charged in the death of Irvo Otieno.

https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news/charges-nolle-prossed-henrico-deputies-irvo-otieno-death-nov-1-2024

and
On March 6, 2023, 28-year-old Irvo Otieno died after he was restrained by Henrico County sheriff's deputies and hospital employees at Central State Hospital in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, near Petersburg. He was arrested on March 3 for a suspected breaking and entering, and was taken to the hospital three days later after he was found naked in his cell.[2] A total of ten people, seven deputies and three hospital employees, were charged with second-degree murder in connection with Otieno's death.[3] (...)

In June, the charges against two of the hospital workers were dropped, as their trial had been kept separate from the others and the footage did not provide strong evidence against them.[14][15]

Operation Arctic Frost: Senators Expose DOJ and FBI Misconduct in Targeting Trump and Allies

Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) have uncovered evidence of significant misconduct within the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under the Biden administration.

Their findings, detailed in a March 13, 2025, letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, reveal a politically motivated investigation—codenamed “Operation Arctic Frost”—designed to target former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their associates. This operation, launched in April 2022, raises serious questions about the integrity of federal law enforcement and its potential abuse as a tool of partisan warfare.

A Taxpayer-Funded Probe with Questionable Legality
According to whistleblower disclosures and unclassified FBI records made public by Grassley and Johnson, Operation Arctic Frost involved the seizure of government-issued cell phones previously used by Trump and Pence, extensive interviews across multiple states, and the issuance of over 50 subpoenas. The FBI accessed these devices—held by the Biden White House—without an initial warrant, relying instead on cooperation from the White House Counsel’s office under Dana Remus and Jonathan Su. Only after securing the phones in May 2022 did agents draft a search warrant to extract data, a sequence that suggests a “fish first, justify later” approach to evidence collection.

The scope of the investigation was staggering. Within weeks of its initiation on April 13, 2022, the FBI coordinated with 13 field offices, conducted dozens of interviews and spent approximately $16,000 in taxpayer funds over four days in June 2022 to pursue leads nationwide. Internal documents indicate that the probe, led by Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault—an official with a documented anti-Trump bias—was prioritized “over all other cases” in his branch, despite apparent violations of FBI protocols, including the “No Self-Approval Rule.” This rule prohibits supervisors from initiating and approving their own investigations, a safeguard Thibault allegedly bypassed.

Politics
Judge who reviewed James Comey's indictment was confused by prosecutor's handling of case, transcript shows


If there was any doubt that this is a POLITICAL move to try to exact REVENGE by Trump, who is famous for such things as petty politics by a sore loser, simply look at the FACTS. Now that he has some authority, Trump is trying to make life difficult for his biggest critics. I have not followed this case that closely, but I am sure the former prosecutor, Erik Siebert, resigned who originally handled this case, did NOT want to prosecute Comey. This was done to avoid missing the deadline as the statue of limitation was rapidly approaching.

The charges against Comey — which accuse him of lying in testimony he gave to the Senate in 2020 — mark an unprecedented step for the Justice Department, after President Trump publicly urged prosecutors to look into the ex-FBI leader that he fired in 2017 and sparred with for years.

In an unusual move, Comey's indictment was personally signed by Halligan, not a rank-and-file federal prosecutor. Halligan was sworn in on Monday, after days of upheaval in the U.S. attorney's office in Alexandria.

The former head of the office, Erik Siebert, announced his resignation on Friday following worries among his staff that he could be fired for failing to criminally charge another Trump adversary, New York Attorney General Letitia James. A day later, Mr. Trump announced Siebert had been fired, and posted a message suggesting Attorney General Pam Bondi should look into Comey, James and a third longtime Trump foil, Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-james-comey-indictment-confusion-trump/

This will ultimately prove to be an embarrassment to Trump and his DOJ. I think it should NOT have happened.

Just remember that Trump is better than Feeble Demented Old Joe and that Trump gets more done in one WEEK than Sleepy Senile Old Joe did in one FOUR YEARS, if you ignore the AutoPen.

Kamala has her book out, her memoirs of her failed 2024 campaign.

Kamala Harris’ Alternate Reality Book Tour

Harris took great pains to emphasize that the final outcome of the titular 107 days — the loss of every swing state and the popular vote — had been the result of her simple lack of time. (...)

Had she had more time, maybe, she could’ve sealed the deal. It’s true, everyone now agrees, that President Joe Biden should never have run for reelection in the first place. But it’s also true that much of Harris’ best polling was at the campaign’s outset, and arguably began slipping once Americans had gotten to see more of the candidate. (...)

Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, which the Biden-Harris administration had aided with billions in arms sales and transfers to many Democrats’ dismay, did not receive a mention during the event (protesters interrupted an earlier talk that night). But the party’s deep divisions could no longer be ignored after audience members emerged from the event to a crowd of pro-Palestinian demonstrators. “Harris, Harris, you can’t hide,” chanted the protesters, bearing Palestinian flags and signs noting the quantity of arms sales and transfers Biden had approved. “Your legacy is genocide.”

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/09/26/kamala-harris-book-tour-new-york-dispatch-00581004

Kamala has never acknowledged her role in propping up a FAILED Leader who SHOULD not have RUN for re-election in 2024. She failed to get him to change his mind to do so, even though she was there to SEE THE OBVIOUS signs of BOTH his mental and physical decline. Those deficits were evident to me and many others in 2020 and YET she failed to acknowledge them or act upon them in 2024.

This book should be titled "107 Reasons Why I LOST the Election in 2024."

Kamala is a failure, was over-hyped, and is a product of the WOKE and DEI policies. She is not and was not competent. We can watch her and her silly cackle ride off into the sunset, hopefully to leave the national stage for good. AND GOOD Riddance, Kamala. We can avoid hearing her dispensing more word salad. Even Trump doing a stream of consciousness musing is more coherent than any Kamala word salad.

I want to know who authorized Biden to Debate Trump in June of 2024. That event convinced even the biggest skeptics (of his decline) and even Biden's most ardent supporters (outside Jill and Hunter) of the absolute RIDICULOUS attempt to prop up Feeble Senile Old Joe for a re-election bid.

and more:

Politics
5 takeaways from Kamala Harris' new book about her sprint for the presidency (...)

2. She doesn't directly say that Biden shouldn't have run for a second term (...)

Harris doesn't make any comment in the book on whether Biden should have run for a second term at all. She defends his mental capacity to serve as president but writes that Biden's staff mismanaged his fatigue and worsened the issue.

But Harris acknowledges in the book that it was "recklessness" to leave the decision of whether Biden should drop out to the Bidens themselves. "It should have been more than a personal decision."

In an interview on MSNBC Monday night, Harris admitted, "I have and had a certain responsibility that I should have followed through on. … When I talk about the recklessness, as much as anything, I'm talking about myself."

Harris notes that throughout her run, she struggled to distance herself from Biden and his legacy — like when she told ABC's The View that she wouldn't have done anything different than Biden in their years in office.

Now we learn that another apparent nut job, or crazy person, as I call them, kills people from a boat as he shoots up a dock area in North Carolina. As of now, I am not sure authorities have arrested this crazed person.

As I said elsewhere, the actions of a crazy person proves little, other than that they are CRAZY.

Also, as I have said already, in America, we have:
1) too many guns;
2) too many guns in the hands of criminals;
3) too many guns in the hands of crazy people, who are mentally deranged.

Unreal Scenes In U.S: Gunman On Boat Shoots Dead Several, Injures Many In North Carolina
A horrific mass shooting occurred on the evening of September 27 at the American Fish Company restaurant on the Southport Yacht Basin in North Carolina. A gunman on a boat opened fire on patrons at the waterfront bar, resulting in three people killed and multiple others injured. The shooter fled the scene via the Intracoastal Waterway, triggering a massive multi-agency manhunt. The U.S. Coast Guard later detained a person of interest at a public boat ramp in nearby Oak Island. Watch this video to know more.

NORTH CAROLINA 3 killed, several injured in Southport, NC after active shooter reported, officials say

Three people were killed and at least six were injured in Southport after someone on a boat fired into a crowd at an outdoor restaurant at the marina, Police Chief Todd Coring said Saturday night.

ChyAnn Ketchum, Southport’s spokesperson, initially told The Wilmington Star News and WECT that eight were injured at the shooting at Southport’s Yacht Basin. At a news conference after midnight, Coring updated the number of injured to “possibly six” people who were sent to hospitals.
