Raleigh, NC (AP) – Pictures of a deadly first first of a juvenile Ukrainian woman who was killed in a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina, triggered the mayor of the city near the city’s mayor.
The loudest criticism of the democratic mayor VI Lyles comes from Republicans and Personalities of the Make America Great Again Movement, which shows the murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska how the Democrats for people with penalty register are too cushioned. Some Democrats who want to lose LYLES also say that their reaction is not sufficient, and for a few last week, President Donald Trump’s predictions would draw attention to the case and employ it to justify the takeover of law enforcement authorities in democratically guided cities.
Lyles is the severe favorite in the democratic primary school, which has led North Carolina shift in recent decades. But the killing drives Trump’s difficult crime campaign when he tries to take over cities and states that are led by his political opponents. Trump and his allies are also given a way to appeal to the American public, since they arrange the measures enriched by Democrats to combat bias in the police and courts, even though the nationwide violent crime has decreased.
Trump has not explicitly criticized the mayor, but said that the victim “lies blood on the hands of the Democrats who refuse to bring bad people into prison”.
A reaction to a train that stabbed death
Records show that the suspect in Zarutska’s death Decarlos Brown Jr. had driven through the criminal justice system for more than a decade. Brown had 14 earlier cases in Mecklenburg County, where Charlotte is located, including five years with a hazardous weapon due to robbery. He was briefly signed for schizophrenia and was arrested at the beginning of this year after he had repeatedly called out a hospital in 911. The Ministry of Justice submitted charges against Brown on Tuesday.
In an explanation after killing on August 22nd and Brown’s arrest, Lyles said:
“We will never be arrested from topics such as homelessness and mental health,” she wrote.
Lyles’ statement was criticized, but the crime drew more national attention after the video of the deadly stitch over the weekend became public. Lyles could not be reached for a comment on Tuesday.
After the publication of the video, Lyles thanked the news agencies for not broadcasting the film material of the attack “Out of Respect for INNA’s family”.
Maga, GOP reacts to pictures
The online counter reaction was quick and violent. Figures such as the billionaire Elon Musk, activist Charlie Kirk and the conservative podcasters Matt Walsh and Jack Posobiec have actively posted the case.
Some critics have moved into the breed and found that the suspect is black and accused democratic leaders of being too racist. Lyles, who is Charlotte’s first black mayor, is not the first black democratic guide to be criticized by Trump and his allies because the President attacked cities with black mayors for federal intervention.
On Tuesday, the White House published a video from Trump in the Oval Office, which dealt with Zarutska’s case. Trump accused Democrats of saying goodbye to politics, releasing the criminals too easily, and said the most hazardous cities are led by Democrats. Most larger cities in the country have democratic mayors.
“In Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw the results of these guidelines when a 23-year-old woman who came from Ukraine here met her bloody end in a public train,” said Trump, adding that she was killed by someone who grazed freely after 14.
The reaction to the video image of violence was also filled to other upcoming elections, including the race for the US Senate next year. Michael Whatley, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee that runs for the seat, accused the former governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina, a democrat who entered the race, the “direct responsibility” for signing an executive regulation in 2020 to study solutions to combat the breed bias in the criminal justice system.
However, the order of 2020 was not authorized to release state prisoners.
Coopers campaign on Tuesday accused Whatley of Lies, while at the same time promoting Cooper’s work history, which also contained time as a Attorney General.
Cooper “spent his career spent on pursuing violent criminals and drug dealers, increasing the punishments for violence against law enforcement and keeping thousands of criminals off the street and behind bars,” says his campaign in an e -mail.
Headlights during the primary elections
Lyles was still seen as the leader for democratic nomination and re -election.
Four other lesser known candidates have challenged Lyles. One of them, Brendan Maginnis, mentioned the sample in his public security plan of August 29 on August 29 and said that he would prevent similar tragedies on Charlotte’s Light Rail. Tigerress Sydney Acute McDaniel said Lyles was a “day too late and a dollar short”.
In the parliamentary elections in November, the winner will take over against the Republican Terrie Donovan, a real estate agent who was not exposed to a main administrator in the strongly democratic city and had already made her top problem before the murder. Donovan reminded the people on Tuesday that after the publication of an explanation for the case, she was not on the ballot.
“This tragedy must serve as a wake -up call for all of us to better demand from our chosen officials,” said Donovan in a statement.
Charlotte’s politics shifted over the past generation when the population of North Carolina, especially in urban areas, in which wealthy transplants outside the state of high-tech workplaces were not necessarily attracted to social problems by the conservative agenda of the Republicans.
In the city, 42% of voters are registered as Democrats, 17% are registered as Republicans. Almost 40% are not connected, but can coordinate in the democratic or republican primaries.
A long -time mayor, never seriously challenged
Lyles became mayor in 2017 after he was shaped by a man after the death of a man, shaped by a man by a man by a man after the death of a man.
Lyles has never been seriously questioned since winning her first term when she defeated her Republican rival with 59% of the votes. She won in 2023 with 74% of the parliamentary elections.
On the behind schedule Monday, Lyles published an open letter on social media, in which Zarutska’s death was described as “tragic failure of the courts and judges”.
“Our police officers only arrest the people to leave them free, which undermines our ability to protect our community and ensure security,” added Lyles. “We need a cross -party solution to fix repeated criminals that have no consequences for their actions and those who do not receive treatment for their mental illnesses and be on the street.”
