I’m sure that you’ve all seen what happened with the murder of a Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, recently...

The problem is that the accused killer, who said, “I got that white girl,” after stabbing the young woman, was someone whom police call a “frequent flier.”... 

He and Iryna are both symbols, now, but of very different things.

• Iryna is a symbol of the horrors that can befall someone. 
• The accused killer? A symbol of everything wrong with our system, and the truth is that the government will either step up and address the problem, or regular people will...

He was walking around despite his mental health issues being well-known to the authorities.

• And he was just released from his previous arrest a short time before this brutal murder, with a written promise to show up to court. 
• No bail, no requirement to seek mental health treatment. 
• Nope, just a pinky swear that he’d be in court at the appointed time...
