President Trump Calls For The Death Penalty For Suspect In Charlotte Light Rail Stabbing

[Conservative Angle]

​

President Trump has made it clear where he stands when it comes to the future of suspected light rail murderer Decarlos Brown Jr.

As the WLT Report previously covered, Decarlos Brown Jr. was arrested for viciously murdering 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska inside a light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In response to the brutal stabbing, President Trump called Decarlos an “animal” and called for him to receive the death penalty.

Fox News provided furtehr context on President Trump’s statement:

President Donald Trump called for Decarlos Brown Jr. to face the death penalty for the alleged murder of Iryna Zarutska on Wednesday.

Trump made the statement on social media, saying the trial for suspect Decarlos Brown Jr. should be “quick.”

“The ANIMAL who so violently killed the beautiful young lady from Ukraine, who came to America searching for peace and safety, should be given a ‘Quick’ (there is no doubt!) Trial, and only awarded THE DEATH PENALTY,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “There can be no other option!”

Zarutska’s slaying has brought about heavy criticism of Democrats, who critics accuse of adopting soft-on-crime laws that allow violent criminals to roam the streets. Trump argued Monday that the victim’s “blood is on the hands of the Democrats who refuse to put bad people in jail.”

Trump also placed blame for Zarutska’s killing on former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who is now running for the Senate in battleground North Carolina in a crucial 2026 showdown that may determine if Republicans keep control of the chamber.

The Charlotte killing came amid Trump’s focus this summer on spotlighting horrific crimes in Democrat-controlled cities as he moves federal law enforcement into urban areas.

AG Pam Bondi has also hinted that the DOJ would seek the death penalty for Decarlos.

EC reported on Bondi’s remarks fully:

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed on Tuesday, September 8th to pursue the “maximum penalty” against a man charged with murdering a 23-year-old a Ukrainian refugee..

Iryna Zarutska was repeatedly stabbed from behind by 34-year-old DeCarlos Brown Jr. last month while riding a light rail train in the southern city of Charlotte, North Carolina.

“We will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act of violence. He will never again see the light of day as a free man,” Bondi said in a statement. “Brown is charged with one federal count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system, and faces life in prison or the death penalty,” the statement said.

“This monster should have been locked up, and Iryna should still be alive, but Democrat politicians, liberal judges and weak prosecutors would rather virtue signal than lock up criminals and protect their communities,” White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said.
