Oh, buckle up for the heartbreaking and horrific saga of Iryna Zarutska’s last day on earth, August 22, 2025, Charlotte light rail, a ride straight into the jaws of reality. Stabbed to death by one Decarlos Brown Jr., she became yet another grim statistic in the kind of story that repeats itself because people keep ignoring the obvious. Call it cruel irony, call it Darwin Award material, but it sure wasn’t random.
Let’s talk profiling, the taboo that dare not speak its name. Most of us do it, but only the brave admit it. Profiling is nothing more than using your eyes and brain in tandem, noticing who looks like trouble before they prove it. The FBI showed how well it worked until the pearl-clutchers shut them down. Local cops tried too, but politicians couldn’t stomach the optics. Why? Because profiling works so well it blows their little equality sermons to pieces. Spot the twitchy, erratic, shady character, and congratulations, you just improved your survival odds. Shocking, I know.
But poor Iryna, she believed the bedtime story that “we’re all the same.” She saw a disheveled stranger on the train and assumed she’d be fine. Wrong. Dead wrong. When you’re a young, minimum-wage worker stuck on public transit, reality isn’t a TED Talk. It’s a gauntlet. And if you think being a smiling optimist will shield you, reality will remind you otherwise with cold steel.
Here’s where it gets really absurd: our politicians, the same ones who live behind armed security, demand that you face this world defenseless. They ram through “commonsense” gun laws , translation: rules designed to make you the easiest possible target. But the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision (2022) torched that charade, declaring once and for all that the right to bear arms doesn’t end at your front door. “May-issue” permitting schemes, “proper cause” tests , gone. The Court called it what it was: unconstitutional nonsense. Of course, the lower courts and blue-state politicians are still stomping their feet, scribbling new restrictions and hoping no one notices. But the law of the land is clear: your right to defend yourself exists, even if your governor wishes it didn’t.
So let’s be blunt. Arm yourself. Train. Stay aware. Because when the knife is inches from your ribcage, the politicians, the activists, the hashtags, they won’t save you. The only thing between you and a headline is whether you had the sense to take responsibility for your own survival.
Iryna didn’t. She trusted the fairy tale. And she paid the price for a culture that tells people to ignore instincts, reject profiling, and obey leaders who profit from their helplessness. Political correctness isn’t just stupid, it’s lethal.
The bottom line: reality doesn’t care about your virtue signals. Either wake up, profile, prepare, and defend yourself… or keep praying the utopian dream will hold while predators, spoiler alert: it won’t!
