INGERSOLL: You Can Take Her Murals Down, But Iryna Zarutska’s Eyes Will Forever Glare At Your Incompetence

Greetings, Dear Reader,

If it bleeds, it leads, eh?

No slap and tickle today. Right for the guts.

IRYNA ZARUTSKA FOREVER GLARING AT ‘INCOMPETENCE’

Decarlos Brown is unlikely to see the inside of a state court despite murdering Iryna Zarutska on camera in front of witnesses and then saying “got that white girl.”

Lillian Ludwig was out for an early afternoon walk in Nashville when a stray bullet struck her in the head and killed her instantly. She likely had no idea what hit her, it was just lights out. Her killer, Shaquile Taylor, 29, fired a gun at a passing car and missed.

Two years ago, Noemi Guzman dumped accelerant on her father and tried to set him ablaze. Later, she broke into a church and threatened a priest with a knife. Recently, in a nightmare scenario, she abducted a toddler in a grocery store and stabbed him.

Police, thank the good Lord, shot and killed her before she could inflict any fatal damage. The images from the police bodycam are wild. 

These cases all have a key similarity.

They have enjoyed a judgement of “incompetence” by a licensed psychologist. In the case of Zarutska, Brown was declared “incompetent” after the murder. He had previously been convicted of 14 other crimes and released into the public. Suddenly, after committing his 15th and worst violent crime, he was declared not mentally capable of standing trial.

Guzman was declared incompetent for the attempted murder by arson and attempted murder of a priest, then released. Taylor was declared incompetent for shooting at three people in a car and released mere months before killing Ludwig. His defense even attempted to get an incompetence judgment for the Ludwig killing, but thankfully the judge wasn’t having it.

I read an interesting post recently about why names for things are important. The justice system, it concluded, is a bad name for the institution meant to provide safety to the public.

“If we understood that, we wouldn’t care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse,” wrote X user Devin Erickson. 

In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not mitigating factors. They are the opposite,” he concluded.

We all understand this.  We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act.  Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn’t, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to.  We’ve known for centuries, if not millennia, that it’s the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again.  And we’ve known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that’s 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again.  The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a “justice” system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you.  Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense.

When a concerned DeKalb County, Georgia, grandmother locked eyes with Olaolukitan Adon Abel, he was attempting to rape the corpse of 40 year-old Lauren Bullis. 

Abel had followed her while she was walking her dog, shot her six times in the face, then stabbed her. And that was the third act of violence in just a six-hour span.

He had shot another woman 14 times outside a restaurant at 1 am that same morning, killing her. Then he randomly shot a sleeping homeless man. Then he got in the car and drove around until he spotted Bullis around 6:30 am.

Friends described Bullis, an employee of DHS, as kind, warm, compassionate, and highly engaged in her community and workplace.

Tiffany Williams recounted to local media how her frightened daughter begged her not to go outside when the shooting started.

“I heard the shooting, but I’m not thinking, because as a mother and I’m seeing her lying there, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to help her,'” Tiffany Williams said.

Williams, also a grandmother, locked eyes with and approached Abel, who saw her and fled. He was caught by police a short time later using license plate surveillance technology.

Reporters eventually found that Abel had been ejected and banned from the city of Savannah. He had sexually assaulted four women in a single day. The defense on the case managed to bundle all four assaults into a “first offender” category.

They sentenced him to 48 months, but only made him serve 120 days. He paid no restitution to the victims. He was required to do counseling and otherwise released into the public.

Seven months later, he (allegedly) went on a shooting and raping spree.

Making matters worse, Abel has only been an American for four years. He was naturalized under rapid conditions administered by the Biden administration in 2022.

I don’t have a degree in psychology or a fancy degree in governance, but I don’t need either to see the results of this “system” and call it incompetence.

The so-called “elites” running our public safety systems believe it’s perfectly fine to release full blown demons to walk among us in public. They believe that’s “justice” in a post-George Floyd world.

Well, forced to look at all this carnage, the mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, is fed up.

He believes we should do something about it … namely stop painting murals of Iryna Zarutska’s face.

They don’t want to look at her eyes, forever 23 years-old, forever open.

Like all the others, like Bullis and Ludwig, glaring eternally at the grotesque flaws in our system of justice.
