The Image That Killed The Democrats In 2026 And Beyond

At minimum they need to be exposed. Every one should sit down and watch the video of the murder and should be grilled by the press. First question: how do you sleep at night?
Yeah, let's expose them. But don't hold accountable the officials that gave Ghislaine Maxwel a cushy new prison to relax in and who gave Epstein the legal deal of the decade. And by all means, don't expose anybody else who participated in Epstein's illegal adventures.
 
More fallout from a weak judicial system. But I don't think its as deadly a blow as the author. People vote for this crap.

The dude had been arrested 14 times and released.

And not a word for the liberal media. NYT is quick to lead with Penny and others, but when its one of their own, crickets

===========================================================

"And just like that, it's over for the Dems in the 2026 midterms. Maybe even the 2028 general election. Maybe this is even the final nail in their creaky, splintering, mentally ill, Marxist coffin.

Right now, they're trying to ignore it, the way they tried to pretend Hunter Biden's laptop didn't exist back in 2020. They were successful enough that time to push their vote machine over the finish line in Biden/Harris's favor, but that won't happen this time. This story, this image, is already out there.

Still, they're trying to ignore it, hoping it goes away:

The only explanation I've seen anywhere is, "Oh, it was never covered nationally because it was only a local story." Sure. Like George Floyd's overdose in police custody was only a local story. Good luck with that dodge, lefties.

In all fairness to Democrats, their policies have made this situation so common that it may well have disappeared into the din. A violent lunatic with fourteen previous arrests under his belt but who still freely roamed the streets randomly and viciously stabbed a young woman on the train, killing her"

The murder occurred over two weeks ago, and they had every reason to believe the "local crime story" was as dead as the beautiful young victim."




It happened on Trump's watch, 'member? How is this the demz fault? It isn't. 🤔😏

From your O.P.:

"And just like that, it's over for the Dems in the 2026 Midterm Election"

Why would you fall for nonsense like that?

PJ Media as a source....

Pretends to care about sources while citing "some randos opinion" as a source LOL
 
The primary way by which Fox News avoids negative Trump news is by filling their time slots showing crimes committed by non-whites. When they run out of those, car wrecks seem to be high up on the agenda.
What would be the coverage had the murder been of a woman who looked like Jasmine Crocket by one who looked like Charlie Kirk?
 
They're only able to get away with it because as far as I can see, liberals don't really have a satisfying answer for explaining or solving the absurdly disproportionate rates of black crime and public disorder, particularly in major cities. Republicans don't have a solution either of course, but they're at least willing to pander to the most primal sensibilities of people who are concerned about a very real phenomenon.

In this way, the regime gets away with allowing trashy public services, unnecessarily high crime, and deteriorating infrastructure by either 1. denying there's a problem or 2. deflecting the problem onto vapid racial grievance. The loser in this discourse (as always) are the middle class who are caught between the hammer and anvil of the violent, low social trust permanent underclass and the safe and uncaring rich.
Liberals always have excuses for the negative actions of non-whites.
 
The sources with your so called integrity chose to supress this story. Can't supress the news anymore try as they might.
According to @Gaius46, showing stories like this is "sensationalism".
 
He refuses to actually look at the shit he does support.

I mean some partisan hack wrote some total nonsense. I'm not sure what's the point in starting a thread on it?

The problem we're having is we went from staid news organizations, to unqualified untrained individuals sitting at a computer writing hyperbolic instantaneous messages to get clicks & likes, generating income.

Doesn't matter to them as long as the one "reporting" tells the lies.

Live video of a stabbing is nonsense until the NYTIMES reports on it?
 
According to @Gaius46, showing stories like this is "sensationalism".
Yes it is if the mere fact that it's newsworthy is because the murder was caught on camera as you stated. That is literally the ONLY thing differentiating this murder from the other 50 that happened that same day.
 
Evidence they chose to suppress the story? As opposed to their being little significant news in such a story?
The murder happened several weeks ago. Even after video was released, no story. Oblivious or complicit? Same result. Really sad that a random unprovoked murder is not significant.
 
So you liked the state institutional system of warehousing people without their consent? Do you have any idea how inhumane those places were?
Some people are too crazy to be on the streets. They will hurt themselves or others. Completely disconnected from reality. Some need in-house care to get better.

Reagan pitched them to save money but said it was about their freedom.

The homeless problem here in California expanded massively when he kicked them out. Not sure how much better starving in the street was than being in a nice warm hospital with three meals a day and a shower and medical supervision.
 
Pretty dumbass thing to say.

No you and others seem to be sure he was convicted of violent crimes and was released before he should have been and use that as evidence that the government of Charlotte failed in it's duty to it's citizens.

I am asking you for evidence to support your beliefs. Arrest and conviction records would be a good start. Failing that news reports that detail the exact offenses and dispositions would also work.

Or you are just assuming things and answered me in the idiotic way you because you have no evidence?

Mecklenburg County court and jail records show Brown has been arrested in connection with 14 cases spanning more than a decade. His history includes convictions for felony larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon and communicating threats—leading to a six-year prison sentence in 2015 for incidents dating to 2013 and 2014. He was released in 2020.
Within months of his release, Brown was charged with assaulting his sister, and according to WSOC-TV, even Brown's mother has blamed the courts for allowing her son to be out in the community.
By July, a judge had ordered a competency evaluation, but it wasn't completed and Brown remained free until the fatal stabbing. After his arrest in Zarutska's killing, prosecutors filed a motion for another competency evaluation.

Let’s see…


This happened in August of 2025, in North Carolina, where both the state and Charlotte voted heavily for Trump. They also have an open carry policy.


There were at least two people sitting right next to her, and yet you’re telling me no one did anything? Where were the police—or even the National Guard—for that matter? Charlotte is ranked higher than L.A. or Chicago when it comes to crime, so why wasn’t Trump ordering the National Guard into Charlotte instead of constantly pointing to L.A. and Chicago? Isn’t this more on Trump and MAGA rather than trying to pin it on Democrats, who in fact lost the 2025 election?


One could even argue that had Democrats won, this crime might not have happened at all. So how do you justify putting this on Democrats?

After what they did to Penny you’re crying why no one jumped in? Wow.
 
You know what I can’t find in any of more than a dozen articles I’ve read about this case? When and for what Brown was arrested for prior to this case and what resulted in convictions vs getting the charges dropped. There are a few details in some of them like that he served 6 years for armed robbery, that he assaulted his sister at some point, and one mentioned that his most recent arrest was about a year ago for misusing the 911 system, a misdemeanor for which the maximum penalty is only 120 days in jail, so which would not have prevented him being out now even if the max was given. Clearly for at least one arrest he wasn’t just released because he was convicted and served jail time but without information on the others, how are we supposed to really judge this case?

If the rest of them were all things like misusing 911, then there’s nothing that really could have prevented him from being out. If they were violent crimes besides the one he actually served time for then that is a serious problem. The fact that none of these articles seem to feel the need to give us this information is a serious problem with every journalist who has actually reported on this crime, including the one in the OP.
In a perfect world, just one violent crime akin to armed robbery outs you from society forever. If I had my way, they would all be dropped on an island to live amongst themselves like the movie "No Escape"

What do you expect? News services to cover every murder in the U.S.? Google says there is 6.8 murders per day in the US. Let's see, at 1.5 minutes each that would be about 10 minutes. Hour news program, that's about 25% of the program (allowing commercials and other junk).

If Fox wants to avoid talking about stupid shit Trump did and cover miscellaneous murders, let them have at it. But, for me, no thanks. I'd rather have news that affects me. Like what unconstitutional acts did Trump carry out today.
