We have all seen the video of the unprovoked subway attack of the Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska, in Charlotte, N.C.

There is natural outrage over a serial criminal not in jail. The soft on crime policies that plague our country fuel the divide between the parties.

One thing I noticed is that this attack didn’t happen in a dark alley. She didn’t die alone.

I saw an extended version of the video, showing her after the attack. More than five other people were in her close proximity. Nobody came to her aid. Nobody!

The killer got away with no interference. And the victim curled into a ball with no one at her side.

Those people are cowards, and I’m calling them out. Shame on you!
