Ed Morrissey:
Why are media outlets refusing to cover this story? For the same reason that they rely on cooked crime data: narratives. The case of Iryna Zarutska reminds us of the costs of leaving dangerous psychopaths and criminals on the street. The abominable public-safety conditions in America's cities provide evidence of the failure of progressives who have controlled them for decades. The success of Trump's intervention in DC re-teaches the lessons learned in the 1990s about enforcing the law and keeping dangerous people in prison.
A decade or more of apologizing to criminals gave us Decarlos Brown and took from us Iryna Zarutska. That's the real news, that's the real truth, and the AP and NYT would rather say nothing than report it.
So yes, maybe conservatives are pouncing. But so are violent felons like Decarlos Brown, and progressive mayors, prosecutors, and governors are abetting it while the Protection Racket Media conspires to cover it up. How long will we allow them to get away with it?
