Liberal Foundations Spent Millions To Shape the 'Soft-on-Crime' Policies Now Blamed for Freeing Career Criminal Who Brutally Murdered Ukrainian Refugee

 Two left-wing philanthropic organizations, the MacArthur Foundation and Arnold Ventures, have significantly influenced criminal justice reform policies in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their initiatives are now being scrutinized following a violent incident involving Decarlos Brown, a career criminal who murdered a Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska. This incident raises concerns about the effectiveness of the implemented reforms and their role in public safety.

• Background on Decarlos Brown: Brown had 14 previous arrests, including serious charges like armed robbery, and had served time in prison. Despite his criminal history and recent violent behavior, he was released earlier this year without bond or monitoring.

• Foundation Influence: The MacArthur Foundation and Arnold Ventures have spent millions in Mecklenburg County aiming to reform the criminal justice system, focusing on reducing jail populations and racial disparities.

• Funding and Assessment Tools: The MacArthur Foundation contributed $3.8 million to Mecklenburg's Criminal Justice Services, while Arnold Ventures provided $18 million to a think tank training judges on their Public Safety Assessment tool. This tool is used to determine whether to hold defendants in jail or release them.

• Public Safety Assessment Critique: The effectiveness of Arnold’s Public Safety Assessment has been criticized, as it has recommended releasing individuals later charged with violent crimes. Critics argue it fails to adequately account for the risks posed by violent offenders.

• Release of Brown: Brown, despite his previous arrests and mental health issues, was released by Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes based on the Public Safety Assessment, which evaluated him favorably. This decision has been described as reckless by some, including Republican lawmakers.

• Victim's Background: Iryna Zarutska was a Ukrainian refugee who fled the war in her home country. Her murder has sparked outrage and intense scrutiny of the judicial system's decisions.

• Response to the Incident: Mecklenburg County officials and law enforcement are facing backlash. The case has drawn attention to the perceived failures in the criminal justice system, with calls for accountability from lawmakers and community members.

• Judicial Perspectives: Judge Roy Wiggins, overseeing Brown's murder case, has acknowledged the utility of the Public Safety Assessment, while also noting issues surrounding repeat offenders.

The tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska by Decarlos Brown has highlighted the potential dangers of recent criminal justice reforms in Charlotte, driven by the MacArthur Foundation and Arnold Ventures. Many are questioning the effectiveness and risk assessment of tools used to manage offenders like Brown, especially given his violent history and mental health struggles. This incident serves as a catalyst for broader discussions on the balance between rehabilitating offenders and ensuring public safety.

"On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease."
