Speaker 1 (00:03):
From major events to local headlines. This is Charleston's Morning
News on ninety four to three WSC. Now back to
Kelly and Blaze.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
In the federal government now going after the stabbing suspect
in neighboring North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
The man accused of murdering a Ukrainian refugee on a
Charlotte light rail train is now facing federal charges. US
attorney from the District of North Carolina, Russ Ferguson, confirms
de Carlos Brown Junior is charged with committing an act
causing a death on a mass transportation system. The thirty
four year old already faces a first degree murder charge
(00:41):
in North Carolina State court for allegedly stabbing twenty three
year old Arena Era Zubrutska on August twenty second.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
The federal crime we have is because it happened on
a light rail system and because Congress has decided that
that is essential to society. So we took the time
to find that statue, do some research on that statute.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
So this is interesting, this case, it's horrific. First of all,
why it's taken so long, excuse me, for the propaganda
press to actually talk about it. Have you seen the
full video? They just release more of it, and it
is horrific.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
What points what is most horrific, of course, is the stabbing.
The people around though that did nothing to help this
girl is unbelievable to me.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, I know, and people are saying that we don't
know what.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
They did, so well, you can see in the video
they did nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, but the video, I mean so well, they got
out of the immediate area. I mean, but you don't
know what they did, if they were going for help
or what they were doing.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
They didn't go to her aid whatsoever? Is my point?
I mean, if I see someone, are you saying maybe
they didn't realize she was stabbed because there was no
visible blood.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I'm saying, you know what, let's concentrate on the guy
who did the stabbing.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well we so let's get into that. So the federal
they're treating this as if it's some you know, overreach
for the federal government to be involved in this because
it is a city crime. But it happened as well,
it's a.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Murder, so it's a capital crime. Well, and then it
happened on you know, a transportation system, so the federal
government found a way to go in there and charge
this guy because they said they don't trust the prosecutor
in Charlotte, and they don't trust the process in Charlotte,
and that they're going to do what they can to
protect Charlotte even despite itself politically. And the Democrats, you know,
(02:46):
one of them said, well, we can't arrest everybody. If
you look and see the judge who let this guy go,
and he's a repeat offender.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Fourteen times, and I've heard even higher, I know, I've heard.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Twenty two really is what I heard.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Really, it's been jostling between ten and fourteen. Twenty two
is the highest I've heard yet, breaking and entering violent robbery.
He was released on cashless bail, but.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
The judge that he went before there is no record
of her even belonging to the bar, so she's not
even a lawyer. I mean, it's you know, these criminals
are out of control. And the Democrats once again the
eighty twenty issue. If eighty percent of people are once
out of the issue in twenty percent on the other side,
the Democrats are always on the twenty percent side, So
(03:36):
they're acting like the right wing media is trying to
blow this up. Well, I mean, it's a pretty damn
big story. It should be, and that this guy was
repeatedly let go and they could have held him in
custody and this never would have happened is a pretty
damn big story. And it's a stain on the Democrats
once again, that's why they don't like it. And you
(03:59):
won't hear him mention of it in the mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, and they're attempting to say this is another you know,
takeover of Tromp. They're politicizing this as if it's a
Democrat city versus a Republican you know, president. And the
US Attorney actually responded to that if.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
This was a political grandstand, there would be an opposite
side to this is the opposite side. Let's allow murders
on our light rail. Is the opposite side, Let's let
people out of state prison so they can commit other crimes.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I mean, it makes a good point.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
And the reason the Feds went after him is the
maximum penalty for the federal crime is life in prison
or the.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Death penalty right his life.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And so they want to make an example of this
guy as well. They should. And if you've ever been
on that train, you wouldn't expect, you know. I was
on there one time when I was the only Me
and my son were the only ones on there, coming
back from a basketball game, and we stopped at a
few places along the way on the way back, and
we got on and we were by ourselves. And so
(04:58):
I have enough of a big city instinct where I'm like,
this is not.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Cool, right, being completely alone.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Being completely alone, and you're stopping and anybody can get
on that thing and they see that it's empty, right,
But that's not this case. And all the rest of
the times I was on there, you're not sitting there
looking around thinking that, ah, I better protect myself and
something could happen in any moment. I mean, it's just
not that kind of environment on that train normally. But
(05:28):
now I guess that it.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Is everywhere, literally everywhere. The situational awareness that every single
person listening right now should have. I mean, how I
don't know what else needs to be said. There's it's
so concerning to me the amount of people I see
walk around. I don't care how big, tall, small, old, young,
(05:51):
I mean, people are not situationally aware. I've seen in
my whole life and I can't understand it. I really can't.
And now more than ever, when we've seen our country
invaded over the last several years, we don't know who's
in our country. And that doesn't even matter that part
of it. Take it away. There are bad people in
the world.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, well, this guy was from this country, so this
wasn't some illegal alien. This is a guy known to
local authorities. He's been through the court system, and he's
a repeat offender. And now they're introducing race to the case.
Oh it's because he killed a white girl. Hey, I
thought you were all for Ukraine and this poor girl, just.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The Ukraine color refugee.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Escapes Ukraine and comes here and gets murdered.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
What race?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What an embarrassment for the United States of America, an
embarrassment for Charlotte In, an embarrassment for the Democrats, and
a tragedy.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Beg every single person listening to get your face out
of your phones and be more situationally aware.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
But there's no way she could know that this was coming.
Even being situationally aware of what like, you're gonna like
you can't keep your eyes on everybody around you constantly.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
There are many things that you can do Michael Blaze,
Are you serious? When you get on a train, you
could be the last. You could sit in a corner
where you can see everybody on that train, who comes
on and off, who's sitting in front of you. You
can make sure to give space if there is enough
space on a train to not be sitting so close
to the person that could actually have hands on you
(07:26):
and reach out to you. There are many things. Oh,
you come on, be situationally aware. There's no way to
having your face and your phone other than what common
sense stuff in my mind. But I see that a
lot of what you do not walk around this way.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
So what should she have done differently?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, I'm not going to sit here in this specific
case and and try to Monday morning quarterback. And I
think that that's horrific to It's just I just told
you the ways that I would have been in that situation.
I would have sat on that train with not someone
sitting behind me, and I would have sat on that train.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You don't have the choice to get on a train
and like keep a six foot buffer area around you.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It depends maybe sometimes if you have the ability to
do so. I mean, these aren't things that are that
should even be questioned or controversial in any way. I mean,
you talk to anybody who teaches classes about this. I mean,
this is I don't know, all right, well, we have.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
To wrap things up. But there's no way that she
could have seen that coming. I mean, he literally was
sitting there, all innocent, did not look like a threat
at all, and springs up and starts stabbing her.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
What.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
How can you prevent that from happening? You can't. So
the only way to prevent that from.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Happening face the only way, this is my point, is
all I'm saying. Of Course, no one would want to
imagine ever in the world that someone was going to
be evil. Sadly, the only way we have evil people
in the world.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The only way this could have been prevented was for
the court system that he's been through multiple times to
have done something about his criminality and take him off
the street. It's not the victim's fault. Appreciate you listening
on this Wednesday morning. Hope you're doing well this in morning. So,
according to some researchers, Americans are fat because of global warming.
Of course, a new British study shows that global warming
(09:20):
is impacting America's sweet tooth. Climate scientists at the University
of Southampton say as temperatures rise, so does consumption of
sugary drinks and desserts. In the United States, researchers found
that Americans, especially those with less education and money, are
consuming more than one hundred million pounds of extra sugar
annually compared to fifteen years ago. They're warning that rising
(09:43):
temperatures could have a detrimental effect on health.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Do you immediately jump to food when you hear that
statement would have a detrimental effect on health rising temperatures.
I would think it would maybe be the atmospheric and
what you breathe and it could cause asthma or something.
But instead they're talking about sugary foods.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yes, they're saying the higher the temperature, the more likely
Americans are to drink sugary drinks and eat desserts, and
therefore rising temperatures has a detrimental effect on health.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, this one's too much for This is too far
for me.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
So literally, they're saying that Americans are fat because of
global warming. You can't have you around. That makes total
sense to me.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, right, I knew.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
This all along. I was just waiting for somebody to
bring this up.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah, here we are in the sweltering South. I mean,
I don't know about you, but when it's hot outside,
do you run to go get a sugary drip? Well,
I suppose tea, but they're thinking soda.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, they're talking about soda and all of that. And no,
I don't like to.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Go for candy.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And I mean, it's so odd, it's so hot out here.
I think I'll eat a pie.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I mean, I wasn't expecting that out of you.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
What are they talking about.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I really don't. I get it's this is a pretzel
twist for me and them and this whole stupid story.
It's research. I'm doing air quotes here.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yes, research. I wonder how much that research costs exactly.
They paid millions of dollars to find this out. Yes,
the hotter it gets, the fatter we get.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
The more pie we want to eat.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
The more pie we want to eat.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Here we come, cracker Barrel.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, it's sweltering out here. Give me an rcy cola
and a moon pie.
