Apparently, the death of Iryna Zarutska wasn't enough.

What is it going to take for @CLTMayor to remove violent criminals off the streets and protect her constituents?
The time to act is NOW. https://t.co/bSHDDw3L0B
Violent crime is a symptom of a diseased society. It is also a sign of a broken legal system. For too many decades, law-abiding Americans have watched helplessly as Democrat lawmakers, prosecutors, judges, and governors treat criminals as “victims” and forget real victims altogether.
Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson recently argued that imprisoning violent criminals is “racist,” “immoral,” and “unholy.” Chicago’s deeply unpopular leader told members of the press, “We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence.” New York City’s communist mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, has expressed the same sentiment and recently produced a video encouraging New Yorkers to help illegal aliens “stand up to ICE.” Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who allowed Minneapolis to burn during the George Floyd riots, is now implicated in a multi-billion-dollar fraud scheme involving his state’s large Somali population.
Democrats ignore crime, aid and abet crime, or directly orchestrate crime. When crime is a source of income and criminals are a loyal constituency, Democrats have no incentive to protect American citizens from ongoing criminal activities.
What the Trump administration understands is that a small number of criminals inside the United States perpetrate most violent crimes. Just 2% of counties across America are responsible for half the nation’s homicides. Criminology research amply demonstrates that less than a tenth of any population commits more than half of all crimes. And one seminal study shows that 1% of the population accounts for 63% of all violent crime convictions.
When ICE agents are empowered to remove criminal illegal aliens from American society, law enforcement officers are empowered to go after known criminals, and prosecutors are empowered to put those criminals in prison for lengthy sentences, violent crime rates drop precipitously. But this kind of commonsense solution requires that local, state, and federal officials actually back the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect civilians from violent felons.
When Democrat mayors and governors add their voices to the loony leftists calling to “defund the police,” violent crime rates go up. When Democrat politicians call cops “murderers,” “Klan members,” “slave-catchers,” and “racists,” violent crime rates go up. When Democrat race-baiters glorify lifetime criminals as “victims” and insist that police officers be prosecuted for doing their jobs, violent crime rates go up. Basically, when Democrat mayors, governors, prosecutors, lawmakers, and judges hold power over any jurisdiction, violent crime rates go up.
Democrat politicians make all kinds of excuses for their failures to prevent violent crime. They claim to believe in “rehabilitation,” “restoration,” and “equitable justice.” They think preventing, deterring, or punishing crime is inherently “racist,” “patriarchal,” and “white supremacist.”
A simpler explanation might be this: Before Democrats can “fundamentally transform” the United States into a Marxist-socialist hellhole, they must first burn the country to the ground. Revolutionaries prefer to build their totalitarian “Utopias” on the ashes of tradition, social cohesion, and the rule of law. From Democrats’ point of view, criminals provide a valuable service by destroying civic peace.
President Trump and his administration understand the stakes: Either Americans win, or the criminals do.
