North Carolina Democrat Governor Josh Stein Signs ‘Iryna’s Law’ Preventing Cashless Bail

Saying he had reservations about some aspects of the new legislation, North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein, a Democrat, on Friday signed “Iryna’s Law,” a bill that prohibits cashless bail for some violent crimes and most repeat offenders.

The bill comes on the heels of the unprovoked stabbing death of a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in August on a Charlotte light-rail train by a repeat offender — the assault sparking national outrage after surveillance video of the incident went viral.

Authorities have charged Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr., with first degree murder. He’d been arrested more than a dozen times and served five years in prison before the fatal train stabbing.

It also follows public pressure also generated by President Donald Trump who highlighted the case in an Oval Office address on crime and lenient bail policies in American cities.

In a three-and-a-half minute video statement, Stein said he doesn’t like every part of the bill that was passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature.

But the governor said he signed it because it “alerts the judiciary to take a special look at people who may pose unusual risks of violence before determining their bail. That’s a good thing.”

Nation Stunned After Child’s Killer Freed

The White House is looking into the case of a convicted killer who stabbed a 6-year-old to death in 2015 and is now walking free because of supposed good behavior since he plead not guilty by reason of insanity. 

Ronald Exantus broke into a family’s home, stole a kitchen knife and used it to stab sleeping Logan Tipton, who was sleeping, to death. 

White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on X that the White House is looking into this case. 

“I can confirm the White House is looking into this. It’s wholly unacceptable for a child killer to walk free after just several years in prison.”

A viral video shows Kentucky father Dean Tipton said he will kill the man if the two cross path. 

“I’ve had my talks with God ’cause I’m not afraid to tell you what I told the court,” his father, Dean Tipton, told WLKY-TV. “If I ever cross paths with him, I will kill the man. I will kill him where he stands.”

Matt Walsh previously posted a video on X. 

“This case should be getting A LOT more attention. Should be massively viral. We need the White House on it. A man who broke into a house and stabbed a child to death is now walking free. One of the most heinous miscarriages of justice in American history.”

Residents take matters into own hands and launch ‘Scooby-Doo’ hunt for ‘serial killer’ after 22 bodies found

Houston residents launched their own ‘Scooby-Doo’ style investigations to find an unconfirmed ‘serial killer’ after the discovery of six bodies since September 15 bringing the total found in the city’s bayous area to 22 this year.

Rumors of a mystery mass murderer came to a peak in the community in late September after officials announced that five dead bodies had been found over a five-day period.

Police said that had brought Houston’s total for the year to 14, but KPRC-TV reported using medical examiner records that the real number for 2025 was actually 22. 

Various bayous scattered around the city were listed as their places of death.

This latest development came as Houston locals launched their own far-fetched efforts to track down the supposed serial killer.

TikTok user Darius Stcyr said: ‘Let’s set up a trap. As you know, we have a serial killer on the loose.’

He continued: ‘Just the thought that could possibly be my baby girl one day [who] gets snatched up and found in a bayou. That really bothers me, you know? 

‘The police is clearly having a problem doing their job. I’m not understanding after the first body. Why aren’t there people staking out and watching?’

“You Pissed Off the Wrong Daddy!” – Father of College Coed Logan Federico Who Was Executed by Career Criminal GOES OFF on Democrats 

Steve Federico, father of Logan Federico, the young woman who was executed by a career criminal in a South Carolina home earlier this year, went off on Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies during a testimony on Monday morning.

As previously reported, a beautiful 22-year-old college student was fatally shot inside a Columbia, South Carolina, rental home earlier this year by a career criminal who was “on a spree of thefts, break-ins and credit card fraud,” the Columbia Police Department said.

In May, Logan Federico, a college student from Waxhaw, North Carolina, was spending the weekend at a rental home with friends in South Carolina when she was senselessly murdered by a career criminal.

After stealing firearms and credit cards from a nearby home, 30-year-old Alexander Dickey broke into the Columbia rental home, entered Logan Federico’s room, and executed her while she was on her knees begging for her life.

Dickey fled the scene in a stolen vehicle and allegedly used stolen credit cards taken from the nearby home.

Police pursued Dickey after he fled into the woods. He reportedly broke into another home and set it on fire before police took him into custody after a standoff in Gaston.

Dickey was charged with murder, two counts of first-degree burglary, weapons possession, and larceny.

Alexander Dickey is a convicted felon with a lengthy criminal rap sheet.

Sixth body found in Houston bayou leaving Texas city on edge

Fears that a serial killer is on the loose in Houston were raised after a sixth body was pulled from a bayou in a little over a week. 

A staggering 15 bodies have been found in the Buffalo Bayou throughout this year, five of which were discovered in the last 10 days in the Texas city. 

The sixth body was found Thursday night near the University of Houston, when several people riding scooters reported seeing the body floating under a bridge. 

The corpse has not been identified, but the Houston Police Department confirmed that the body was determined to be female. 

Lieutenant A. Khan told Fox26Houston that an investigation into the death is still ongoing, and said it is unclear how the woman ended up in the water. 

Khan also noted that there are several homeless encampments in the area near to where the body was found which is prone to flooding, and said homeless people near the water often end up in bayous when they pass away. 

The chilling discoveries sparked a social media frenzy as locals feared a serial killer may be at large, but Texas authorities have attempted to downplay the repeat instances. 

Officials have not yet identified all those found in recent days, but named Jade ‘Sage’ McKissic, 20, as one of the bodies found in the bayou in the last week.

North Carolina looks to bar cashless bail for violent suspects after fatal light-rail stabbing

North Carolina legislators advanced a new bill seeking to rein in the state’s cashless bail policies on Monday, following last month’s deadly stabbing on the Charlotte light rail train in which an ex-convict is accused of killing a Ukrainian war refugee.

State Sen. Danny Britt, a Republican whose district includes Hoke, Robeson and Scotland counties, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the bill essentially gets rid of written promises by violent defendants to appear at future court dates.

Instead, it requires judges only to allow those defendants out of jail on secured bonds, house arrest or some other kind of electronic monitoring, depending on their criminal history.

The bill also would task judges with justifying the release conditions they set — or risk suspension.

Lawmakers in Raleigh voted to move the bill to the Senate Committee on Rules and Operations.

The proposal, dubbed “Iryna’s Law,” is named for Iryna Zarutska, the 23-year-old refugee whose caught-on-camera stabbing death on a light rail train was so alarming that President Trump said her killer should be executed.

“Iryna should still be alive. She should be thriving and enjoying time with her family and friends,” Senate Leader Phil Berger, a Republican representing Guilford and Rockingham counties, said in a press release. “We cannot let North Carolina be held hostage by woke, weak-on-crime policies and court officials who prioritize criminals over justice for victims. We are also taking steps to revive the death penalty for those who commit the most heinous crimes.”

The Ukrainian woman’s slaying has also become a hot topic in the battleground state’s U.S. Senate race next year.

Republican candidate Michael Whatley said former Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat running for Senate, bears “direct responsibility” for the deadly attack on Zarutska because of a commission he created in June 2020 to address racial inequity in the criminal justice system.

The panel’s unveiling occurred weeks following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

But Mr. Cooper’s campaign said Mr. Whatley, a recent Republican National Committee chairman, was lying about the task force. The former governor’s campaign further said that Mr. Cooper signed a 2023 law that toughened pretrial release rules.

She was shot dead two days after her 21st birthday… now murder of Miss Teen beauty queen linked to others


Just two days before she was killed, former Miss Teen San Diego winner Mimi Barraza had been celebrating her 21st birthday.

Barraza was talking with a group of friends outside one of their homes in the early morning of September 4, 1993, when a white Chevy Astro-Van pulled up and an occupant began shooting, San Diego police said.

Barraza, who was mother to a two-year-old daughter, was struck in the head and killed.

Police said the van sped away from 1600 South 39th Street and was found ‘several hours later that morning’ on the intersection of 19th and G Street in San Diego.

The vehicle had been reported stolen one day earlier. Police found casings from ‘several different caliber weapons’ in the van, as well as at the crime scene.

Now 32 years later police believe the beauty queen’s killing could have been part of a crime spree in which a dozen people were shot.

Police told Daily Mail that around the same time as Barraza’s killing there were several other shootings using the same type of assault rifle.

In one case, a 16-year-old boy was shot dead and nine people were wounded in National City that is about 10 minutes from San Diego.

The perpetrators used ‘the same type of assault rifle’ as in Barraza’s murder.

Police say the suspects in all of the cases were believed to be Hispanic males affiliated with a street gang from Logan Heights.

Benita Perez, Barraza’s mother, told NBC 7 San Diego: ‘Know something, see something, say something. Help us. Help us parents. Help the loved ones that need the justice for our family, for someone that you love.’ 

She also spoke fondly about her daughter saying: ‘Beautiful smile, beautiful personality. Everything that she did, she did with love.’

Perez took to Instagram earlier this month to mark her daughter’s birthday and shared an emotional tribute. 

She posted: ‘Happy Heavenly Birthday to my Beautiful daughter Mimi. May all the Angels sing and dance to celebrate your day. Today we love and miss you so very much. Love, Mamita and family.’ 

San Diego police said that anyone with information about Barraza’s murder or the other cold cases should call their Cold Case Unit at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477, which is offering up to $1,000 reward to anyone with tips leading to an arrest.

Another Leftist Shooter Attacks Country Club Wedding In New Hampshire

America is suffering from leftist fatigue. Three left wing shooters in the span of a week, from the murder of Charlie Kirk to an attack on an ABC affiliate station in Sacramento to the most recent event – A shooting at a country club wedding in Nashua, New Hampshire. 

This is, of course, not counting the transgender killer who murdered 2 children and wounded 18 others at a catholic school in Minneapolis the week before the Charlie Kirk assassination.  In every case there has been clear intent of politically motivated violence.  Democrats and woke activists continue to deny they have any culpability, but after a decade of demonizing everyone who disagrees with them as “fascists and Nazis”, isn’t this the end result they always wanted?

The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau, was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder.  Witnesses heard the man scream “The children are safe, free Palestine!” as he started shooting, killing one person and wounding two others before he was hit in the head with a chair by a female party member and ran away with his head bleeding.

There’s a Simple Reason You Won’t Hear Much About This Gruesome Murder of Two Women in Washington

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller highlighted yet another example of an atrocity that will be swept under the rug by the mainstream media because it was committed by an illegal immigrant in a sanctuary state. 

Marvin Ortiz-Montecinos, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, is accused of killing his girlfriend Victoria Aparicio Cruz, and their roommate, Yaneth Gomez-Hernandez in Burien, Washington, earlier this month.  

The 29-year-old suspect, who has a wife and children in Guatemala, stabbed the two women dozens of times in the gruesome attack. 

Marvin Ortiz-Montecinos was charged Friday, Sept. 12, with two counts of first-degree murder with deadly weapon enhancements in connection with the deaths of Victoria Aparicio Cruz and Yaneth Gomez-Hernandez.

According to charging documents obtained by PEOPLE, Ortiz-Montecinos is accused of using a filet knife to stab his girlfriend Cruz, “slicing through her neck, slicing her hands in multiple places as she tried to defend herself, and stabbing her multiple times in the back even after she was clearly unresponsive and deceased.”

Prosecutors allege that an hour before the attack, Ortiz-Montecinos “complained about Victoria breaking up with him,” per the documents.

Gomez-Hernandez, who was roommates with the couple, was found naked with a towel covering part of her leg, per the documents. “It appears victim Yaneth Gomez-Hernandez, the defendant’s roommate, was violently and cruelly murdered simply for trying to intervene,” according to the documents.

Gomez-Hernandez suffered 43 stab wounds.

The documents states that “both women received neck wounds so large and deep it appears clear that the defendant was attempting to slice and saw at his victims, and not simply stab them.” (People)

Mother ‘furious’ after Rep. Crockett calls daughter murdered by illegal migrant a ‘random dead person’

The mother of murdered Maryland woman Kayla Hamilton is calling out Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who referred to her daughter as a “random dead person” during a debate on a bill named in Hamilton’s honor.

“You just don’t call a victim of a crime, just a random dead person. No victim should be referred to as a random, dead person,” said Tammy Nobles on “Fox & Friends First.” 

“What she said was really nasty, and it came across as racist.”

Crockett, D-Texas, made the comments earlier this month during a House Judiciary Committee debate on the Kayla Hamilton Act. 

Hamilton was 20 years old when she was sexually assaulted and strangled in 2022 by a teenager from El Salvador who was in the country illegally and later identified as an MS-13 member.

“You take a situation, and then you exploit what has happened to not only that person, but you exploit those families, and you make it a game,” said Crockett during the hearing. 

“Stop just throwing a random dead person’s name on something for your own political expediency.”
