Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was not violently stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail because she lacked “situational awareness.” We were told by many on the Left that we couldn’t blame the three to four bystanders who didn’t jump to her aid because it was only rational for them to worry about their own personal safety.
As Americans, it is our duty to uphold the rule of law. Citizens and visitors to the U.S. should always expect a high degree of safety, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
We in America are unwilling to recognize the unconformable truth that "we have a crime problem in the United States in the African-American inner city. Not in rural African-American communities. Not in African-American women. Not necessarily in African-American men over 40 or 50. But from 15 to 40, that demographic comprises about 3% of the country, and they're committing about 50% of the violent crimes, as we saw with Iryna. And yet, we didn't talk about it.”
