[FoxNews] Decarlos Brown Jr. faces federal charge in killing of Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte train
Crime runs deep in Decarlos Brown Jr.'s family. The homeless felon accused of stabbing a young Ukrainian commuter to death on a Charlotte light rail train comes from a household where run-ins with the law have been a way of life.
Court records and law enforcement documents viewed by Fox News Digital reveal a disturbing family legacy: Stacey Dejon Brown, the older brother of the alleged killer, is locked up on a 27- to-36-year sentence for the 2012 shotgun slaying of a 65-year-old man during a robbery.
His sister, 33-year-old Tracey Vontrea Brown, has a criminal record that includes misdemeanor shoplifting, larceny, felony conspiracy, vehicle theft and resisting public officers, with her most recent arrests coming in 2024 for misdemeanor larceny, felony conspiracy and shoplifting, according to Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office records viewed by Fox News Digital.
Their father, Decarlos Brown Sr., has been arrested for allegedly breaking and entering, felony conspiracy, larceny and possession of a weapon on a university campus, according to the New York Post. Brown Sr. could not be reached for comment.
Together, these cases show a cycle of crime spanning generations, now culminating in Brown Jr.’s federal charge in the August 2025 killing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a refugee who fled her war-torn city in Ukraine only to lose her life in a random, unprovoked attack on American soil.
Fast-forward to Aug. 22, when Zarutska was stabbed to death on a train.
The violent encounter was captured on train surveillance video. The Department of Justice (DOJ) noted in a complaint filed Tuesday that Brown Jr. was captured on camera leaving the train car with "blood dripping from him."
According to the police affidavit, Zarutska was stabbed three times in the middle of her throat after Brown Jr. allegedly used a pocket knife to attack her.
Federal authorities announced Tuesday that Brown Jr. has been federally charged with one count of committing an act causing death on a mass transportation system.
Brown was previously charged with first-degree murder in state court for allegedly stabbing Zarutska to death.
[NYPOST] A Florida woman saved her puppy from the jaws of a 5-foot alligator by pounding the beast in the eye until it let go.
Danie Wright was walking 4-month-old Dax behind her home in Land O' Lakes, about 20 miles north of Tampa, last week when the gator lunged from a mossy creek and clamped down on the pup's collar.
''I heard a squeal, and I got pulled,'' Wright, a Floridian of 20 years, told local CBS affiliate WTSP. ''The alligator had him by his collar and dragged him, and I wasn't gonna let go.''
She said she swung her fists until the reptile released Dax.
''I just punched him, punched and punched,'' Wright said. ''I punched him in the eye enough that he kind of let go — but his teeth dragged down my arm.''
Dax wasn’t hurt, but Wright suffered bite wounds and is now recovering, WTSP reported.
Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission later trapped the gator and removed it from the property.
"Just be careful with your dogs, you know these alligators are no joke," Wright warned. "I mean, 15 feet, he came out to get him, and I didn’t see him."
Florida averages about eight unprovoked alligator attacks on humans each year, one of which has been fatal in 2025, the FWC said. Attacks on pets are far more common.

[Regnum] The Earth, as expected, was affected by a coronal hole on the Sun, but this happened a day later. This was reported on September 14 by the press service of the solar astronomy laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS).
"Judging by the instrument readings, the planet... with a delay of a day, nevertheless began to cross the boundary of the coronal hole. In fact, there was no doubt that this would happen... The main question was what are the parameters of the plasma inside the hole and, most importantly, what is the wind speed there," the scientists clarified in the Telegram channel.
Overall, the laboratory's forecasts look moderately positive. With such a hole size, long-term storms of at least level 3 were expected, while models currently show episodic disturbances of level 1–2. Scientists are monitoring the graphs.
On the night of September 10, a sudden magnetic storm of medium strength occurred on Earth, which was not predicted in forecasts and arose without external influences from the Sun. It was assumed that the cause of the phenomenon was a large substorm - a spontaneous imbalance in the tail of the magnetosphere, which released the energy of the planet, which was confirmed by the observed polar lights.
On September 11, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported that new magnetic storms could hit the Earth in the near future. According to the data, a significant change in the geomagnetic situation, including magnetic storms of the 2nd and 3rd levels on a five-point scale, is expected on September 13–14 due to the appearance of a large equatorial coronal hole on the visible side of the Sun.
[NYPOST] Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... 's leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... , warned joint military exercises of US, South Korea and Japan could bring about ''negative consequences'' for themselves, state media reported on Sunday. They do that every year.
South Korea, Japan and the US will conduct annual defensive drills called the ''Freedom Edge'' starting on September 15 to upgrade aerial, naval and cyber operational capabilities against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, South Korea's military has said.
''This reminds us that the reckless display of power displayed by the US, Japan, and South Korea in the wrong places, namely around the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, will undoubtedly bring about negative consequences for themselves,'' Kim said via state KCNA news agency, using North Korea's official name.
South Korea and the United States also plan to stage the ''Iron Mace'' tabletop exercises next week on integrating their conventional and nuclear capabilities against North Korea's threats, South Korean local media reported.
If ''hostile forces'' continue to boast about their power through those joint drills, North Korea will take countermeasures ''more clearly and strongly,'' North Korea's top party official Pak Jong Chon said in a separate dispatch via KCNA.
Pyongyang has traditionally criticized those joint drills as rehearsals for invasion and in some cases responded with weapons tests, but Seoul and Washington say they are purely defensive.

[Epoch Times] Companies across the United States have issued warnings to employees that they won’t have a job to go back to on Monday if they post comments celebrating or mocking the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
The affected professions range from teachers to airline pilots. One of the more prominent early cases was the firing of MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd on Sept. 11.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Sept. 13 said that multiple pilots employed by American Airlines have been immediately grounded and removed from service, and Delta Air Lines employees have also been suspended pending investigation.
"This behavior is disgusting, and they should be fired," Duffy wrote on X in response to the American Airlines news. "Any company responsible for the safety of the traveling public cannot tolerate that behavior."
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed in an email to The Epoch Times on Sept. 12 that the service was made aware of comments made by one of its agents, and has placed that agent on leave.
"The U.S. Secret Service will not tolerate behavior that violates our code of conduct," Guglielmi said. Allowing leftists to self-deport from civilized society, so to speak.

I don't doubt at all that the same people celebrated in 2021 when people were fired and had lives ruined for supporting President Trump.
#2
They fired up cities for George Floyd. Now they're getting fired for Charlie. Greatly reduces collateral damage. The wonders of social media in allowing people to self identify.

All of them self-identify as "STUPID".
Imagine, if you will, a world where people cannot imagine consequences to their actions. Look at the signpost ahead, it is "The DUMBASS Zone"!

Businesses that want to be profitable need to be focused on Business. Not agendas that tick off 1/2 or more of their customer base.
eg. A lot of people stopped shopping Target since they went left wing. Their stocked Sept 2021 (265) to After Trump is at 88 today. Or like that sports equipment store that jumped on the Anti-Gun AR-15 Band wagon. Or Bud-Lite.
