The left won't hesitate to bend over backwards for a man who was killed after he resisted arrest and took enough fentanyl to kill a horse. You would expect, at the very least, that they would honor an innocent woman killed after obtaining refuge in this country as a result of the war in Ukraine. The problem with doing that, though, is that they would have to admit leftist "restorative justice” policies allowed a psycho with a painfully long rap sheet to enter back into society, where he then, subsequently, killed an innocent woman riding on the bus. So, rather than do the morally superior thing, the mayor of Providence has called to take down the mural honoring this victim, because he claims it is divisive.

According to Fox News:

The mayor of Rhode Island's capital city is calling for a mural reportedly backed by Elon Musk to honor Iryna Zarutska —the Ukrainian woman whose brutal murder while riding a North Carolina train prompted calls for harsher punishment for career criminals — to be taken down.

The office of Mayor Brett Smiley told Fox News he wanted the artwork taken down.

"The murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like the one across the county is divisive and does not represent Providence," Smiley said in a statement.

He said he continued to "encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than divide us."

The artist never intended to divide the people with the mural, and it is disgusting to him, the victim, her family, and all the law-abiding citizens of this country, to make such a claim. This mural has nothing to do with politics, or at the very least, it shouldn't. But the problem is that the left has no one to blame but themselves. It is their policies that allow career criminals to remain free to roam and jeopardize public safety, which de facto made this crime possible.

This crime was 100% preventable because the man should have been in prison.

According to Trump, the victim “escaped a brutal war only to be slain by a hardened criminal set free to kill in America.” There is no better representation of the situation than that. This should not be controversial, but according to the left, holding people accountable for their crimes is a greater sin than the crime itself. It is totally deranged.

Zarutska’s life mattered, and because of leftist soft-on-crime policies, it was taken far too soon. That is something that should never be forgotten, and it is disgusting that politicians like Smiley mock her death, as if it is nothing more than partisan politics. This is reprehensible, at best.
