Iryna Zarutska’s horrific murder on a Charlotte train was a wake-up call that Democrat-run cities favor career criminals over innocent victims. North Carolina Republican lawmakers rushed to make sure her fate didn't befall others. Unsurprisingly, many Democrat lawmakers were unmoved by her death. More on that in a bit.

The legislation ends cashless bail for certain violent offenders. It also expedites death penalty appeals. Stein really didn’t have much of a choice but to sign it, though. He made a calculated decision to save his future political career.

Posters are angry that it took the governor so long to do the right thing.

Don’t for a minute think the Democrat governor of North Carolina is fully behind the law. Posters explain why.

His refusal to sign the bill into law would kill his chances in a national election. He really had no choice if he ever wanted to seek the White House.
