Iryna Zarutska was from Kyiv.
Pre-war, Ukraine's murder rate was ~4/100k/year. Charlotte is ~12/100k/year.
_Including_ murders by Russian air strikes, Kyiv's murder rate is “only” 8.5/100k/year ...
Around 39% of the U.S. violent crime prison population is black. The rate of arrest for violent crimes is also 38% black. Might it be the US has a crime problem and not a particular black problem?
This case's offender clearly stood out many times but the stats matching tells me that there is no racial bias to keep black offenders out of prison.
Lastly, prison for life is unnecessarily expensive. Violent crime peaks at a young age and is barely committed by people aged 45 or older. To keep people locked away after 55 should really be reserved for actual murderers or otherwise very extreme cases.
So what are your policy suggestions? Pre-crime put away all blacks? Should we also put away all men that are also drastically over-represented in violent crime?
A thing I could get behind is to put away all gang members that are actually more over-represented among violent offenders than blacks or young men.
Lastly, the whole "put them away" thing is also very popular in the US already, so they are doing something wrong but it's certainly not that they don't put away enough people.
