The Consequences of Liberal Policies: A Reflection on Public Safety
One recent event has profoundly impacted me - the tragic death of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was fatally stabbed on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 22, 2025. The assailant, Decarlos Brown Jr., had a long history of mental illness and prior arrests. This case underscores the systemic failures in our approach to mental health and public safety.
The leniency afforded to repeat offenders under certain bail reform policies has created an environment where public safety is compromised. When individuals with known histories of violence are allowed to remain free, the consequences are dire.
President Donald Trump has proposed a solution: the reinstatement of mental health institutions to address the needs of individuals with severe mental illnesses. This initiative aims to provide care and supervision for those who are a danger to themselves or others, rather than allowing them to remain untreated in public spaces.
Decades of no-bail policies, weak sentencing, and welfare dependency have created a permanent underclass of patients that our institutions will struggle to contain.
Canada has shown another way. Its rapid expansion of euthanasia—once for the terminally ill, now applied to depression, disability, and even poverty—has quietly reduced the burden on its social systems. Every month, scores of “unmanageable” cases disappear from waiting lists, not through treatment, but through state-assisted exit. The backlog shrinks, resources free up, and the welfare state stabilizes.
It is a grim solution, but a logical one. If society refuses to enforce order, if it cannot reform its welfare state, and if it lacks the will to institutionalize, then euthanasia becomes the tool of last resort. Either we rebuild the structures of accountability or eliminate these problem people altogether.
