The man accused of killing a young woman in North Carolina light train has been deemed
00:00:03.760
incompetent to stand trial in a state case following a mental evaluation according to
00:00:08.860
newly released court doc. Can you imagine this? It's incompetent to do that. The Carlos Brown
00:00:14.540
Jr. 34 is charged in the fatal stabbing of Ukrainian woman Irina Zarutska, 23, while
00:00:20.300
aboard light rail Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte, August 22nd, 2025, this less than a year ago,
00:00:26.940
However, a report stemming from Brown's time as a patient at Central Regional Hospital determined he was incapable to proceed in the upcoming state criminal trial, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.
00:00:37.940
This is separate from a federal case that he is also facing stemming from alleged attack.
00:00:42.500
Brown, a homeless man diagnosed with schizo, is currently in federal custody on separate charges relating to the alleged murder.
00:00:50.920
Vinny, I'm coming to you first and I'm coming to you next.
00:00:52.800
Well, and they left out the part where he walked away and said, I got a white girl.
00:01:02.360
And mind you, Pat, he was arrested 14 times since 2007.
00:01:06.700
And the crimes included assault, armed robbery, breaking and entering, firearm possession, other felony offenses.
00:01:16.700
His own mother warned the courts, Tom, that he should not be on the streets.
00:01:21.820
And just before killing her, he was released again on a cashless bail.
00:01:25.840
And then he ran on the train, stabbed her in the neck.
00:01:30.820
If you guys remember, Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 people, dismembered their bodies, ate some of them, ate some of them, found competent for trial.
00:01:47.080
This is the system failing, and it's absolute BS.
00:01:49.820
BS and it happens all this is this is just one time that it's happening and they keep blaming
00:01:54.560
this insanity nonsense you guys kept letting him get out and this happens way too much pat it
00:02:00.680
happens way too much and it's not slipping through the cracks they don't give a damn they don't care
0.80
00:02:04.520
how are you arrested 14 times how and you keep getting put on the street on your mother says
0.56
00:02:09.280
that you shouldn't be on the street and then he doesn't it's just an excuse it's just an excuse
00:02:13.060
rob what is this he just showed up uh this is all of his mug shots over the years the 14 times
00:02:18.300
are you sure that bottom left one is him i know this one in from the left i'm not sure about that
00:02:25.720
one but i know the rest are this was the graphic that was widely circulating of all of his arrests
00:02:30.220
wow so viva how do you process this yourself it will it would could be one of the cases where
00:02:35.320
someone is legally mentally incompetent to stand trial because they are in a state my best friend's
00:02:41.900
father growing up was a criminal lawyer still is uh he told us of one of these cases where
00:02:45.580
a guy does cocaine for the first time in his life has a total psychotic break is dissociated from
00:02:50.600
his body goes to a random person's house and beats them to death with a crowbar and then the
00:02:54.940
argument is not that he's innocent but that he did cocaine and that's voluntary intoxication
00:02:59.400
but that he's you know criminally not responsible for what happened afterwards because it was
00:03:04.040
literally like being an automaton you know there are limits to that defense but and he wasn't
00:03:08.460
defending himself on the basis of innocence but rather temporary insanity in a case like this
00:03:19.600
we live in a world now where you empower mental illness
0.84
00:03:35.920
being found criminally incompetent to stand trial
00:03:37.760
he's not going to go free he'll be institutionalized
00:03:39.820
hopefully for the rest of his life because once you do something like that
0.84
00:03:42.120
in a dissociative state you are forever a risk to society but it's not like he's going to walk
0.97
00:03:47.080
free this might be one of those cases of a systematic failure of the institutions but a
0.71
00:03:51.880
man who is clearly out of his out of his mind and and insane look you know what california's got the
00:04:00.880
three strikes laws and once we determine that someone who's committing violent crimes and look
00:04:07.300
he had a history of violent crimes not all of those mugshots were for violent crimes but good
00:04:12.060
Lord. Let's just assume that one picture is not there. We have 13. Let's say it's not 14. Let's
00:04:16.800
say it's 13. And some of those were violent. So therefore, you know, what failed was you didn't
00:04:23.760
get this guy into an institution or figure out what to do with him so he's not back out on the
00:04:28.440
streets. And what the most galling part of this is it's on the liberal side, and there is a line
00:04:36.720
of thought that is in liberal politics that it's not really the victim's fault it's society's
00:04:42.900
inequality and unfairness that drives people to steal to do this to respond to do things like that
00:04:49.700
and therefore we should have compassion for the criminal i'm sorry i'm sorry the state of north
00:04:56.460
carolina whoever's responsible for those 13 instances and run-ins with this guy you failed
00:05:02.800
And I believe that the family has a cause against the state for gross negligence of executing.
00:05:08.620
What do we execute the principles of our justice systems for?
00:05:14.860
So that the law-abiding citizens that are doing the right things, living the right lives, don't have to live in fear because we have these defective units are out there, regardless of how it can happen.
00:05:25.740
It happens, David, it happens permanence by the willing use of street drugs that causes permanent psychosis.
00:05:35.580
It's like, okay, well, you made the choice, and now you're defective, and we've got to do something with you, but we can't keep turning you back on the street.
00:05:42.000
And I am, it's like we don't need, you know, three strikes laws like we had in California for kids with three, you know, drugs sell, and two of them were selling marijuana.
00:05:54.540
we had kids in california the two other three three strikes were sale of marijuana you step
00:05:59.440
back and go whoa then that three strikes law failed but in this case come on it's the meme
00:06:05.100
like send in a social worker that's what they would have done with an individual like this
00:06:08.280
he should have been institutionalized and you need to bring back mental institutions to some
00:06:12.460
extent because right now the prison system is the de facto mental institution well i remember
00:06:17.360
there used to be insane asylums in this country right now there are mental health facilities
00:06:27.320
with them. By the way, if you've ever seen the old
00:06:49.240
Mental Hospital and part of it was incarcerated
00:06:50.980
And part of it was people that were developmental disabilities and mental health in Camarillo.
00:06:57.160
This is when Johnny Carson would say, well, you know, Ed, you've got to be careful there.
00:07:02.260
And that was Johnny Carson making jokes about this.
00:07:13.160
They became homeless or on the street or the justice system in California didn't have a place for them.
00:07:18.280
It says the systems have failed the honest, law-abiding citizens.
00:07:22.660
I mean, you can never take anything away from the Camarillo outlets to the people who live in that area.
00:07:31.560
And right outside of Thousand Oaks, Camarillo is now a much better facility.
00:07:35.460
I'm sure there's still some crazy people there.
00:07:37.440
But, you know, I have a lot of memories of doing a lot of things in Camarillo.
00:07:41.320
But, you know, you're right when you think about that, right?
00:07:46.300
So what if Trump is talking about he wants to reopen Alcatraz, okay?
00:07:50.740
If he's talking about he wants to open up Alcatraz,
00:07:53.340
I just don't think I want to put these guys in a crazy place.
00:07:56.700
I don't think that's enough of an example to make.
00:07:59.720
It needs to be an example for the guy that's flirting with being crazy to say,
00:08:08.380
What percentage is going to be like, you know what, I'm not doing this.
00:08:14.560
if it helps those to say i'm not willing to go to this level do it you put me in a mental
00:08:18.640
institution you're gonna feed me for the rest of my life give me a house with a roof over my head
00:08:21.960
you know what all right cool that's not that bad i'll go hang out with other crazies like myself
00:08:26.460
you understand where this the thought process goes to i'm not i'm not worried about that guy
00:08:31.760
or how he feels i'm worried about the person that he kills and their family we have to stop
00:08:36.660
putting ourselves in the criminal shoes well you have to understand he had a tough life
00:08:41.860
you have to understand his father wasn't there for him he murdered a seven-year-old girl he
00:08:46.660
murdered a poor innocent woman why are we giving him the benefit of the doubt the man is an absolute
00:08:51.820
menace to society this soft on crime nonsense is is perplexing you know pat what's the thing
00:08:58.600
you always say that whatever the situation genetics loads the gun that your personality
00:09:04.740
aims the gun but then your life experiences pulled the trigger whatever it is these people
00:09:10.540
you said three strikes you're out this guy's how many times he's been in the jail California
00:09:13.840
three strikes on how many times he's got me 14 times this guy should have had the death penalty
00:09:18.380
already oh Adam you're you're way too aggressive on crime why are you screaming so much so I'm just
00:09:23.920
how much call like you've been screaming non-stop all day and we're sitting right next to you on
00:09:28.140
every story you're and I'm the angry patriot oh my god I didn't realize sorry Vinny but I mean
00:09:32.600
but but at what point are we just going to say enough's enough of these freaking people well
00:09:37.140
I'm just curious that how many arrests have to happen.
00:09:41.000
Okay, let's say, let's give him the benefit of the doubt.
00:09:42.820
Three arrests where they're like, okay, this is, he's crazy.
00:09:50.560
Once you get to, okay, five, it's like this guy cannot function in society.
00:10:00.600
By the way, if my mother walked in here right now and talked to Pat and said,
00:10:04.180
Hey, Pat, listen, Vinny has multiple personality syndrome.
00:10:07.140
one of these people that's living inside of him is violent don't hire him i would expect patrick
00:10:13.040
to take my mother's advice and say vinnie i love you you're great around my family you're like my
00:10:17.500
brother i can't have you around because your mother the person that knows you the best says
00:10:22.660
that you are freaking somebody else so the fact that that happened and the court can't say you
00:10:27.160
know what you're right let's deal with this 14 arrests is it's unbelievable well listen maybe
00:10:33.820
Your mother called me last night at 10 o'clock.
00:10:40.980
No, the issue in this case is the violent crime.
00:10:43.920
It's the violent crime coupled with the schizophrenia diagnosis.
00:10:46.980
When I was a young lawyer at the firm I was at,
00:10:48.880
we used to do these things called motions for confinement.
00:10:50.700
You'd go to court, and you would be basically involuntarily confining an individual
00:11:00.340
um but you know there are circumstances where someone just needs to be institutionalized
00:11:05.240
medicated put on a regiment made sure that they're following the regiment in order to be
00:11:08.700
re-released into the public the flip side risk of all of this is that you start bringing back
00:11:12.920
mental institutions using them as political weapons we saw you know i'm from montreal where
00:11:16.760
we had the allen memorial we had mk ultra based out of montreal so you can see where the flip
00:11:21.320
side risk of over institutionalizing is declare every political rival mentally insane and
00:11:26.760
institutionalize them is what communist regimes have done there is a middle ground the pendulum
00:11:30.480
is clearly swung way too far to one side doesn't need to swing all the way back to the other they
0.84
00:11:34.580
need to be brought back violent schizophrenic mentally ill criminals need to be institutionalized
0.73
00:11:38.900
medicated put on a regiment in order for them to be released into free society you ever see the
0.93
00:11:42.780
the uh show always sunny in philadelphia you know they've had this conversation i don't want to make
00:11:47.520
light of the situation this is sort of a humorous approach to what we're talking about right now
00:11:51.600
you ever see the show Always Sunny in Philadelphia
00:12:01.880
he was institutionalized for having donkey
0.99
00:12:11.640
and they go why is this place closed? There's crazy people
00:12:20.320
scene he goes taxing us more they already tax us enough I'm not paying any more taxes she goes I
0.97
00:12:25.200
guess we're just gonna let crazy people in the street crazy people in the street we can't have
00:12:28.520
crazy people in the street we got to put them away I guess we got to raise the taxes I'm not
00:12:32.200
getting my taxes raised enough's enough here I guess we got to open a mental institution and it
00:12:36.280
goes back and forth and back and forth do you want taxes to take care of this do you want to take care
00:12:40.900
of crazy people this is the crazy part of this is that there's no clear answer here do we want to
00:12:46.440
tax people more do we want crazy people off the street the reality is we want low taxes and no
00:12:51.040
crazy people but what's the solution here's a good news to give all of you guys do you remember when
00:12:56.260
