Valuetainment - “He Was Arrested 14 Times!” - Iryna Zarutska’s Killer WON’T Stand Trial

00:00:00.000 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.

00:00:58.060 I got a white girl. 0.99

00:00:59.280 Crazy people aren't. 0.99

00:01:00.360 That's a mission that he was on to do.

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.

00:01:14.120 They said he got schizophrenia diagnosis.

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.

00:01:28.980 That's complete and total failure.

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.

00:01:40.560 I think this is complete BS, okay?

00:01:43.300 So 14 times offender, Pat.

00:01:45.700 This is the system.

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

00:03:13.500 the guy has a history of schizophrenia

00:03:16.160 it is an institutional failure

00:03:18.180 there's zero question about that 1.00

00:03:19.600 we live in a world now where you empower mental illness 0.84

00:03:22.000 instead of treating it and so they say 0.89

00:03:23.780 you can't institutionalize these people

00:03:26.000 because you have to respect autonomy

00:03:27.900 of individuals and leave schizos 0.88

00:03:30.120 who are violent and dangerous on the streets

00:03:31.960 because you can't involuntarily

00:03:33.840 confine them anymore but him

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

00:05:01.920 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?

00:05:12.300 To keep the city safe for everyone else.

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

00:06:22.860 or they're just put in jail

00:06:24.940 and then they're just, the cops have to deal

00:06:27.320 with them. By the way, if you've ever seen the old

00:06:29.160 Tonight Show and Johnny Carson would

00:06:31.280 make jokes about Camarillo. The reason

00:06:33.220 he made jokes about Camarillo, California

00:06:34.980 because there was an institution that was run

00:06:37.260 by the state that was for these people

00:06:39.400 but in combination of budget

00:06:41.240 cuts and what the liberals called

00:06:43.340 you know, criminal justice

00:06:45.100 reform, they shut them down

00:06:47.020 and so these, there it is, California State

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.

00:06:55.440 Is this on screen, Rob?

00:06:56.620 Yes.

00:06:57.160 This is when Johnny Carson would say, well, you know, Ed, you've got to be careful there.

00:07:00.580 They might send you off to Camarillo.

00:07:02.260 And that was Johnny Carson making jokes about this.

00:07:05.900 But Camarillo was known as this place within.

00:07:08.260 And guess what? 0.86

00:07:09.160 The liberals got it closed.

00:07:10.380 They closed it.

00:07:11.060 They defunded it.

00:07:11.920 And where did those people go?

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.

00:07:28.580 You know what I'm talking about.

00:07:29.720 It's hands down one of the best outlets.

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?

00:07:44.300 There's levels of crazy, okay?

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,

00:08:05.040 I am not wanting that to happen to me.

00:08:08.380 What percentage is going to be like, you know what, I'm not doing this.

00:08:11.820 If it helps 30%, 40%, do it.

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. 0.94

00:09:42.820 Three arrests where they're like, okay, this is, he's crazy.

00:09:46.440 For what though?

00:09:47.640 Stealing, guns, all the crimes that he's done.

00:09:50.560 Once you get to, okay, five, it's like this guy cannot function in society.

00:09:55.900 Okay, now, this was years ago. 0.93

00:09:57.560 Now we know he's a schizophrenic.

00:09:59.260 He's diagnosed.

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

00:10:32.080 Maybe this is a wrong time to bring this up.

00:10:33.820 Your mother called me last night at 10 o'clock.

00:10:37.920 Hey, man.

00:10:38.740 You told me the truth.

00:10:39.440 Hey, I'm on the turn right now.

00:10:40.980 No, the issue in this case is the violent crime.

00:10:42.880 She called you Sybil.

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

00:10:55.060 who posed a risk to themselves or others.

00:10:57.220 And some cases were clear-cut.

00:10:58.720 Others were much more middle ground.

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 0.99

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 0.97

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

00:11:54.280 there's a great scene right there

00:11:56.520 where Frank

00:11:58.100 Frank Reynolds, Danny DeVito

00:12:00.060 you know he was in a mental institution

00:12:01.880 he was institutionalized for having donkey 0.99

00:12:04.480 brains and his son 0.66

00:12:06.420 Dennis and his daughter

00:12:08.200 went to go see

00:12:10.360 what the men's institution was like

00:12:11.640 and they go why is this place closed? There's crazy people 0.69

00:12:14.240 walking on the streets and he goes yeah

00:12:15.940 it's a lot of money to keep this open

00:12:18.060 they gotta tax us more and this is the

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 0.88

00:12:32.200 getting my taxes raised enough's enough here I guess we got to open a mental institution and it 0.62

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
