Cooper released 3,500 “hardened criminals out of the NC prisons | Eastern NC Now

Whatley made the case that his opponent Roy Cooper is actually “pro-crime,” noting that the Democrat not only marched with protesters in 2020 as Black Lives Matter and Antifa were burning down cities, but he also released 3,500 “hardened criminals out of the North Carolina prisons, including murderers and rapists, assaults, and really, truly unleashed these people back on the American people.”

These soft-on-crime policies, which see leftists literally releasing criminals, resulted in the vicious murder of Ukrainian Iryna Zarutska, who was murdered on a North Carolina commuter train, allegedly by Decarlos Brown, Jr., who had been arrested and released more than a dozen times.

Then, Whatley continued, Cooper placed the list under court order, sealing it so no one could see it, but assuring the North Carolinian people that no violent criminals were released. However, the North Carolina legislature has since been able to secure that list, which did include violent criminals after all. Over 50 were serving life sentences.
