UNILAD posted a controversial story on Thursday, focusing on the mental health of Decarlos Brown Jr., the man who allegedly stabbed and killed a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska in North Carolina. From their piece:

"Now, mom Michelle Dewitt has spoken out about the ordeal to the outlet and about her son, suggesting the local authorities failed Brown for turning him away when the family sought help for his schizophrenic fantasies. Speaking to The Post, Michelle added that her son should never have been left to walk the streets as a free man due to his mental health rapidly plummeting. 'He shouldn’t have been released,' the 51-year-old said in reference to his prior arrest in January after which he was released on a 'written promise' to appear before a court date… 'When you bring a person to mental health, and [they] tell you ‘We don’t have enough space’ or ‘Is he trying to kill himself or someone else?’ and I say no, then there is nothing we can do, you need to get a court order,' she said... she suggested he had become convinced someone was controlling him with a 'chip' in his brain. Prior to the death, Brown was arrested in January for 'misuse of the 911 system' during which he reportedly told cops 'man-made' materials inside him were controlling his body." – UNILAD

Michelle Dewitt's description of life with a schizophrenic is accurate. It’s a horrible disease that shatters reality for the afflicted. This quote:

“When you bring a person to mental health, and [they] tell you ‘We don’t have enough space’ or ‘Is he trying to kill himself or someone else?’ and I say no, then there is nothing we can do, you need to get a court order.”

This describes the morning of my brother in law’s last day on earth. He knew “something bad was going to happen.” His sister (my sister in law) brought him to the outpatient clinic (where his diagnosis was known). They asked, “Is he trying to kill himself or someone else?”

He said no. Something bad was going to happen. He wasn’t going to hurt anyone, but something bad was going to happen.

Because he didn’t say the magic words, the clinic told him he could get in to see a doctor in August. It was May. Later that day, something bad did happened. His beloved chocolate lab was attacked by an alligator at a dog park and died. There was a lot of blood. My brother in law took his own life a few short hours later. He was begging for help that morning.

My brother in law was a gentle, tormented individual. Some with the disease are violent, tormented individuals.

The bureaucratic approach to mental health care for Americans in crisis is not only inadequate, it’s immoral. And it’s a public safety threat. We have the resources to help, but we lack the will.

Now consider this detail: 

“Brown was arrested in January for 'misuse of the 911 system' during which he reportedly told cops 'man-made' materials inside him were controlling his body.”

There have been many theories about Decarlos Brown, Jr. One of those theories is that this murder is actually a skilled hit and that there may have been a geopolitical motive, rather than a random attack. When I heard the bit about the “materials” inside of him, it made me think of Jason Bourne and that whole spy domain which, honestly, seems more plausible than ever in the age of modern technology and forever ops. Add in MK Ultra and the rest. It’s not far-fetched.

Still, reading the mother’s story, and combining her recollection with the audio of Brown after his arrest, schizophrenia seems right to me. It’s a horrible disease. The reason it’s so horrible is that their delusions are their reality. They believe it. It’s terrifying for them. There is no safe space because the threats are in their minds. Anywhere they go, the source of their paranoia follows.

He sounds schizophrenic on the audio, and his mother accurately describes life with a schizophrenic loved one. Maybe there is more going on, but based on what we know, it fits.

And for any so-called “mental health” system to turn away schizophrenics in crisis – well, that’s immoral. It’s also a violation of the Hippocratic oath and basic human rights. It’s a threat to public safety, which brings us back to Brown.

I believe Brown should receive the death penalty for what he did. He is a monster, and the delusions or other factors that drove his heinous acts of violence are irrelevant. Monsters that can’t control their demons cannot continue living among us. Brown said in his interview, “They lashed out at her…whoever was controlling the material lashed out at her.”

At whom else will they lash out?

Even Brown’s mom said he shouldn’t have been walking around free; and there are many more like him in our environments, being turned away in times of crisis, released to succumb – either to harming themselves or others – within our communities. Side note: My heart hurts for his parents. It sounds like they lived a nightmare.

We have to throw out the current playbook on mental health, and begin solving the actual crisis. Throwing out the playbook also means firing all the NGOs that are taking all the resources allocated for the problem. I bet we could build a couple state hospitals with that…

Rest in peace, Iryna Zarutska.
