Charlotte Light Rail and DEI

October 16, 2025

“Cognitive and character skills work together as dynamic complements; they are inseparable. Skills beget skills. More motivated children learn more. Those who are more informed usually make wiser decisions.” Dr. James Heckman, Noble Prize-winning economist.

The whole world knows that a young woman was brutally stabbed to death on the Charlotte light rail. The suspect is named Decarlos Brown. See picture below.

Brown should not have been a free man. He was federally charge back in September for committing an act causing a death on the rail system. He should have been in prison. Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes, see picture below, released him. Brown had been arrested on felony charges 14 times prior. Judge Stokes is not a lawyer. She was appointed under DEI policies, she should be fired.

Also, NC State Auditor, David Boliek found serious problems with Charlotte’s light rail security operations. The security services were outsourced to a company which was selected out of 8 different companies based on DEI principles. The city of Charlotte wanted more minority contractors.

So–a DEI appointed judge, without a law degree or any formal education let a criminal with 14 prior arrests out without bail and a minority selected security firm provided the protection for passengers. Charlotte Mayor Vi lyles needs to go!!!
