A 24-year-old man who hit two Aboriginal pedestrians with his car and sped away, later bragging to his friends he'd run down an "oxygen thief", has been spared actual jail time

The court heard Danby sent a series of "disgusting" text messages to his friends in the hours after the crash, in which he labelled the crash victims as "dogs" and "n***ers".

No jail ? Lucky he didn't run Charke Kirk down I guess.

The family of an Aboriginal man run down and killed by a hit-and-run driver in Darwin last year have voiced their "disgust and dismay" at the lack of a prison sentence for the offender.

Heads up, don't use the word "aboriginees" to describe our first peoples. It's Aboriginals or first nations for the most part.

But yeah fuck this cunt. That ruling was bullshit even for the NT
