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.

Lucky he didn’t run Charke Kirk down

I was just thinking in another thread, how easy it would have been to kill Kirk with a car and just get away with it. Because I don't agree with your comment here. Using a car is the best way to get away with murder. You have to be extremely unlucky to get any significant penalty when you kill someone with your car. Just ask the killers of Michael Hall, Carolyn Lister, Philip Pawsey, Richard Pollett, Richard Burden, and countless others around the country. Most of those were never charged. The one that was charged was never convicted. And our government spends more effort removing memorials than it does on actually addressing the problem.
