Hit-run driver's 'disgusting' messages aired in court
www.abc.net.au
One man died and another was injured after Jake Danby struck them with his car outside a Darwin shopping centre in 2024, with the driver then sending a series of "disgusting" text messages about the victims.

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.

    How grateful we must all feel knowing this man is able to continue on and be remorseful and contribute positively to our society. I don’t look forward to the next time he does something else fuelled by his racism and no longer has the isolated incident - I went to church one time (I’m sorry what?? How is this worth anything in a court of law?) - defence.
