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.

    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
