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.
Oh yeah I get it. They didn’t think there was anything wrong with what they did at the time. I was merely addressing one part of your own comment:
There’s no such thing as “an attempt at…genocide”. If the act was carried out with the intent to eradicate (even if, as was the case in Australia, they believed the eradication was in the best interests of the individuals), then the action is genocide, whether or not the targeted group actually ceases to exist.
If you think about it, that has to be the case. Otherwise we would say there has never been a genocide in history. The Nazis only attempted genocide against the Jews, Roma, gays, etc. But we don’t say that, we say what the Nazis did was genocide, even though Jews, Romani, and gay people still exist today. (And likewise, the genocide Israel is currently perpetuating against Palestinians is a genocide, not an “attempted” one, which is why the common genocide denialist’s attempt to point to numbers killed as a sign that it’s not genocide is irrelevant.)
