"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 NT Supreme Court heard that after the crash, which killed one Aboriginal man and injured another, Danby sent a series of "callous" text messages about his victims. In one message, Danby described the crash as a "two for one combo"."They learnt their lesson now, maybe next time they will use the crossing instead of walking out in front of cars, expecting me to stop like they own the place," the text message read...Danby will be detained in a house at Humpty Doo for the next five months." >>
