Way too soft a punishment imo

    In the moments after, Fagan lied to police and blamed it on “African men” she did not know.

    What the fuck does that even mean?

          Well, she is indigenous. But apparently is still willing to throw other minorities under the bus to avoid responsibility.

              I don’t think that questioning her indigenous status here is helpful. Whether that was rightly or wrongly applied as a mitigating factor in her sentence for this particular crime, it’s likely that inter-generational disadvantage played a role in her life. Not an excuse for killing an old guy due to negligence in my opinion though.

                Thank you for bringing some nuance to this discussion. She’s guilty, that much is true. Now, do people here want justice/revenge? or do they want rehabilition?

                Guess we’ve got some racists in this space. Probably came across from the aus subreddit, which was toxic as fuck.
