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?

        Was she like “Well I can’t blame the Aboriginals, that would make me racist!”

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

            Sure she is, just like Elizabeth Warren is a Cherokee Princess.

              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?

                  I agree, supporting blatantly false claims of minority status and the soft bigotry of lowered expectations?

                  Pretty low.
