Taking its lead from the white Chief Justice of the NT white Supreme Court, white university trained Brian Martin, who judged the violent race hate white mob head kicking and head bashing assaults that led to the death of an innocent Alice Springs Aboriginal man as "manslaughter by negligence" and at "lower end of seriousness", the white evening TV news called this repeated vicious conduct of racial homicide resulting from a course of repeated head-kicking and head bashing, to be "hoon driving".
In determining that mob race hatred killing by white negligence is at the lower end of seriousness the white judge said the men had always got on with Aboriginal people, but in this instance had "pushed your normal standards of behaviour into the background".
On this rationale, if it has been applied in the case, manslaughter is at the lower end of seriousness when the Aboriginal victim has, as in this case, an undisclosed prior medical condition tending to make any form of serious assault lethal, provided it is perpetrated in the unusual circumstances of an uncharacteristic white mob aggression or white gang violence involving the repeated battery of kicking or similar head bashing behaviour by intoxicated persons acting with an express mob intent to inflict a violent gang headkicking on a hapless victim who has taken a stridently forceful step to object against their prior undertaking of repeated life threatening and brazenly dangerous race-hatred "hoon driving".
This is giving a new meaning to a driving licence - now if you are white and right in the NT you have the unrestrained licence to drive an Aboriginal victim of "hoon driving" who retaliates, straight to their death (provided you don't use the motor vehicle to inflict the fatal injuries), and with the unashamed impunity to avoid the full criminal seriousness of their unjustifiable homicide by revenge.
The court has determined that this type of admitted white crime is of the lower end of serious despite the deliberate and dangerous use of a motor vehicle in a river bed against pedestrians.
In as far as this remains unjustified owing to the viciously repeated battery admitted to be involved, the public comparatively would be justified in concluding that the homicide was not adjudged to be at even the mid-level of seriousness because in the NT white mob or white gang offenders have a qualified white licence from the white NT to treat innocent Aboriginal victims in this way with the entitlement to escape the full weight of the applicable white law for the killing this invloves, on the apparent basis of the openly agreed intention of the perpetrators to undertake racial harassment against innocent Aboriginal people.
Given that any assault involving battery is a serious offence before any court, the public would be justified in concluding the statement of the deceased's mother that "inside there's racism straight out" is entirely without doubt the solely responsible judgment in the case.

ray jackson has made the case that calling for a Royal Commission of the
Australian Crown as "a tool of the governments and their legal systems to
address the travesty of justice that is deaths in custody" is ultimately a
futile search for justice because "all governments set the parameters of
any government enquiry of which a royal commission is the apex" or as you
concisely put it:
"that common-sense and history dictate that as long as we leave the
structure and the parameters of any enquiry to the government then we are
lost before we begin".
ray says that: "we therefore need new systems of enquiry. the most
important first move is to disallow police investigating police or other
custodial deaths. [we] also include institutional deaths occurring in
hospitals, nursing homes, government and church-run homes, mental
hospitals, among others."
ray asks what is the solution: "what to replace it with?".
ray specifies a proposal that has been 15 years in the ever increasing queue
for the attention of the very governments and ministers elected from a
non-Aboriginal mandate and we: "of course were given very short shrift".
In view of this persona nullius approach of the non-if-not-anti-Aboriginal
"system" and the equally non-if-not-anti-Aboriginal "public" you qualify
this 15 year commitment because as we: "know that without public support
and backing it will fail".
ray is absolutely clear nevertheless that: "we will not get a system that
is fair to us until we fight for it. it's up to you".
But isn't this the problem - this us and them mentality that is so much
non-if-not-anti-Aboriginal, which appears in having the responsibility
shed by you to "us", after telling "us" that "we" HAVE TO FIGHT FOR A FAIR
SYSTEM ?
Aren't "WE" all in it together ?
Isn't it up to US and not them, whoever they are, and whether this
includes all the "you's" or not ?
YES it is easily agreed no doubt that: "we have been marking time for too
long, it is time to move forward, however slowly".
So MOVE FORWARD NOW and STOP STANDING STILL, SIMPLY MARKING TIME, and join

Aboriginal 'antagonism' led to killing of Kwementyaye Ryder
UPDATED: Lex Hall From: The Australian April 23, 2010 2:24PM
A NORTHERN Territory judge has jailed five young white over the bashing death of an Aboriginal ranger, ruling race may have been a factor in the crime.
Scott John Doody, Timothy Hird, Anton Kloeden, Joshua Benjamin Spears and Glen Anthony Swain - all members of respectable Central Australian families - were this morning sentenced for the manslaughter of 33-year-old Donny Kwementyaye Ryder beside the Todd River last July.
The Alice Springs Supreme Court heard the five men, aged 19 to 24, had been on a 12-hour drinking binge before they set out on a drunken joyride through Aboriginal town camps in the early hours of July 25 last year.
The men later attacked Ryder after he threw a bottle at their white Hilux utility.
In sentencing the men, Chief Justice Brian Martin ruled it was a case of "manslaughter by negligence" and at "lower end of seriousness".
He said it was difficult to avoid the conclusion that the attack was "influenced by the fact the deceased was an Aboriginal person."
"I am satisfied that there were racial elements in the earlier events and that a tone or atmosphere was set of antagonism towards and harassment of Aboriginal persons that is likely to have influenced the later conduct of all offenders."
Justice Martin said Ryder suffered a pre-existing aneurism and it was impossible to know the exact cause of his death
However, he said it remained unknown whether the attack would have gone as far as it did had the person who threw the bottle been white.
During the sentencing, Donny Ryder's mother, Therese Ryder, wept and stormed out of the court.
"It was good on the outside but inside there's racism straight out," she said.
Spears and Hird were each sentenced to six years jail with a non-parole period of four years.
The court heard Hird led the chase, kicking Ryder as he lay on the ground.
Spears, the youngest of the men, hit Ryder in the head with a bottle.
Although he didn't participate in the attack, Kloeden received the same sentence, with Chief Justice Brian Martin ruling it was his decision to go on the drive.
Swain, who kicked Ryder twice in the face and forehead during the attack, was sentenced to 5 and half year's jail with a non parole of 3 and a half years.
Justice Martin said Swain was entitled to a reduced term because he was "the only person who made a full and frank confession to police and gave them assistance in every way."
Doody, who did not take part in the attack or get out of car, received a four year sentence, suspended after twelve months.
Justice Martin said the men had always got on with Aboriginal people, but in this instance had "pushed your normal standards of behaviour into the background."
Outside court, Mrs Ryder spoke of her pain throughout the ordeal.
"The pain will go on in me for as long as I live," she said.
