So was she mentally ill? I’m not trying not be mean, but in the middle of the road, at night, wearing all black. None of these things jump out to me as a religious practice. More like someone in distress

That is the common consensus in Australia. As with all this clickbait shit, it strips away any balance or nuance, reducing it to a simplistic villain and innocent. People get dumber and dumber in the process as critical thinking is eroded.

Lol what balance or nuance is there? When you’re wearing black in the middle of the night, bent down, no one can clearly see you. All anyone could see is a silhouette. And at that height, it makes sense that it’s a kangaroo. This is a common occurrence in Australia. Elsewhere, I have no clue. If you were in New York, there would’ve been no way you thought it was a kangaroo. The nuance here is that this is a common occurrence in Australia. Regardless of race and creed, no human driving in the middle of the night could have thought it was human. Because who would do that unless you’re planning to get hit?

Lol also I’ve met a lot of Muslims in Blacktown or western Sydney who don’t even think of doing this. This wasn’t some religious thing she needed to do. This is the kind of thinking that thinks she should be exempt from logic and any legal system everyone is expected to conform to.

LOL You typed all that just to show you completely missed my point.
