Default Oscar Pistorius

Surely Oscar Pistorius can't be the first man to wake up legless on
Valentines Day and shoot all over his wife's face while imagining she
was someone else?

Red face Oscar Pistorius up for murder

So, Bladerunner accused of killing his girlfriend.

Not that he'd be the first bloke to shoot at his girlfriend's face whilst legless, but still, bit of a surprise story.

If anyone shoots anyone in SA, they are automaticlaly arrested for murder, then during the investigation the charges are reduced /dropped.

Seems likely to be a case of mistaken identity.

I lived out there for a while - in the bad old whitie days - and was told it was pretty OK to shoot an intruder/burglar as long as the body was found on your property.

Not quite what it first seemed then.

Police report that there have been cases of 'domestic incidents' at that address before, and were 'surprised' to hear media reports of it being a case of mistaken identity.

One of many jokes doing the round:

Roses are red,
Violets are glorious,
Never sneak up on Oscar Pristorius.



Shocking news in all serious though, poor girl

Another joke:
Oscar Pristorius denies murdering his girlfriend, Police say he doesn't have a leg to stand on!

There seems to be more to the story going by what has been said so far.

It is a tragedy for sure.

Doesn't look like it - she was shot 4 times after protracted screaming and shouting and all of this inside a highly secure gated compound and house.

i lost a bit of respect for this chap when he threw his toys out of the pram after being beaten fair and square in the Para Olympics

and with this, shooting his girfriend in the face 4 times, seems to have confirmed my view that the bloke is a chump of the highest regard

Apparently she bought him slippers for Valentine's....

Seriously though, "I thought it was an intruder". He might not have legs but he has ***** for trying that one.

If he gets away with it he'll rival OJ Simpson.

Apparently it was so dark he couldn't see two feet in front of him.

So did this poor cow creep up on him and he shot her by mistake,

Did some intruder use the gun and shoot her, escaping before he saw him. ( seems very unlikley)

Was it some kind jealous rage - he let her have both barrels

Well, what I read is that Oscar (I feel bad about this name, because a lot of nice cats are called Oscar) shot his GF 4 times from his bathroom. Presumably, the bathroom was an en-suite one.

If that is true, come on.

You wouldn't hide behind a bathroom door and open fire at someone you know, unless you are suffering from some serious psychological disorder. and 4 times?? What a bullsh!t that he thought it was some intruder.

We don't know all the facts, do we. We're only tallking on the basis of what we know, to be fair. It may turn out to be different with further evidences, I know.

Apparently, 44.32 seconds after the gun went off he was found half a mile away....
