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?

 

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.

Cough couple of posts down

 

I did look must be poorly titled

 

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

 

I'll give you that

 

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.

Never had a new thread amalgamated before


It needed the M word in the title to get my attention

 

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

 

Blade Gunner

 

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

 

Honestly, how anyone can find humour in this tragedy has me stumped...

 

He was probably just trying to get his leg over

 

Oscar Pistolrious.

*groan*

 

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.

 

We are only seeing a amputated version of events, this story has legs and is going to run and run.

 

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

How tacky was the Sun yesterday?

 

His defence say there is conclusive evidence at the scene that prove it wasnt him.... foot prints

 

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

 

Nike can tell the future ...

 

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.

 

Another reason why guns should be banned

 

Just proves that even a guy with no legs is still a better shot than Torres

 

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