Oscar Pistorius arrested for shooting his girlfriend

[JimC]

From the Valentine thread, from HomerJay:

Roses are red
Violets are glorious
Don't ever startle
Oscar Pistorius.

Thing is as I said before, is he disabled? I'm certain he could run faster than you or I. So certainly he has a lack of lower legs but it's disabled him as much as a bad haircut and a wig is a disability.

There are no physically disabled people. Everyone can do something. Consider Steven Hawkings? In mental health there are real disabled folks but everyone ignores them...ever seen any in the para-olympics?

There are no 100% disabled people? Your proof? Anecdotal evidence doesn't count.

Yes that is why the word is disabled and not non-abled.

Physically challenged. Not a fan of PCness, but that phrase works better for me on several levels.

There is a lot of resentment amongst the disabled because they now have to find work rather than scrounging on the state. These moaners give the disabled a bad name far worse than Oscar ever will here in the UK. Not like they've had their wheelchairs confiscated whilst doing a job search for computer programmer or something?

You know, you say a lot of dumbass things, but that one takes the cake.

I only say what I read elsewhere. Mostly The Daily Mail.

Ah, benchmarking.

The bat and crushed skull will take some explaining, along with the bullet wounds? Maybe he mistook her for a zombie or something?

Bloodied cricket bat reportedly found at Pistorius' home

Reports emerging from South Africa on Sunday morning claim a bloodied cricket bat was found at the home of Oscar Pistorius, who stands accused of murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Steenkamp was shot dead at Pistorius' home on Thursday, and prosecutors levied a charge of premeditated murder at the Paralympic icon, who will return to court on Tuesday for his bail hearing.
Multiple gunshot wounds were found on the deceased, but the independent City Press newspaper is now claiming that police have uncovered a bloodstained cricket bat. The paper says Steenkamp's skull was "crushed" and a source is quoted as saying, "There was lots of blood on the bat."
Pistorius' family have spoken out in defence of the 26-year-old, with uncle Arnold telling media on Saturday: "After consulting with legal representatives, we deeply regret the allegation of premeditated murder. We have no doubt there is no substance to the allegation and that the state's own case, including its own forensic evidence, strongly refutes any possibility of a premeditated murder or indeed any murder at all."

Exactly. I can never tell whether he believes this shit or he is taking the piss.

I believe all popular opinion. That's how I survived the coming years of austerity and strife as this industrial 'civilization' runs out of fuel. Others are too nice and won't make it. Disabled people are resentful and dangerous to be around. I guess the lesson is learnt the hard way sometimes? I prefer a book like Ape Politics or The Prince...to learning the hard way. Some here won't make it once the wave hits...

His story is full of holes, a bit like his girlfriend.
He apparently shot her through the bathroom door, and used the cricket bat to smash the door because it was locked.

So he hears sounds from the bathroom, and doesn't assume it's the other person in the house, like any sane person would. No, he naturally assumes it's a burglar, who broke in to take a shower.

The fact that the door was locked tells a story. He's gone berserke, she's locked herself in the bathroom, and he's gone and got his gun and shot through the door. Why else would she lock the door?

That's my theory anway.
He claims that they were in love, but I've heard that he was just on the rebound when they met.

Guilty. And he's not all there.

And he's not all there.

I'm just waiting for him to use the God defence. Apparently he's the God-fearin' type.

He has various ministers praying for him...

I think they're going out on a limb...
