[HoughMade]

Well, this takes on a new meaning...

A tragic accident. It will be interesting to see how it plays out for sure.

 

[Hoosier Cowboy]

Very tragic indeed and will be interesting to see if it was accidental or murder. His wife was beautiful!

He was married? So he was cheating on her with the girl he killed?

Or did you confuse the term Wife/Girlfriend?

If this goes to trail I do not think he is going to have a leg to stand on.

Ba da bing.

Dang... is it bad that I chuckled?

I almost duped this in the 2A section because it's becoming S.Africa's call to gun bans.


Seriously, I clicked on this thinking it's about the classic movie.

 

[Dorian Gray]

Wait where is Rick Deckard and is this guy a replicant? Probably a Nexus 5.

 

[Bradsknives]

I'm betting she had a foot fetish and was getting ready to dump him.

GF..my bad

 

[woody24]

GF..my bad

After you said wife, I thought I missed something, and thought it became more of an intriguing story.

Either way, this guys life is now eff'd up. Such a shame. And on his twitter feed, the day before I think he posted a comment about giving kids with no legs the ability to walk. Guessing that might be postponed now.

WOW! I bet his PR people were tripping over each other to get online and remove that graphic as fast as they could!

 

[musicmonkey317]

this is hard to believe. imagine all he's been through - yet he's not mentally tough enough to resist committing murder? This smells of foul play...

I think it's interesting.

This happened in South Africa right?
Why is it getting so much attention in the American news media?
Could it be because it makes gun owners look like idiots.

Because he made big news when running in the Summer Olypics this past summer. Everybody knew who he was, and all countries interviewed him for "Being so brave" to run in the olympics.

I haven't heard one negative thing about this as being a bad thing from media about owning a gun. Only people in the comments section have made that connection. That I've seen from the main media.

Because he's a cyborg. Even the British media's covering it heavily.

Pistorius has been found not guilty of murder. Manslaughter is still not ruled out, tho.

Pistorius gets 5 years for manslaughter. His defence team expects him to serve about 10 months.
