Chicog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 RT @mpoppel: RT @RAGreeneCNN: BREAKING Police OPPOSE bail for suspect in Oscar Pistorius home shooting Hmmm doesn't sound like he accidentally shot a burglar, does it? Unless he had an illegal firearm. Or is this an envelope-inducing exercise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamhar Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 First of all, my sympathies goes out to her and her family. As far as the humor goes, I take humor where i can find it. I hope when i go, my friends can lift a beer, joke at my expense, and remember the fun times we had together. but thats just me. For Oscar, Dude, <deleted> were you doing? just smh.

JetsetBkk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Of course we all sympathise with the girl's family and friends. It almost goes without saying, and yet some expect it to be said in every post. So, RIP beautiful lady. You picked a wrong 'un. As for Pistorius, I always thought he was a cheat. Sure, he did good things for people with similar handicaps, but he should never have been allowed to race in the Paralympics. I can't understand why people don't see that having springy extensions to your legs makes it easier to run fast than having toes, feet, ankles and all the pain and jarring that they must produce. He even complained that another guy with longer springy extensions was cheating! What a farce. As for the humour, it's all in good taste. Anyway, what he did winning gold at the Paralympics was an incredible achievement. Quite a feat, you might say.

JetsetBkk Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Looks like the defence will be that he thought it was a burglar in his house, didn't know it was his girlfriend, so naturally fired 4 shots through the door as he thought his life was in danger. And if you believe that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even complained that another guy with longer springy extensions was cheating! What a farce. "Never have been allowed to race in Paralympics ?" Why? The complaining is just a Normality in nearly, every competitive sport and made from many athletes, football-soccer players, F1 drivers ect! No farce at all. Look at the Formula 1 and its complaining, such Blades (can) come out of the same ingenuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you believe that... I think I read somewhere that neighbors heard fighting immediately before. She probably locked herself in the bathroom for safety and then guns did there thing. She was a nice looking bad. Good enough to drive a man crazy for sure. Dudes just have to remember there is always another just around the corner.
