Amputee Runner Oscar Pistorius Shoots Girlfriend

Pistorius has seen things you people wouldn’t believe…

It would round the story out nicely if they started looking for a one-armed man…

Oopsie.:smack:

The gf tweeted about a great Valentines day. I’ve heard speculation that maybe she wanted to surprise the guy for Valentines? WAG she arrives in lingerie and a buttoned up coat and uses her key to enter the home. Surprise Honey!!! Bang.

Reports indicate this guy had some serious paranoia issues. Weapons in the bedroom and previous calls to the police.

Such a shame.

I don’t understand what he would’ve been thinking. He just out-and-out shot her dead. Other people just break up their relationships. What could he possibly gain from killing her? He didn’t even try to cover it up or do it sneakily.

This will make a lame TV movie.

All the reports I’ve seen are saying the guy is claiming that he thought there was an intruder.

But, that doesn’t explain the multiple bullet wounds in the lady. You fire once and then you should realize it’s your gf screaming on the floor. Those multiple shots will be hard to explain and may put him in prison for a long time.

Have they reported yet whether the gf lived with him? Or did she enter the house unexpectedly? They’ve been dating awhile and it seems likely that she had a key.

Well, I suppose she could have attacked him… or there was a struggle for the gun…

You know, we really don’t know what happened in that house. Speculation is fine, as long as we remember it’s just guessing and we don’t have all the facts.

I confess, I laughed cuz, I interpreted “affirmative action hires” as a reference to Pistorius being a crip, not a blood.

Basically, Duke, never!

Yep. I find the “coincidence” of there being previous domestic disturbances involving police just a little too much to believe.

He does have legs; they just end above the knees. He has “half-legs”. Certainly more than being just a torso. (nitpick)

He was just lookin’ out for his star player.

I don’t think he’s gonna be able to run away from this charge.

And the previous domestic violence calls kinda cuts the legs out from under the intruder story.

Police Stumped

premeditated murder – Wow, he won’t run away from these charges.

Bravo. Haiku are a dime a dozen so I’m always glad to see someone opt for a higgledy piggledy.

So that pun is even shittier than I initially thought. Good to know.

People of the world and especially the SDMB: stop making shitty puns. Shitty puns are the mind-killer. They are the little death that brings total obliteration. Just say no to shitty puns.

Bullets are certainly an interesting Valentine’s day gift.

I posted this in the other thread but I suppose it belongs here as well…

He was charged with premeditated murder today. So much for the “accident”.
