South African amputee runner, Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend.

and what do you think will happen to him? any prison time... or will he walk? i think he knew it was her and he will not be charged for murder. im not against the right to bear arms but i think wrong how easily someone can kill a "trespasser" and claim "i feared for my life and family"

I think he shot her intentionally. I heard he was release from jail awaiting trial. I am not so sure that was a good idea.

Anyone famous can kill someone and get away with it b/c of fame and money so I am sure but if everyone does not go crazy for the celebrity he is going to jail.

Duh, of course it was on purpose. First of all, you can't just all of sudden forget the face of the girlfriend you been going out with and then account this person as a "intruder."

But, what does it matter, everyone is happy for his bail and he had a good defense team under his belt. In fact, his coach is ready to put him back in his daily routine for track practice. Everything is "happy ever after" for Pistorius and very soon his wife he killed will just be a memory in the back of his head.

Yeah, his story was ridiculous. He hears something in the bathroom and the first thing he assumes is an intruder? If I hear something in the bathroom I assume it's the person who lives with me first, an animal second, plumbing third, I was half asleep and delusional fourth, a ghost fifth (that's kind of a joke but you get the point), and when all of that is eliminated I begin to consider an intruder.

Then, as I'm considering an intruder I start to use my brain; why are they in the bathroom? Why are they taking so long in the bathroom? Exactly how dangerous is an intruder who spends X minutes just hanging out (with the fucking lights on btw) in the bathroom?

Pretend though that there is an intruder in the bathroom, with the effing lights on, who wants to like steel conditioner or whatever. I still don't start firing, because it's obviously a retarded intruder who has no idea how to intrude. I open the door and see what's up, I ask them what's up, I give them a chance to fucking leave without anyone dying, then call the cops when they're gone.

At best Oscar is a pussy and a dick.

But all that's bullshit.

He killed her on purpose.
