Think that all possibilities have to be investigated and not rush to decisions. Even if there were domestic quarelling doesnt mean for sure there was murder involved. After a full investigation can judgement be given

Any man that would hurt a woman that beautiful (or any woman) is no man, much less a hero.
I wish they would quit calling it a man and hero.
To me it is nothing.

Keep your day job, you’ll never make it as a comedian.
May she rest in peace.

It was too weird that he was allowed to compete with other olympians in the first place. It’s not about who has the best engineer. He made it very clear it was a mistake, when he challenged a fellow amputee as racing with blades that were too long.

Shooting someone through a bathroom door negates the immediacy of danger required for self-defense. If it can be determined that he fired recklessly through the door then this is a clear case of manslaughter. If it is discovered that he intended to harm her when he fired through the door, a charge of murder would easily be sustained in court. His claim of not knowing who was there is ringing very hollow. It looks like another nut job killing someone for sport.

Now folks stop it! Just stop it! Stop this at once! All of you are JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS before any of the evidence has been presented. That is not how due process is supposed to work. Not one of you has the right to presume that Pistorius had anything to do with this brutal murder as NONE of you were there! Not one of you can call for him to be locked up because NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PRESENTED! Stop promoting unfounded accusations! People are innocent until PROVEN guilty! Not the other way round. Stop letting the media form your opinions & mold your unfounded & uninformed conclusions. Let the evidence speak for itself. A father accidentally shot & killed his own daughter a while back mistaking her for an intruder, therefore this could be the case here as well – presuming of course that Pistorius even fired the gun. As I noted we know next to nothing about what actually happened. But what I do see is a media JUMPING to conclusions as per usual. It is not for us to decide as it will be up to the jury based on the evidence presented. The odd knee jerk reactions of the commentators here is appalling & not consistent with the basic tenants of administering a fair trial.

@CharRenee

It told me she was a gold digger. He was a famous person, considered a hero. Not a “handicapp” as you put it.
