Accident? Shades of Claudine Longet killing Spider Sabich.

Neighbors heard loud arguing earlier that night.

Back when SNL was funny....they did a great bit on the Spider Sabich shooting gallery.

´.....I think he´s getting up again !´

As a runner I have great admiration for Oscar Pistorius and what he has accomplished. This makes me terribly sad and I hope the allegations turn out to be untrue and that this truly was an accident.

Blame it on Columbian drug dealers. It worked once. .

Ahem!!! Yeah, right. I always go for my .357 magnum whenever I hear noises at night in the master bedroom bathroom - because it could never be my wife or child!!! What a sckumbag that Pistorius is...and his Olympic fakelegs drama was also a huge pile of overhyped PC rubbish, not to mention stupid (to say the least).

Yet another depraved athlete who has gotten used to getting everything he wants and being held accountable for very lttle.

Colonel Cooper´s Rules of Firearm Safety:

Rule 1: All guns are always loaded.
Rule 2: Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
Rule 3: Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
Rule 4: Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

You can break any two of these without a disaster.

Looks like a primary violation of Rule Four.

Reuters said they had been dating for a year.

And off we go, calling names and ready to hang this guy on zero evidence. Surreal.

From the Reuters article:

South Africa has some of the world´s highest rates of violent crime, and many home owners have weapons to defend themselves against intruders, although Pistorius´ complex is surrounded by a three meter high wall and electric fence.

In 2004, Springbok rugby player Rudi Visagie shot dead his 19-year-old daughter after he mistakenly thought she was a robber trying to steal his car in the middle of the night. (Snip) recent media interviews with Pistorius revealed he kept an assortment of weapons in his home.

"Cricket and baseball bats lay behind the door, a pistol by his bed and a machine gun by a window," Britain´s Daily Mail wrote in a profile published last year.

I thought he was a very impressive guy.
I´ll wait for more facts, thank you.

#6 may be one of the ugliest posts we´ll see today.

Sometimes things are ugly. And we have a right and duty to say it.

What an awful Valentine Surprise!

The line for the Gun Control Lobby will now

form on The Left.

( Just follow the faux weeping and wailing.)

He mistook her for Rutger Hauer.

Whites in South Africa live in mortal fear of home invasions. They live behind high fences with guard dogs. I have a distant cousin whose elderly mother was beaten nearly to death in a home invasion about 15 years ago. She never fully recovered. I can see how something like this could happen.

If we had Valentine´s Day control she would still be alive.

I agree with #14. I´ve been to South Africa, and every white home is an armed camp. Black on White crime is rampant. My close friend is a 70 year-old woman who was set upon by rapists while walking the few feet from her car in the carport to her door. Hubby came out with his handgun and chased them off.

Other reports say there have been previous incidents of domestic trouble and neighbors heard a woman screaming before the gun shot. Doesn´t sound good for Oscar.

Since he´s a national hero this will be deemed an accident.

Thank you number 11. And tsk! tsk! number 10 - perhaps a bit too touchy are we?

Look on the bright side...
at least this incident didn´t happen in Chicago.

And lest we lose all sense of proportion...

"I hate when that happens!!" ... There... that´s better now.

Can´t a guy even make a simple mistake?

Probably more to this story.
