Well done, congratulations Mr Pistorius...

I hope you lot see now, YET AGAIN, why the average dumba$$ should NOT have a gun...

Now there's a Valentine's Day plan that went wrong if ever I saw one.

(Just guessing, but about the only thing that makes sense of it at the moment).

What a f*ck up

It was said on the radio that his girlfriend tried to climb through the window to surprise him.

He apparently put 4 x 9mm bullets in her...

Surely one would want to see who you are shooting at before you put4 rounds in them!

Hahahahahahahaha! Adrianh i think you are exagerating right there

It is so sad that we live in a country where the crime is so completely out of control and have to resort to sleeping with a firearm under our pillow, visious dogs, barb wire, sensors in the carden, alarm systems, cages around our house because the police cannot curb the crime or respond in a resonable time (around 45 min to an hour if you lucky) and nor can private security companies with a response time average of around 20 min.

I read a post on facebook, some feel they dont need a firearm nor do they believe in God, yet when a friendly breaks in their house, the first thing they do is call someone a firearm, then pray to God that they arrive on time. I do believe however, if you dont think you could shoot and kill a friendly when they break into your house and attack you or your family you shouldnt own a firearm.

It is also sad that people are already judging and they dont even have the facts, merely rumours flying around on the internet.

Just to be clear, I was calling the event a f*ck up, not Oscar (in case anyone thought otherwise).

Its called human nuture; we all like to speculate based on the information that is available.

There may be more to this story, than meets the eye. The cops aren't convinced by his side of the story.

Guns & gungho folks really shouldn't mix...

@Pfuma - That is what was said on Cape Talk by an EWN reporter.
