I have been following the Oscar Pistorius and Reeva
Steenkamp story for a while now. I didn’t even know the man until his name was
all over the news for shooting his girlfriend. Then I found out that I was the
ignorant one. The man was some sort of legend. I watched his interviews prior
to the whole brouhaha. Nice chap, soft spoken and his smile was a winner. The story
before he gave was that he thought the very beautiful model who had been dating
for a while was an intruder so he shot her and it was all a huge and
unfortunate mistake. The world felt sorry for the man but of course there were
people that didn’t believe it was an accident and the girl’s family wanted to
know more

The story seems to have changed. The prosecution believes Oscar
might have killed Reeva in a blind rage and even have a theory backed with some
new evidence; a bloodied cricket bat and the deceased’s iPad which they believe
might contain a message Reeva got that sparked the whole drama. And there are
reports that the Police had visited his home more than once following calls
about domestic violence in the last three months.

News sites are now flowing with angry comments from people
that once idolized the man. With Reeva’s mum asking for her little girl and Pistorius’
weeping in court; the situation is a very very sad one. His case has been
compared to that of OJ Simpson with people saying he might actually get away
with murder.

| A South African news website today published this as what they believe happened in Oscar's home that night. |
Of course he is innocent until proven guilty and I think Femi
Fani-Kayode’s article is a bit harsh on the deceased. This just shows us that
anger, steroids and guns don’t mix well. The negative effects of steroids
include even ‘partial delusion’ where the person just gets blinded for a while
and does something very crazy.

| A very lovely couple. Very sad.. |
You remember Chris Benoit the WWE wrestler who killed
himself and his wife and beautiful son? That fatal act was blamed on his head
injuries and steroids.

Maybe Pistorius was pissed at Reeva for something because
it does seem strange that he shot her more than once and killed her. So he was
going to kill the intruder? I don’t know him but was he like always expecting
an intruder who was going to kill him and had to act fast? It could also be
that it was really an accident. The only person that knows what really happened
that day is poor Reeva.

It is such a sad way to die...like you, I had no idea about him, I could not even connect him to the blade guy as he is called...I just hope the truth comes out someday.
ReplyDeleteWho shoots an intruder more than once when it is not like they were fighting...sigh, life is so sad.
It is really a sad situation. I hope they find out the truth too and let the law take its course. Poor girl.
