Pistorius, guilty of culpable homicide!

One of my favorite things to write about, yessss, Oscar Pistorius!

Culpable homicide is the South African term for “unintentionally, but illegally killing a person”. Pistorius didn’t have a firearms-license, but even so, he owned a gun!

The reading of the verdict began Thursday. Masipa stated that the prosecutors failed to prove that Pistorius planned on killing his girlfriend after an argument. I have to agree and that one. Because I think he killed in blind rage. Dear Oscar is known for having a bad temper. Anyways, Masipa said that the plaintiffs gave only circumstantial evidence. South African media reported that prosecutors are amazed at the ease with which Masipa rejected the, indictment murder. The prosecution therefore is likely to appeal against the verdict, and I really hope they do!

On Friday the famous, disabled South African athlete Oscar Pistorius, or ‘blade runner’, has been found guilty of culpable homicide. Judge Thokozile Matilda Masipa found evidence that the 27-year old Pistorius on February 14^th 2013 (yes people Valentine day of all days) his 29-year old girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp shot and killed!

Oscar Pistorius shot and killed Steenkamp February 14, 2013 by shooting multiple times through a closed door. Although Pistorius did not have the intention to kill Reeva Steenkamp, he acted consciously and much too rushed with excessive force.

The sentence will be determined sometime later. Pistorius faces a long prison sentence, possibly up to 15 years. On Friday Oscar Pistorius was also convicted of a shooting incident in a crowded restaurant. Two other charges related to Pistorius' firearms and ammunition, Masipa considered unproven.

South African media reported that prosecutors are amazed at the ease with which Masipa rejected the, indictment murder. The prosecution therefore is likely to appeal against the verdict, and I really hope they do!

Let’s be honest here, if you feel threatened. If you think you have to shoot, in order to protect yourself, and the people who are in your house at that moment. You locate everyone before you fire multiple times through a closed door. What did dear Oscar do? He grabbed his gun and acted like the lunatic he his.

For the record, don’t point a gun if you don’t intent on shooting someone. Only point a gun if you really have the intension of shooting a person.

Horror House Sold!

Many people would not want to buy a house where a notorious murder was committed, but the new owner is very delighted with his new home. The South African is the new owner of the house where athlete Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The joy is undoubtedly due to the sharp purchase. The new owner paid about half the market value for the villa in Pretoria.

Oscar Pistorius, from a rising star to a killer.

Athlete Oscar Pistorius, who has been convicted of the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, became an athlete star in the summer of 2011. Almost two years later, his star fell quickly when he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. “A mistake”, he says of the shooting. He shot through a closed door where he “said” he suspected a burglar. The judge considered murder unproven but found Pistorius guilty of culpable homicide.

In the summer of 2011, Pistorius wrote sports history when he, the first disabled athlete, competed with the 'normal' athletes at the World Athletics Championships in South Korea. A year later the fame of the South African with two artificial legs made ​​of carbon reached a highlight. 'Blade Runner' was a participant in the Olympic Games in London. Shortly afterwards, he was the main attraction at the Paralympic Games, where he won his sixth gold medal in the 400 meters. Yes, the man was good at what he did. Too bad dear Oscar was a bit of a lunatic.

In February 2013, the sports hero became ‘the killer’ because he had shot and killed his girlfriend. The now 27-year-old Pistorius does not deny that he shot Steenkamp. He said that he shot in panic because he thought there was a burglar in his house. In the courtroom, he was often completely off the map. This summer Pistorius sold his house due to financial problems; the house in which Steenkamp was killed. Pistorius had to sell the house in order to pay for his defense.

Pistorius hit by a congenital defect as 11 months old baby lost his lower legs. Even before the shooting accident that took place 2013, he had a history of violence and aggressive behavior. In September 2009 he was arrested for assault. In the same year he was hospitalized by a boating accident. Pistorius was on the Vaal River and in his reckless behavior he rammed a pier. Pistorius had, according to an ex-girlfriend always a gun, even though he didn’t had a license for it.

I guess we all know about the shooting incident in the restaurant back in March 2014? People with a behavior like this are unstable and can become a danger to themselves, and to others. Didn’t they know how unstable dear Oscar was, or did they and just ignored it?

No matter how you look at it, an innocent woman got shot and killed. She will never see the sun rising, never have a family of her own. Never will her family see her beautiful smile ever again. Why? Because Oscar Pistorius thought he could solve everything with a gun in his hand.
