    Blade runner (Albert Pistorius) a murderer???

    We have talked about this guy in the past, and whether his artificial legs provided any advantages as a runner. The IOC said no, and he ran in the last Olympics.

    Now, it appears he may have murdered his girlfriend:

    Sounds like he's claiming he thought she was a burglar.

    Sounds also like she was trying to surprise him for Valentine. Incredible...

    Edit: I think his name is Oscar, btw.

    Why you say that? Just cuz the prior domestic incidents? If shit was so bad why would she have rolled up on him when she must have known he had the gats in his room? Whatever happened I'm guessing he is able to buy his way out of it.

    +1 based solely on the internet headlines, rumor and innuendo. And my own jaded view of humankind.

    Would you feel better about it if Joran Van Der Sloot offered to provide Pistorius with a character reference?

    People take it too far but making it to the Olympics is probably more than you will ever do.

    He might be a cripple but you're a lame!

    Oscar Pistorius shoots his girlfriend.

    How could this happen? He didn't even play football and become warped by concussions.

    Can he still join the lawsuit?

    Radio announcer said he is having a hard time finding a defense attorney, because he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

    Only if Amanda Knox is willing to co-sign.
