"(Reuters) - South African "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee who became one of the biggest names in world athletics, was charged on Thursday with shooting dead his girlfriend at his upscale home in Pretoria."

She was someones daughter,sister,friend who died at the hands of an animal.

He's got a leg up on OJ as far as athletes that shoot their partners go.
Apparently he claims that he thought she was an intruder which is why he shot her. But experts are saying when it goes to court he won't have a leg to stand on.

he won't have a leg to stand on.
:rofl

He's quite wealthy though, so at least he'll be able to stump for a good lawyer

After being asked how he felt. he said "I'd give an arm and a- oh wait"

Oh good god. Someone's daughter DIED people, and there was a history of domestic disturbances between them. Not a Golly-geemed thing funny about this at all.

All it took was the first idiot to chime in then the rest will follow

Absolutely, because taking the piss out of amputees is hilarious :bhead
Whilst I understand catharcism there's a limit isn't there? Or is it possible to get a laugh about child abuse and rape as well?

Thats OK then, its just me being up tight I suppose thinking that its anything but abhorrent when people in positions of trust and authority sexually abuse young boys and destroy their lives.
Apologies, you're right. Rape of young boys is a real giggle.

That's not the worst of it... People even make jokes about nuclear war!!!
Well... Yeah. I guess it's just you "being up tight". Sorry.

Like I said, I understand catharcism, I have served in the Police Service and Military where it is a vital part of coping, I was merely pointing out that there are limits, and the ones I mentioned are way up there. Particularly laughing about amputees on a forum populated by a good percentage of current and ex military and guys whose friends and loved ones have been injured in such ways. Within certain units there is a humour associated with injuries, I was part of a group that delivered half a pair of slippers to a lad who was in hospital minus a foot from a tanking accident, within the confines of a tight knit unit that is completely acceptable behavior with definite benefits. Nevertheless I guarantee you if an outsider had taken the piss out of the guy he would have wound up in the bed next to him. But essentially what you are talking about is not banter to help people deal with something uncomfortable, it is about sick jokes for a cheap laugh, and maybe I am being up tight about it, maybe I just occasionally put myself in the shoes of the parents of the choirboy who has been abused, and realise perhaps it aint that funny or clever?

Naw... I still think you're just being up tight, but that's alright; you have a right to be up tight if you want.
