Oscar Pistorius

[nevynreally]

I'm surprised there's no thread already about this. Is it because it's not an Australian case?

i think you will find that the definition of ground floor

has generally been accepted as the floor of a building closest to the ground.

Ok Julia

But upstairs is generally the 2nd floor and a ladder would be needed to access a 2nd floor window, lol

My thoughts are that here (in Australia), it would be ground floor on the bottom, then 1st floor etc. In the US, the first floor is what we'd call the ground floor.

The window to the left of Julia's picture looks too small to climb into???

Geez he killed her  , if he was angry, having a dream, steroid rage, what ever he KILLED some ones daughter, some ones baby , some ones sister.

So he has to pay, he really has to serve time or I will not believe in Karma.

that would be the toilet  window.  i think the claim was

the intruder gained entry through the bathroom window and

hid in the toilet ???

And waited until the couple finished their shouting argument because he was scared?

How did he get past the security which costs zillions?

But there was no intruder Julia.  It was his girlfriend.

by claim i meant what pistorius said he believed to

have happened.

bottom line: he intended to shoot whoever was in the bathroom.  If you point a gun at someone and pull the trigger (4 times) chances are you are going to kill that person.  He may not have intended to shoot Reeva, but he sure as heck intended to shoot someone.

As the person in the bathroom hadn't threatened him, it's not really self defence either is it.

Civilians who shoot first, ask questions later shouldn't have guns.
