Oscar Pistorius: The Sentence

Just for Paul Hjul - your favourite author, Eusebius McKaiser. Very strong statement he is making... :D

I cannot for the life of me understand why a publication like IOL gives this Eusebius idiot a platform. Unless it is that controversy, no matter how trashy, is good for page-views and revenue, and damn any journalistic standards.

I'm developing a phobia - every time I see anything written by Eusebius I feel like kotching.
 
So he will be in hospital basically. What a joke. As I said before oscar got away with murder

I...............don't...........care...............the fact of it all is that his freedom was taken away from him yesterday. whether he is in the prison cells itself or the hospital side of it, the mere fact is that he is not able to do as he wants to anymore for whatever period of time this all takes. what you do not understand marine is that this WILL rehabilitate him for sure. having your every ounce of freedom taken away from you is terrible. yes he killed reeva etc and the court case has been done and it's all dusted now. but imagine for one millisecond that one day you are a free person and the next you are in prison. he has fallen and hard. he will never ever get the sponsors that he once had, that's a fact. this is not the tiger woods or lance Armstrong cases, these 2 did not kill people. Oscar killed a person and that has a mighty impact on him for the rest of his life.

one only has to look at the reaction world wide i.e. the Olympics committee announcing that he will not be allowed to compete for 5 years. but in saying that, what are the chances of him being able to get a visa for the next country that hosts the next Olympics? if you look at the criteria for the countries required for entering their domains, you will see that one cannot have a criminal history and if you do have a criminal history the country will not allow you into their land.

you need to take all this into consideration as well. Oscar i'm afraid is finished.
 
What justice it was Murder, one only has to compare a person standing in a large square or rectangular steel tank, fire four shots at any position?
The odds of a ricochet hitting the shooter are far too great now compare this to a small toilet with ceramic tiles cemented to plaster and brick. With shots fired through the door missing a person inside either by a direct hit or ricochet would be impossible.
Oscar is a nutter I think we will hear more about this guy in the future just hope no one else is hurt only him.

Yes, almost certainly for clickbait, although I do believe good ol' Eusebius believes what he writes. Print media is dying in this country, so they need to increase revenues in other ways...
 
J Eusebius McKaiser. Very strong statement he is making... :D

Given that these were her findings, after listening to the arguments in mitigation and aggravation of sentence, she would have been merciless, frankly, if she imposed the maximum possible sentence for this offence.


Yes she did impose the maximum sentence, and she said exactly that and also quoted relevant law.

Journalism in this country is in the toilet.

So what? He deserves to lose everything what he holds dear. Money, deals and flashy life. 10 months is not enough to sort him out.

This is not cast in stone. You can have it waived. This is exactly how the ANC politicians travel.

do you honestly think that the prison sentence is the thing to "sort him out"? he was sorted out the second he fired that first shot and realised he was done for. after he fired the next three shots he was history. he was already serving a prison sentence from the moment the news broke that he had killed RS. right from the get go his sponsors withdrew, all ads that had him in it were withdrawn. he knew already he was done for. he has been in "prison" from the 14 February 2013. it doesn't matter that he went to some restaurant or bar after the fact, he was already finished and he knew it.

I completely disagree with everything you have written. In his eyes I am willing to bet he thought with his fame and fortune he would get off.
He still continued to try pick women up, go to clubs, go out to restaurants and carry on like he was before.
This shows firstly no remorse and secondly that he probably thought he would walk, excuse the pun.
Some people cannot be rehabilitated and I am willing to bet he will be in he news again for all the wrong reasons.

Something that also concerned me was how "quickly" he managed to get a new girlfriend after the incident.

Publishing Eusebius-type rubbish can only work against them though. One is going to look at such sites only if you have a modicum of trust in what they write, some small respect for their opinions: now, if I think of IOL, I will think "arsehole Eusebius" kotch kotch, and seek out the news elsewhere. Being controversial just to get clicks is very short-sighted.

Good points raised there
