'Time' puts Pistorius on cover

[daveza]

Charles Manson even denies the allegations that he told other people to kill people.

If Charles Manson told me I was a man I would still check inside my shorts to make sure.

He was never going to get out. There is little incentive for him to lie.

They are talking about America.

Not that SA serial killers get any attention, there was a guy who killed almost 50 women, and South Africans don't even know his name. We all know Charles Manson as a serial killer though, don't we? The irony being that Charles Manson didn't actually kill anyone.

It IS rich though, America is very violent.

Only certain parts are violent, most parts are cool.

He has applied for parole 12 times - more than enough incentive to lie.

Actually, his best chance probably would've been saying that he told other people to kill people.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

SA 31.8 / 100 000 per annum intentional homicide rate


USA 4.8 / 100 000


so I guess it's fair to say our 'culture of violence' is significantly worse than the USA's
