You want more firearms, you get more of this.
Thought he was shooting at an intruder-that's a load of crap. He knew exactly who he was shooting at.. His girlfriend is the one he wanted to kill which is exactly what he did. He's just a cold blooded murderer. His defense will be that he's innocent due to mental defect
As painful and tragic as this whole saga is, I think we should give Oscar a chance and not come to conclusions and allow him to be innocent till proven guilty. I personally find it hard to believe that someone who has worked hard all his life, faced with so many adversities in life would throw it all away so carelessly. You need to look in the eyes to discern these things, I don't see blank or cruelty in his eyes. I pray that the truth will emerge as I pray for the family of Reeva.
I really admire and share Pierce Morgan's insistence on better gun control laws. Whether Lanza or Pistorius, whether pre-meditated or roid range, the common regret is that innocent lives are brutally ended. And then again each story ends with the "killer was mentally unstable." So is the new analogy killer equals mental illness as homicide equals a vent for psychiatric relief?
