The Blade Runner From The Olympics Murdered His Girlfriend

Yahoo - South African police have charged Olympic star Oscar Pistorius with the murder of his girlfriend, who was shot in the sprinter’s home Thursday. Pistorius, 26, kept a collection of powerful weapons at his gated, luxury South African home as a means of protection against his country’s soaring crime rate, according to a British writer who had exclusive access to the Olympic sprinter. Early reports had the alleged incident being reported as an accident, but police spokesperson Brigadier Denise Beukes told the Associated Press that information did not come from police and that “it would be very premature and very irresponsible of me to say what actually has happened.” According to those initial reports, Pistorius mistook Steenkamp, a 30-year-old television personality and model, for an intruder as she entered his residence at 3 a.m. and allegedly shot her four times in the arms and head. “It is alleged that he thought his girlfriend, who had come in to try to surprise him for Valentine’s Day, was an intruder,” South African journalist Kalay Maistry told Sky News. Steenkamp and Pistorius, known as the Blade Runner for the prosthetic blades on his legs that allowed him to compete, are understood to have met in November and embarked upon a whirlwind romance. The actress’ Twitter account painted the picture a joyful relationship when she asked her followers what they were planning for Valentine’s Day.

Every morning when I wake up there is one story that is dominating the news. One story that everybody has emailed to me. Today it was this one. Everybody sending me emails with the headline “Blade Runner Murdered Somebody!”  Jesus Christ!  God damn thought Harrison Ford killed a dude. Seriously what are you people doing? You got to clarify it was the dude from the Olympics with blades on his feet.

And yeah no shit he murdered his girlfriend. Anybody with a brain could have seen that coming a mile away. I knew this guy was in trouble the second he got his dick kicked in by the other legless guy in the Paraolympics. You think you’re the best legless sprinter out there and then boom suddenly your entire life is turned upside down. That would mess with anybody’s brain. Kind of like when Rocky was throwing rocks at his own statue.
