I'm shocked that people on an Internet message board are making jokes about a story involving a double amputee with two blade runner style legs that shot his girlfriend.

John Cleese Tweeted that Pistorius' defense would be "that he was absoultely legless at the time".

You forgot "smokin' hot supermodel" in front of 'girlfriend'.

Yeah, she was gorgeous.

Dr. Richard Kimble says he's guilty.

In a serious question.... when admitting him to prison, what do they do with his prosthetic legs? Are they considered a weapon? He could remove them and beat someone with them. Is it possible to file a shank out of the material of the leg? Create a lock pick? To me it seems like they would have to, but I'm sure in this country it would cause a huge outcry from advocates and the ADA and what not.

By the time it would take him to remove his prosthesis to use as a weapon, he'd be jumped and beaten to a pulp.

But dependent upon design, I guess he could dismantle one and use any metal piece to make a shiv. But then he'd have to hop over to his potential victim. Who could easily knock him over.

Between Lance Armstrong, Joe Paterno, Tiger Woods and Oscar Pistorius, Nike's having itself quite a run.

Or he could kick his victims

Who is he the Black Knight?

I am also surprised that there were no "He'll walk" jokes.

Pistorius was moved to a "handi-capable" jail while awaiting trial.

Do they have such things here?

i find that interesting. he fought and petitioned to be one of the boys when he was running in the olympics and now needs separate facilities due to his infirmity. hmph.

That makes me think of Costanza. "These women want everything equal. Everything. But when the check comes, where are they?!"

He wasn't wrong about that one, from my experience.

He is disabled and there should be cells that allow him to have some protection. If he is guilty of murder, he should spend time in prison, but he should not be subject to the absolute torture that could potentially arise because of his condition.

I admit I fail to see the link between petitioning to be able to run and the fact that once he takes down his magic spring-blades useful for just that one special activity, he is still a double amputee, and so he likely needs (at least) a special toilet and a shower...

This is better worded.

I think it was more a case of other athletes and the various T&F governing bodies trying to keep him out, more than Pistorious fighting to get himself in.

And I also imagine his home is somewhat differently equipped than yours or mine.

[shafnutz05]

I raised a stink (that wasn't well-received) earlier last year about Pistorious lobbying to be included in the Olympics, but also participating in the Paralympics as well. IMO, either one or the other. If you are a talented enough athlete to participate in the Olympics, you shouldn't be crushing lesser competition in the Paralympics.

On a side note, does anyone else NOT like handicap-accessible bathroom stalls? I don't like all that room around me.

I don't go in them. I just assume people do weird stuff in there.

A South African newspaper is reporting they found a cricket bat covered in blood in his house along with steroids.
