Oscar grabs the headlines

and no, i don't mean that little gold figure that gets handed out.

i mean the paralympic celebrity from south africa, oscar pretorius, who managed to shoot his girlfriend by accident... twice!

Not once, but twice.... in the arm and head.

he has now been charged with murder, not even man slaughter, but they won't put him before a judge till tomorrow!

anyway, he is a great character, great olympian  and now who knows.

the eyes of the world are now on south africa!

maybe, another country that needs gun laws and gun control

Gun control in the USA

with all the shootings in schools, and the latest teenage cheer leader shot for being in a park, when she was mistaken for a gang member, surely they need gun control laws?

I mean, even the police can't get it right! They opened fire on a car without even confirming it was the right one - just because it LOOKED similar!

they were hunting a cop gone bad, and instead shot and woundedn 2 innocent women. If they can't confirm they have the right car, or the difference between one guy and 2 women in a car, or even manage to shoot properly if a group of them only wounded 2 people.... they need retraining!

Gun laws are a must, the old crap of 'it is our right, in the constitution, to defend ourselves' is crap and out of date - all they are doing is killing innocent people.

the world is different now, except for the gun loving idiots who can't move with the times

Tazer gun's

What next? A man has died after being shot with tazer / stun gun's by police in Australia. But he had to be shot 28 times! This has caused human rights groups etc to question their safety? But surely if he had to be shot 28 times then he was seriously resisting arrest? Who would really want to have that number of electric shocks for fun? And, consider the alternative. If the police felt the need to tazer him, the other option was to shoot him with a standard hand gun. Maybe it's just me but he would have died with fewer that 28 bullets in him!

violence in the world today?

What is going on at the moment? As if we don't have enough natural disaster's n deaths to deal with. The real IRA seem to want to try and restart the troubles in Ireland, killing soldiers and innocent civilians (the pizza guy's are targets as they delivered food to the soldier's!). Even Gerry Adams has disowned them, not wanting any part in renewed violence. Now we have two deaths in France. Plus all the riots around the G20 and NATO summit's. How do these people live and survive? Or are they on benefits, which if they are should be removed and given to more deserving people, those that actually want to get a proper job, work and pay taxes to support their country!
