Gun Runner

These are so funny I almost forgot that someone had been killed.

Looking at the front-page of the S*n this morning, I think they forgot as well.

I couldn't help but draw parallels with Lance Armstrong. To overcome the adversities that both of them did needs an incredibly driven personality type. As we saw with Armstong, he's essentially a sociopath. Determined, yes, but also a bullying control freak.

In the Paralympics, when Pistorious got beaten by the Brazilian guy, they first thing he did was whinge about the other guy ('oooh his legs are too long') rather than look inwardly for any fault with his own performance. Now we hear he has form for violent outbursts. I think it's likely that Pistorius is just a very similar personality type to Lance Armstong - both very selfish individuals with little regard for others.

In a way, incidents like this (and the Kansas Chief lb who shot his gf and then killed himself) are more persuasive arguments for gun control than the mass murders where psycho's gonna psycho.

Seemingly normal people lose control in a argument and grab a gun a shoot the person they are arguing with.

If they didn't have a gun readily to hand, the worst that would happened would the girlfriend's might have got a black eye.

diff. is in S Africa you need a gun in your home, America they just want them.

Having watch Louis theroux docu from here i would even have one in my home.

this is true

My brother lived there for 10 years, and I visited twice

Almost everyone has a gun there because of the general lawlessness in society. He did, hated it.

Yeah I'm a big fan of his.

The one about the American jail system was brilliant.

Not sure how I missed this one.

[Acidmouse]

I have seen every single thing he has done and just reading his book where he goes back to most of his American trips to see how they all doing years on good stuff...

 San Quentin my fav, its 10mins from where our lass is from in San Fran passed it plenty of times ~) nasty nasty people in there.

Definitely. Guns don't kill people, angry people with guns do.  Of course, they could grab a kitchen knife and do the job that way when the red-mist descends, but it's easier to pull a trigger and the effects of a gun shot are generally more substantial.

Much harder to stab someone to death than shoot them.

Jake has just found out about the shooting.

He did a project at school about Pistorius before the Olympics and he was a probably his first sporting hero.

Trying to explain to a 7 year old what happened: you can mark that down as one of the most difficult conversations I've ever had.
