    I gathered from his posts, that he was still at uni and was involved with some sort of 'games' union at his uni.
    On that basis, I doubt if he could have enlightened us on this topic. Maybe when there are more facts instead of less facts, things will become clearer for us all.

    S Africa is just fecking horrible, I thought beautiful place, et etc etc, but apartheid rages on, it's a crime ridden hole in my opinion, but that doesn't really give any leeway to this crime. If you shoot someone you know who is doing nothing wrong, then that is that.

    He is defintiely guilty, no question, and any defence would be total bollocks.
    He shoots someone at 4 in the morning? What did she do, break in? She was there all the time and he has an argument and shoots her (sorry kills her)
    Bloody outragous. Should be locked up and the key thrown away.

    Cheers mate. It happened about 4 years ago, in May around 3 AM on a Saturday I live right near the centre of Northampton on a main road near the hospital so there is always people around at that time. They got through reinforced glass doors at the front of the house and took the whole entire contents of downstairs including things which would of took at least two people to move and they walked a considerable distance with our stuff because we found scattered on nearby streets, so I reckon there was a big mob of them and that winds me up a lot more.

    Not saying excessive force is cool but I can understand why people will use it to defend themselves and their property. With the Pistorius case I trust the South African justice system will do it's job properly and fairly, especially if he has history of being violent towards his girlfriend.

    Kevin Webster has a far better chance of getting off.

    Worked in Jo'burg in the late nineties. Only place I have worked where I had to ask visitors to my office if they were carrying a weapon and, if they were, insisting the put it in the gun safe in the lobby before lettng them in. Security at the house was incredible, whilst there we had 8 attempted beak ins - all foiled by a private security company. On one occasion the burglars ran leaving behind a 7 year old who they were going to insert through the window once they had used a car jack to create a gap in the bars.

    However the gated communities are like living inside a high securty prison. There is no way an intruder could get close to a property inside the walls so the mistaken identity defence is a crock.
