Poor baby. He's suffered so much.

South Africa has some very weird laws. It seems Pistorious was cleared of murder charges because he didn't know that Steenkmap was behind the locked toilet door when he shot through it and killed her on Valentine's Day last year. Does this mean it was all right to shoot through the door and kill a burglar? Is death really a suitable penalty for someone who is stealing items from you and who is already trapped in inside a locked bathroom?  Or is this another example of how a celebrity and sports figure avoids severe punishment while an ordinary person would suffer the worst consequences?

To my friends who may be reading this: If you don't get an e-mail from me it's because my e-mail seems to have disappeared, replaced by a promotion by Apple. Being a Luddite, I haven't a clue how to restore it.
