Did anyone watch any of the so called sentencing this morning?

I find it incredible that anyone can say that an appropriate sentence would be 3 years of supervision coupled with 16 hours a month of community service (split between 2 8 hour sessions), bloody hell, what sort of a sentence is that for shooting someone sitting on the khasi?

For a moment I thought that the probation officer advocating this punishment was mixing up shooting someone dead with discharging a gun in a public place ( the restaurant), but no, that was what he thought was appropriate. Going by these guideline Diwani should get off scot free.

It's a fix. The entire trial has been farcical. For starters he should have been remanded in custody. Pathetic excuse of a justice system.

You're not wrong there, Glazed, it certainly seems a very lenient punishment to recommend, the probation officer said Pistorius would be sweeping the museum floor, flipping eck, how big IS this museum that it takes 8 hours to sweep the floor?

He'd be free to commence his athletic training, but I couldn't understand how he would be able to compete if he was under a form of house arrest.

The probation service is another organisation packed to the rafters with limp minded do-gooding cunts. It has no place whatsoever in serious crime.

I take it you are referring to the system in SW Africa (an area which, I believe, you know well), but I reckon it's not that different here either, some iof the decisions you read about in the newspapers make the mind boggle.

I don't think he's a danger to society. I think he's a arrogant short-tempered insecure cunt. But he doesn't deserve prison time given the verdict. Chances are he'll do an OJ and stew in his own juice (no OJ pun intended) and end up fucking himself up somehow. He looks the type.

He wants to continue his sports career. Laughable. He's gonna get booed into oblivion where ever he goes, and that is gonna seriously piss him off. I predict he'll shoot another munter, or maybe even open fire on an opponent or even the spectators. This is a nut job who opened fire in a crowded restaurant remember.

I think he's a very real danger to society. He has obviously got a temper and when he loses it he has fired a gun several times. As for not deserving prison time, I'd say a guilty verdict of manslaughter deserves a lengthy one.

That's all well and good, but if he gets a supervision order, like the probation officer said he should, it's virtually house arrest, so how can he compete? Unless it's in his own garden , which, having disposed of his assets, he doesn't have.

Especially in a crowded restaurant.
