Oscar "Blade Runner" Pistorius released on parole from South African prison after 8 years

Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympian who murdered his model girlfriend inside his home in 2013, was quietly released on parole from a South African prison on Friday, serving only half his sentence.
The disgraced runner secretly left Atteridgeville Prison in Pretoria out of the public’s view and has since arrived “home,” the country’s corrections department announced.
“The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) is able to confirm that Oscar Pistorius is a parolee, effectively from 5 January 2024,” the statement read. “He was admitted into the system of Community Corrections and is now at home.”

Pistorius had been serving his 13-year and five-month sentence for killing his girlfriend, model and law graduate Reeva Steenkamp, 29.
The multi-gold medal Paralympic runner shot Steenkamp four times through a bathroom door on Valentine’s Day.
During his murder trial, which began in 2014, Pistorius claimed he mistook his girlfriend for a burglar while he used ammunition designed to inflict maximum damage to the human body.
He was initially sentenced in 2014 by a high court to 5 years in jail for culpable homicide.
The South African Supreme Court of Appeal later found Pistorius guilty of murder, a more serious charge in late 2015.
The Olympian was sentenced to six years in 2016 before prosecutors appealed again in 2017 saying it was too lenient of a sentence and more than doubled Pistorius’ jail time.

I wonder how many dumb bimbos will line up to be his girlfriend, to further their IG model career?

Is it more humane if he had shot her with FMJ? What's the point of shooting someone with a gun unless maximum damage is the desired outcome?

I thought the same exact thing.

That guy doesn’t deserve to walk (pun) out after 8 years. That was some serious roid rage he had going on that night.

You're just accustomed to the US justice system and the long sentences imposed here. Many democratic nations outside of the US don't put people away for life unless the crimes are very extreme.

How much more extreme does it have to be?

Where does blasting away your SO through a bathroom door rank on the scale?

Take Canada for example. Russell Williams was a colonel in the Canadian Air Force. He raped and killed 2 women and broke into a bunch of houses to steal women's lingerie. Even that guy is eligible for parole in 25 years.

What is this sentence in there for? Yeah, I have a shite ton of FMJ ammo for target practicing. But once I'm back home the hollow points are back in the magazine.

Why are you surprised by this? Murderers in NOLA and other democrat cities serve about the same amount of time nowadays thanks to activist judges and prosecutors
