Murderous Blade Runner
Yesterday on Valentines Day we found out that Double Amputee Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius was charged with the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. After becoming a role model for several young kids and all amputee victims around the world that you can compete with the best in any condition, his image and reputation began to disintegrate as the story of this tragedy began to unfold. Police investigators said that there had been previous allegations of domestic nature and previous incidents at their home, but nothing that was ever serious enough to see something like this occur. The girlfriend of the blade runner started the day off happy as can be as she went on twitter to say "It's a beautiful day! Make things happen. Starting my day off with a yummy healthy shake from my boo,". It is so sad to hear about this tragic event that occurred on Valentine's Day when the life of a young model was taken away when killed by several gunshots from Pistorius. It crazy how his image has flipped so rapidly from being a motivational story when being able to compete at such a high level running with the best in the world and representing his country of South Africa, and then having this burden on his life of having the image of being a murderer. I understand that nobody is guilty until they are proven it in court so we don't know if the accusations are too harsh at these times, but it is completely saddening to hear that the innocent life of this model was taken away.
