Blade Runner

If you follow the sensational news, you've already heard that Oscar Pistorius, known in the sports world as the Blade Runner, is on trial in Pretoria for shooting to death the young woman he was sleeping with. He claims that he woke in the middle of the night and mistook her for an intruder. That might sound far fetched, except for testimony on Monday that Pistorius once attacked his own deluxe washing machine, mistaking it for an intruder. (Warning: this was real testimony.) I hate to say it, but Pistorius must be a bad person. Attacking an innocent machine that washes, rinses and spins your reeking sports clothing is something no gentleman would think of doing. Was Pistorius raised in a barn?
