Would you welcome Pistorius back to sport?

The IPC certainly would if he avoids jail but not me because Pistorius will always be remembered first as a homicide convict, he has devastated one family's lives and I hope he gets jailed next month.

Hopefully he'll get a lengthy jail term in October which will see him long beyond retirement age.
So you think anyone who commits a crime shouldn't be allowed to work again?
That's a horrible thing to say.
I was thinking the same thing myself.
No, it appeared to me that that poster was much more considering the circumstances here rather being as universal and absolutist as you appear to be.
He wasn't convicted of murder though and I think we can be fairly sure the judge knows more about South African law than you do.
It's not a petty crime, he took a girls life away from her, he shot her multiple times and killed her. Even if they are not calling it murder, it was murder.
Lets be honest and say the justice system in SA is wanting and many can and do get away with murder. A lie can get you pretty far...
Oh right, you have extensive knowledge of the law in South Africa then do you?
He said it was an accident, he may live in a dangerous country, however he had a lot of security and was in a gated house. If he was very worried you may get your gun, but you would also notify all of the staff you have ready in case something happens.
Not to mention that she was awake and texting and neighbours heard screaming and shouting before it happened.
Oh right, I forgot you had an overall view of what I do and don't know.
It was a question.
He'll never get invited to race in big able bodied Grand Prix meetings again and never get the big sponsorship deals again. He may well compete in future Paralympics (doubt he'll ever get his form to the level to make the Olympics again now) but his days of being the poster boy of paralympic sport are long gone.
