OSCAR Pistorius is condemned and the girl canonised. Shame, what justice.

OSCAR has bible verses tattooed onto his body – pity "thou shalt not kill" wasn't one of them!

A MAN arrested for rape in Johannesburg is handcuffed. In Pretoria Oscar is arrested for allegedly killing his girlfriend and no handcuffs. I am confused.

OSCAR Pistorius: premeditated murder or a fit of inappropriate, uncontrollable, spiteful rage? Cops please don't botch this case like the Inge Lotz case.

TWO families have lost their children. One beautiful soul forever and one whose life, career and future is in tatters! Sad!

MARK Wiggett, what a sick cartoon in yesterday's Herald.

WELL done, Robin Peterson. Always maintained that you are our most underrated cricketer. You can become a serious allrounder.

ANDRE Vlok, thank you. As an attorney you have the right background to assist rape victims and bring about more convictions for rapists. I commend you for your initiative and willingness to use your time to help others. Thank you to all involved.

BOB McChlery, South African men will gladly sort out rapists if you will catch then and mark them for us. How do you recognise a rapist unless he is raping? Please enlighten us!

ED Gutsche, you have hit the nail on the head! Fire them all and hire some of the many competent people out there who deserve a job based on their qualifications and nothing else – I agree they are a bunch of mamparas!
