D.B. of the Week: Oscar Pistorius

-
Yeah.

The D.B. of the Week, based simply on the fact that he was released from jail already, just a single year into the sentence for shooting his beautiful girlfriend to death while she cowered in a bathroom, and he pretended that he was scared because he heard intruders...

...is Oscar Pistorius.

We remember Oscar.

D.B.

He got one year for ending her life!

One year!

The South African parole board released him because of over-crowding in their prisons.

You can't keep a murderer for more than a year???

What the hell kind of crime is going on there?

But, of course, his sentence isn't quite over:

Oscar now gets house arrest for four more years and can not be released from that until October of 2019.

The poor guy has to live in his uncle's mansion and suffer through the time he has left.

Talk about cruel and unusual punishment!

So...

...from February 2013 when he fired shots into her until she died...

...until October of 2019...

Oscar will have been punished by:

Two dumb trials.

A year behind bars.

And 4 years in a country club.

For murder!

And you just know that it's going to happen, don't you?

Someone is going to be an even bigger D.B. than Oscar the D.B.

Someone is going to interview him about all of this...

...maybe from his uncle's mansion...

And Oscar is going to cry...

...and lie...

...and he will somehow be accepted back into the lives of some of his fans who liked him because he ran without feet.

He's still responsible for her death!

And one final question:

House arrest, right?

Is that an ankle bracelet?

Doesn't it just slide right off?

I can't stand this story.

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
