When it appeared there was one or more intruders in the toilet, he then yelled at his girlfriend to stay where she was, and then told the 'intruder/s to come out or he'd shoot'.
A perfectly viable series of events. There'd be no reason to wake up the other person until you knew whether the noise was a potential danger, or a tree branch tapping on the window (for example) or something equally harmless. You're not trying to pull my leg are you? Is that what you would do? You don't know where your loved one is but you tell her to stay there. You also tell her, I presume, that you are arming yourself to check it out. You get no response and rather than wake her and give her directions, get confirmation, you head to the dunny with your firearm.Really? Edit: I hope you are not a "more firearms" proponent. Great responsibility... Perhaps you should read what I actually wrote??? You have the sequence backwards.....he'd ALREADY left the bedroom with the gun well before he thought it necessary to wake her up. That's a fairly standard sort of behaviour, to be honest. If I hear odd noises at night, I don't immediately awaken everyone else in the house before I go to investigate. After all, most of the time it's likely to be nothing. sorry gizmo but we are not talking Australia we are talking Pretoria SA...where they lived in a secured guarded house.....but where crime was high on the list......[guns handy] do you or would you... grab a GUN in the dark to check out a noise???????.... I dont think so...
but by all accounts its the first thing you do in Pretoria....he was ANGRY... 4 shots tells me he didnt want anyone to leave that room alive....he had plenty of time to ring for help.... had he been on the inside of the door shooting out I could maybe give him a glimmer of doubt.... Here in Australia??...no I wouldn't grab a gun, I use a a 4 battery, 40cm long 3 kilo maglite. But in South Africa I probably would grab a gun. Better to be holding it, and not need it, than to need it and have it still in the draw/safe etc. And 4 shots through the door doesn't mean he was angry, more likely frightened. And this is a guy with no lower legs remember, so he'd be at a disadvantage in terms of speed of movement against someone with 2 complete legs. Shooting multiple times is what pistol self-defense trainers tell you to do. rubbish this is a bloke who fired a gun under the table in a restaurant...and so up himself he was afraid of no one...dont believe it mate just dont..he and Reeva were arguing... she was starting to see the real Oscar and didnt like him..if she told him she was leaving its the worst thing she could do... as for the legs... did you see his re enactment video... omg he was amazing....believe me in that situation he was as good as anyone with both legs.. Well, every time I've had an argument or a break up with a girl, she's either gone to her parents or her BFFs straight after the fight, not gone to bed beside me for several hours.. I didnt say they had broken up.... but I believe thats what she was thinking about.....they had only been together 3 months...
