Sometimes you’re just out partying with the boys and girls
getting dead drunk and enjoying yourself to the fullest, completely forgetting
that you’re on trial for the murder of your beloved girlfriend over a year ago,
when suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, some random walks up to you and reminds
you that a good chunk of the world thinks you’re a piece of nasty.
Now I can’t speak for either party in this case but when
trying to imagine the scenario our ‘blade runner’ and his supposed adversary found
himself in, it’s easy to let one’s imagination run wild.
According to an article I stumbled upon, Oscar Pistorius was
reported to be out with friends clubbing, as people on trial tend to be after a
long winded court case has been postponed [yet again], when a presumably
unknown man approached him and started bugging him with the same questions
everybody is dying to ask the infamous athlete.
Unfortunately Mr Pistorious didn’t have his trusty attorney out
on the town with him, leaving the supposedly intrusive questioning from Jared
Mortimer free to be voiced. Needless to say, the Blade runner was left with
nothing but alcohol fuelled dialogue and a deep regret at thinking the world
would leave him alone while he awaits the news of his fate.
As unfortunate of a situation the guy seems to find himself
in, I can’t help but think that maybe he shouldn’t be going on about how he ‘regrets
going into the public place to invite unwanted attention’ when he’s currently
still on trial. Whether he is guilty or not, being all emotional on the stands isn’t
going to cut it if you don’t at least sell it in your everyday life.
Of course, he could just be trying to party his troubles
away; just in case. But even so, he should rather keep the parties home, where
randoms aren’t invited and scandals can [hopefully] be avoided. After all, it’s
not like it isn’t the first time he’s in the spot light.
Then again, we could blame the curious businessman for
wanting to confront Mr Pistorious about his trial. But the guy was just being
human, a curious creature by design, and his actions aren’t too different from what
many people would do if given the opportunity.
But let’s be real for a moment; you can’t expect a quiet night of clubbing when you’ve spent
the past few months allowing your personal dirty laundry to be broadcast
worldwide, especially when it’s the taxpaying randoms who are being forced to
pay for that laundry to be scrubbed ever so thoroughly clean.
