So most of you probably have heard the news already about the Olympic runner who shot and killed his girlfriend last night.

I know it is a tragic story, but lets see if we can have some fun with it.

personally I don't think he has a leg to stand on, and there is no way he is walking away from this one.

I guess he decided she was getting flowers today either way.

    I heard he escaped from custody and is now on the crawl.....

    do you think he'll be sentenced to the electric wheel chair?

    She said she was leaving him, because he was only half a man

    you think he was a little amputeed off at her

    quoted from a friend

    "we know now. he was never really a stand up guy."

    way too soon.

    One in three women will be assaulted by a domestic partner. Think of all the women here - one in three of them. Not so funny.

    it is not trying to be offensive to you ladies, It is simply making jokes about a tragic event that is ripe for the picking, I will apologize if its not to your standards of humor

    P.S. they are purely about him, not his poor victim, my heart goes out to her family

    I get really mystified by this when I think about the pages and pages of rage about Lance Armstrong because he cheated. This guy, who battered and killed his girlfriend, gets ridiculed, but no anger. I just don't get it.

    Not trying to pick an argument with you, my confusion about this is genuine.

    Don't get me wrong I am angry at what happened and like I said before feel bad about what happened to the poor woman involved. I however take my anger out by bashing someone in a comedic sense, I am not a yeller or a fighter so I show my aggression in a different way. Not arguing just explaining my stance on this.

    I also feel that making jokes at his expense is better than just talking about how bad a guy he was, it makes if fun

    People feel duped by a cheater who's been getting away with it for years. This was just some **** that no one could have seen coming. That's the difference. Plus the fact that he has no legs gives him a bit of extra sympathy. Granted, he's culpable, but it still appeals to the same emotions in the public that a retard killing someone would, if that makes sense.
