Thanks, Duchess.
I hadn't seen that video; I think it's telling.
Yep, Pistorius is pretty agile without the prosthetics. (For some reason, I thought he'd be shorter.)
For years, Pistorius made a point of wanting to be considered equal with all other athletes (which was good, IMO). But, now that he's in big trouble and his explanations for his actions are hard to believe for a reasonable person, he's using his disability to try to avoid responsibility.
His latest claim that what he did was reasonable for HIM, because he was mentally vulnerable due to his physical limitations, strikes me as a desperate defense tactic. I hope it doesn't work.
