[sureshot375]

I’m just going to leave this here…. Not sure the old I thought she was a hippo defense is going to fly.

Paul Hendrik van Zyl, 77, shot and wounded the woman while she was fishing in a river with her partner

Sounds like that Pistorius chap got paroled and is out in the bush offering legal advice.

Having been to RSA and witnessed some of the local population I can see where vanZyl might draw that conclusion.

Hmmm,

Shot placement?!?

Perhaps the "subject" posed as aggressive and warranted shots?

He should be sentenced to a "slap-o-gram" by her mother.

@R.M.C.
I was wondering if it was a joke, the shooter needed glasses or she was a BIIIG girl.
It turned out to be a case of stupid.
