'Pathetic Slap on the Wrist': World Reacts to Oscar Pistorius Sentence

Pistorius1

As news broke that South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius on Tuesday had been sentenced to five years in prison for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, social networks exploded with commentary and reactions



Pistorius was acquitted of murder but convicted of culpable homicide which meant, at most, he was facing 15 years in prison. Judge Thokozile Masipa said the sentence was about "achieving the right balance."


On Twitter, however, many did not seem to think balance had been achieved.



"Men such as Pistorius have had their lives ruined"


Not quite as ruined as Reeva though
