  1. Parole isn't actual freedom. Those who say it is are either ignorant or lying on purpose.

  2. This sickens me. He murdered Reeva Steenkamp. I don’t buy any of this “I thought there was an intruder nonsense”. She locked herself in fleeing from the monster. He should have rotted in prison for the rest of his life. I can only imagine how her family must feel now. I hope karma catches up with him.

  3. In the meantime, many inmates who have way lesser crimes are serving way longer jail time.

  4. He fired blindly through a door!!!!! He should be locked up for life!!!!!

  5. Under 10 years for cold blooded murder. South Africa should be ashamed.

  6. The justice system didn’t have a leg to stand on to keep him in😂

  7. Guess he got a leg up on justice

  8. Murder is life and he is gonna walk free??

  9. F$#k that loser, he should rot in jail for eternity.

  10. Hopefully he’s learned to manage his temper in this time

  11. I'm happy to see this man released.

  12. Will he have to wear an ankle monitor?

  13. 💁🏼‍♂️men get different rules

  14. 😮😮😮😮😮that's CRAP!!!! He wouldn't see a sunrise or sunset in the US. Ummmmmmm, prison IS to PUNISH the guilty. What a JOKE

  15. Justice doesnt work anywhere

  16. Too bad. The POS should spend the rest of his life behind bars.

  17. How much money these black get 😂

  18. less than 10 years for murder ….
