“You tell a guy like that the wrong thing at the wrong time, it’s possible.” Dr. Keith Ablow weighed in on Oscar Pistorius murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He explained that Pistorious might be telling us a portion of the truth: “When someone challenges him, he feels like it’s a life and death struggle.” He went onto say that if a woman challenges him by saying something like “you’re half a man,” at the wrong time, it is possible that Pistorious could pick up a cricket stick and crush your skull.
