In recent years the sport has often been a source of illusions and delusions, because the plague of doping and corruption have caused the fall of many sport stars, showing a world where often the idea of ”let’s win the best” had only in the fans mind while those directly involved, the athletes, knew that was not true, because someone was making up the game. Yesterday at this negative situation has been added a new and terrible episode concerning the killing with pistol shots by Oscar Pistorius of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. He fired four shots thinking it was a thief who had entered the house. Where does this killer instinct come? Because it is clear that a person does not shoot four bullets if he does not want to kill and he did it at the first suspect, he shots to kill not to scare the alleged thief. Usually the cases of feminicides do not come unexpected or suddenly, but they are preceded by a series of behaviors that constitute so many signs of risk and therefore they can be analyzed and recognized for setting the mechanisms of prevention and protection. Pistorius was very jealous and there are stories about his abnormal behavior when drunk, but so far had not been considered so important that it can be considered as predictors of what happened. “It’s a sport that is decapitated by itself,” wrote Emanuela Audisio on “La Republica” newspaper. Pistorius is over but was the architect of his own destiny and he is spoiled with his hands, while Reeva Steenkamp has lost his life for nothing, because of a man who did not want to use his self-control.
