This one wasn't from Somalia
Beneath the recent news report of a 21-year-old Somali taken into custody because he had been found on top of a teenage girl during a brawl – everyone concluded it was attempted rape – there is a string of shocked and abusive comments about Malta not being safe any more.
Strangely, beneath this news report there are just two comments. A gerontophiliac nurse sexually assaulting old ladies at St Vincent de Paule is unremarkable. After all, he’s Maltese and he has a right to be here, so nothing more need be said.

Nursing aide admits indecent assault on two elderly residents
Waylon JohnstonA 43-year-old nursing aide yesterday admitted to indecently assaulting three women – two elderly patients and a member of staff – at the St Vincent De Paul residence in Luqa earlier this month. Rosario Scicluna was placed under probation and a treatment order for three years and had a suspended jail term extended after Magistrate Edwina Grima took into consideration that he needs psychological help. Mr Scicluna had received a one-year suspended jail term for two years in November 2007 and in yesterday’s sitting the magistrate extended it to a one-year term suspended for four years, which suspended period came into force yesterday.

We KNOW that the Maltese can be criminals too but that in no way justifies crimes committed by illegal immigrants! And a rape is a rape. Top, bottom, brawl, by a Maltese rapist or not makes absolutely no difference at all. A man or a woman assaulted sexually without the person’s consent, conscious or not, drunk or not, scantily dressed or not should make no difference at all. We, humans, are not moral and political animals and we should know better.
And besides, it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you aspire towards a multicultural Malta. You WILL find a Maltese criminal for every African criminal, and you WILL find perfectly logical arguments when people reply with arguments such as ‘Hawn aktar Maltin milli Afrikani’ yet it does not exactly convince that Multiculturalism is ideal.
[Daphne – Think clearly, please. Nowhere have I suggested that a crime by a Maltese justifies a crime by a Somali. I am merely highlighting the ridiculous hypocrisy of those who express shock and horror about the occasional crime committed by an immigrant from the African sub-continent when for a population of just over 400,000 we have rather a lot of sleaze, crime and perversion. And no, I don’t ‘aspire’ to multiculturalism. I actually believe that societies work better when all incomers blend in as far as possible instead of ghettoising themselves – but they have to be allowed to do that by a resident population that doesn’t put up barriers. Incidentally, how do you imagine that the Maltese population came to be what it is today – homogenous – when the physical evidence and surnames show that we’re from all over the Mediterranean littoral and beyond?]
…and the fact that I overlooked the ‘not’ in the last sentence of the first paragraph can be interpreted as a Freudian Slip
@ Daphne : this guy is mentally sick. Two old women from Imgieret! Please leave him alone, he must be mentally unstable,as the judge declared he needs psychiatric treatment.
[Daphne – Yes, he needs psychiatric treatment because he abuses old women. You have led a sheltered life.]
Please note that the man was not a nurse but a nursing aide.
[Daphne – Yes, he needs psychiatric treatment because he abuses old women. You have led a sheltered life.]
Read up a book on psychiatry for some information about the subject.
[Daphne – I don’t need to. Thank you.]
Sybil: What’s a “mentally unstable” person doing in charge of vulnerable people?
