Well, on one hand I have always had zero tolerance for abuse, so I share his feelings, however on the other hand, one should not make a political roadshow out of child abuse either.

I don’t agree that the amnesty stinks, because it gives people the chance to re-integrate in society and I wish people stopped being so judgemental for a change, it shows lack of maturity.

Mallia’s amnesty stinks; the discrimination between who gets it and who does not stinks even further. Minister Mallia …..mm….more pleasures yet to come?

Nghid ghalija ma nahsibx li hemm lok ghal xi amnestija tkun xi tkun l-okkazzjoni.

Min wehel il-habs ghandu jiskonta l-piena tieghu kollha ghax ghandu risponsabbilta’ lejn min ghamel l-att kriminali.

Il-Ministru jmissu iccikkja kemm min dawk li hargu u le se johorgu sa l-ahhar ta’ din is-sena huma rijabilitati biex jghixu fil-komunita’ mhux billi taghom il-permess biex johorgu. Tghid dawk in-nies imgarrba se jiehdu gost b’din l-amnestija?

Dr. Mallia made a good living from getting, or trying to get, criminals off the hook. So expect no better, or otherwise.

In reply to tinnat.

Sure, and then you’ll get a reply such as ‘Why not?’

Gimme a break – this is so sick.

I am very curious to see what will happen, when the very first of this lot who got the amnesty, will end up in court again for committing another crime.

I wonder if the Minister will stand the heat then, or his own conscience (assuming he has one).

One thing I am not sure of – how I would react if I ever had to be a victim of one of these criminals who got out thanks to this amnesty.

Does the Minister really think that out of these criminals, no one will betray his ‘trust’? I’m sure he knows this and this makes him very irresponsible.

Amnesty my foot. More like a travesty.

Prison inmates, including rapists and murderers, despise paedophiles and reserve special treatment for them. The warders close both eyes to what happens to new paedophile inmates.

Our bulldog minister has the same mindset; he ‘likes’ drug dealers, thieves and murderers and hates paedophiles.

Min se jkun dak il-Membru Parlamentari kuragguz bizzejjed biex jipproponi ligi li tiprojbixxi l-ghoti ta’ mahfriet ta’ pieni minn sentenzi ta’ habs (amnestiji)? Cert li se jsib l-appogg ta’ parti kbira tal-poplu.

In reply to Joe Fenech. Slow, we are racing in a downward spiral at rollercoaster speed.

Now this is one measure which has probably directly hurt the victims of the people he pardoned and their immediate families. Can Mallia not see that this could be counter-productive vote-wise?
