Medasia, Gzira, 11 March 2013: Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando, still glued to his orange trousers and still owner of a tract of land at Mistra which he hopes to develop, celebrating Labour’s victory with Michael Farrugia, the man now responsible for the Malta Environment & Planning Authority.

I’m told by one of my younger readers that this is what is known as a ‘sucker punch’.

Also, several witnesses saw him stand slightly to the rear of his son’s 22-year-old friend, Nicky Azzopardi, so as to deliver a punch to the side of Azzopardi’s head without Azzopardi being able to see who it was.

    He’s just a drunken middle-aged coward.

    Yes it is called a sucker punch.

    Whoever has a go at it is usually a coward, because frontal engagement is avoided with the opponent or in the case of an unaware victim, the latter is surprised by a devastating blow to the jaw from the side.

    The majority of sucker punches are devastating since such high energy blows catch the victim totally unaware and looking away since the assailant sneaks from the side and delivers the blow.

    Such an angled blow if delivered sharply will result in damage to the jaw. In the majority of the cases the victim is knocked out cold with the obvious consequence of dropping like a stone, risking death or brain damage when hitting the floor.

    While physical assault is clearly an uncivilized act in resolving issues, a sucker punch should be legally considered as a clear attempt to cause bodily harm or worst.

    • Josette says:

      And in this case the assailant has medical training – of a sort – and so knows exactly the type of harm which can result from his assault.

    On the question of red trousers, I quote:

    ‘Red trousers are associated in this country (the UK) with braying poshos on the King’s Road, utterly devoid of self-awareness but wealthy in idiocy; people who probably lost their virginity to an unfortunate member of staff in daddy’s country pad, and are as flushed in the face as they are round of belly’

    Chinese investment in Africa not only benefits the continent, but also reduces the number of illegal immigrates to the European Union (EU), Maltese ambassador to China Joseph Cassar said Tuesday.

    Splendid. All hail China, the Great Force For Good.

    Here are the potential risks of a sucker punch.
    Clip speaks for itself so not much else to add.

    Why doesn’t he go on extracting teeth and blowing up lips and most importantly leave us in peace! He only seems to be in news for the wrong reasons.

  9. blue says:

    As a dentist he should know the results of a sucker punch, as such his intentions were deliberate so he should be charged accordingly.

    • charon says:

      Charged accordingly? You must be joking. The Commissioner of Police informed us that since the incident took place on a Saturday/Sunday, charges would be meted out on Monday. Trouble is he did not tell us which Monday, ie. The following Monday or God only knows which.

  10. curious says:

    With friends of friends of friends, I do not think that the Police will take further “interest” in this case.

    So now we have JPO as a street fighter and drunk at that. Some chairman for the MCST.

    This is an interesting article by Caroline Muscat:

    about the real interests of JPO behind the so-called: Alliance Against Cyberharassment.
