It was a patriot bullet. No matter in which direction you shoot it, it will always curve to seek its target.

These people think they have reached the heavens, untouchables. Even seeing them moving in the streets, like the godfathers, or what their tacky cohorts call ‘qisek Boss’, makes me ill.

Who do they think they are? They’re guttersnipes and slum-dwellers made good, and showing every bit of it.

What if those bullets had hit the man, rather than just his car?

The victim, who has been arrested, should sue the Malta government’s arse right off.

According to the DOI the energy minister’s marriage is a strong as ever and that is why his wife is living several time zones away with their children and no intention of coming back.

It doesn’t take a legal expert to know that a minister’s driver should not be armed, a police constable should not be armed, and that it is a criminal offence to shoot in a residential street.

The minister’s driver would get out his submachine gun and any passers by would become Kenneth’s new cheese-graters.

I have a fair idea, but this isn’t Hustler magazine.

Don’t give them any ideas please.

Let’s start with the premiss that the Minister’s driver should not have been carrying a gun, ergo that no shots – warning or otherwise – should have been fired.
