Let us, for argument’s sake, say that it was a hit and run, which I doubt.
Isn’t there a difference between a hit and run when someone is injured and a hit and run when a parked car is damaged?
I stand to be corrected but I think that one is a criminal act while the other is not. Even if there is CCTV evidence of a hit and run on a parked car and the culprit is found, he is not arrested and detained.
L-ewwel darba li xi hadd itajrilkom u jkisser xi side-mirror, ibghatu ghal Sheehan.
I wouldn’t know about that, but I think it should be obvious by now that Manuel Mallia is somebody who gets off on guns, jackboots and men in uniform. What we have is a government of perverts, working out their dreams on public money.
“The driver, Constable Paul Sheenan, realised that a Silver Vauxhall with foreign number plates had hit the minister’s car (damaging the side mirror) and gave chase.”
The way a virtually identical situation to the one concerning Dr. Mallia’s driver was handled couldn’t differ more. Legal redress through legal channels. This is what we all – as citizens ask for.
Good thing that woman got hit by Edward Scicluna and not Manuel Mallia. She’d have risked getting shot up for being in a place inconvenient to the ministerial car.
Is Manuel Mallia a prophet?

Visiting relatives in a ministerial car, while armed. Tajba ukoll.
Ghandi dubju kemm kien qieghed ipparkjat sew il-Gzira. U jekk inhu pulizija serju kif jispara tlett tiri (mhux tnejn) lejn ragel mhux armat?
U ghax ma ghamilx rapport l-ghassa kif jaghmlu nies civilizzati?
Minn min jibza Manwel Mallia biex ghandu xufier armat?

Damaging the side mirror, eh. Let me use a favourite expression of the PL fans. We can safely say that it was a storm in a teacup.
Isn’t excessive defence also punishable at law?
What defence?
I know that it wasn’t but that is the way they are portraying it. Even if it were, it remains excessive.

Last July, a car carrying Nationalist MPs – Censu Galea and Frederick Azzopardi – was hit by a Briton who then raced off.
The matter was reported in the newspapers – http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140627/local/briton-charged-with-mps-hit-and-run-incident.525279

Does anybody know what became of the British citizen? Was he arrested? is he still in detention?
Has the Opposition called for the resignation of the Minsiter?
They should introduce a parliamentary motion of no confidence. It will never get through, but at least they will have made an eloquent point.
Ministers, drivers, all out of control.
