This is Sheehan last night

Does he look like a police officer to you? That’s right. If this man got out of his car and began waving his gun at you at night, after first chasing you from Gzira to Tal-Qroqq and blocking your path with his car, what would you think?

I’d think he was high on drugs and feeling invincible.
Beware Sheehan- No warning shots required
I think he was just high on being a big important minister’s big important driver.
He was high on Irish whisky.
“Aw boss, jien. Isma, ghadda Skocciz u laqat il-mera tal-karozza u sparajtlu man. Issa cempilt ir-Ray u gew arrestawh.”
I just can’t wait for the Panto this year. Remember the ‘Enter the clowns’ saga. That’s what I call foresight.
“Hu hsieb mur lura u igbor dawk il-madonnec bullets ghax se nispiccaw fil-frisk.”
Are there any clear photos of the minister’s car? Can we know if the GM number plates were on or not. It is usual at that time of day that they clip on normal number plates.
If that is the case the Mercedes was more unidentifiable.
So that’s why the boot was open.
A clip shows the Merc from the front, and it does not have the GM plates. Saw it just now on Newsfeed, but didn’t catch the details. However the front plate shows definitely three letters and three numbers.
If you had read the first detailed reports on this website and Maltarightnow last night, you would know that this is how the witnesses knew it was the minister’s driver, because they read the plates, GM14.
The GM numbers were removed at some time and AQZ
Lest we forget the last time a driver of a minister was accused of shooting a gun in public and the consequences therein
I wonder if Sheehan was asked to take the breathalyser test last night.
My thoughts exactly. He may very well have been offered a drink or two while visiting his mother’s.
How else would he have taken such an impulsive decision to open fire, unless he had been under the influence?
Alas, I’m sure he was not breathalysed, and we can only speculate uselessly on this point.
Exactly , anyone in their right mind would take him to be at least breathalyser tested and not the poor Briton
I would think the Mob is there, that’s what I would think!
Is Sheehan one of the reinstated policemen?
See the comments on Times of Malta’s comments board, and you’ll bang your head against a wall.
So this guy gets out of the car, shoots three aimed shots at an unarmed person in public, and nothing happens to him – and then a hunter with a fake gun is arrested.
There’s always one Neanderthal lurking around, isn’t there ?
I wonder how Mr. Smith felt when he realized that his ‘attacker’ was best buddies or at least one of the guys with the police who turned up? Having gone through the eighties I fully sympathize with him.
And if the minister’s driver’s English accent is typical of what one encouters locally, then it must have been a real pickle. Unless the driver still has not gotten rid of his habit of using vulgar language of course which would have spiced things further.
‘… convicted of uttering vulgar language and hindering Superintendent Ray Zammit…’

Was Mr. Smith given the benefit of making phone calls one wonders?
Mr. Sheehan certainly did, with a spin machine at the other end of the line which has been updating statements like there is no tomorrow.
Telling the truth would have been the easy way to go.
So clear that this copper first shot at a person then “shot” the Minister by giving him a false version of what happened.
The Minister should have said nothing, done nothing, till the Police Commissioner did what he had to do.
But the Commissioner is now on a performance contract so he met up with the Toad and the Coconut rather than be seen acting independently and without consultation of his political master.
They’re like clowns tripping over each other’s lies and personal survival kits. I am starting to doubt if they are even recyclable matter.
No, Pablo. They are certainly not ‘recyclable matter’.
They are just genuine shit.
Admittedly, to-day’s news carried an item saying that car engines may be made to run on that, too.
At least, they may serve some useful purpose.
Let us not forget that now is the time for other things to skulk by unnoticed.
“The statistics which the minister doubted were released by Eurostat and show that Malta’s combined exports to EU and Extra-EU states declined by 27% in the 12 months to August 2014. But even the export figures released by the National Statistics Office (NSO) show a decline, albeit by a significantly lower magnitude. In fact, NSO reports a 3.6% decline in exports between 2012 and 2013 (full year) and again by 1.0% between 2013 and 2014 (quarters 1 and 2),” the Chamber observed.”

As they say in media spin, it’s a good day to bury bad news.
They’re good at pulling a Jo Moore.
Do we know the details of the actual crash that triggered (excuse the pun) this off? If the crash was something minor, the reaction is even more out of proportion.
A broken wing mirror. Now you would shoot at somebody for something like that, wouldn’t you.
If that was the case Valletta and Sliema would be the modern cowboy towns, with everyone shooting at each other in the roads.
Given the manner in which a number of Ministers’ drivers have been observed parking, I wouldn’t be surprised if the car was badly parked, leaving little space for others to drive through.
This Sheehan seems to be certainly arrogant enough to think that the road belongs to him.
And since he was “skiving”, he had probably taken the GM plates off.
U zmien il-buzullotti, issa, spicca………jew beda?
Probably he reacted with such force because he was caught out visiting mama.
If he was with the GM car and his minister was in Valletta, does that mean he was skiving? If I am sent on an errand with the agency’s car, can I stop and visit my mama too?
I don’t think Muscat will let Mallia go.
The PM is a real pussy with those who pose a threat to him and to his tenure. Mallia is one of them.
Truth is if Dr. Mallia falls Muscat will tumble after.
A ginger pussy.
Despite his many years in the Police Corps this cretin can’t even handle a road rage situation, let alone protect us civilians from criminals or safely defend his Minister for that matter. Instead, he causes a major incident himself.
If unchecked these antics will have a devastating disciplinary effect on new police and army recruits and society at large. Joseph Muscat is starting to harvest what he has sown by declaring, when becoming leader, that the PL under him, unlike his predecessor, has the space for all Laburisti, including their rubbish.
Not only is the Commissioner on a performance contract but he is ALSO Manuel Mallia’s cousin. Il-familja taghna lkoll.
There are so many details to keep up with.
Mur gibu kien ix-xufier ta’ Austin Gatt.
A severe weather warning for the whole of the Maltese Island has been issued. The unforeseen gale force winds suddenly gathered force from a focal point in Zejtun.
On closer scrutiny the fierce winds were found to come forth from the huge sigh of relief which Helena Dalli exhaled. As the scandal of minister Mallia’s driver and Mallia’s handling of the situation swept the county, Helena Dalli and Paba were off the hook.
She has now decided to name the building ‘Thankful for small mercies’ and has already paid for several one tonne candles for various saints. Her elated supporters are thinking of commissioning a song in her honour to be chanted along the theme ‘one man’s poison is another (wo)man’s cure’.
Eighties survivors are countering with their own anthem ‘Least we forget’.
Paul Sheehan, the midnight cowboy.
‘Asked where the shots were actually fired, the minister said he would not get into the specifics of the case as that was subject to an inquiry. He said, however, that the Briton had been driving in a dangerous manner and had possibly been under the influence of drink. He also said the constable identified himself.’
Why are the facts damning to the driver subject to an inquiry but facts damning to the Brit to be stated fact and taken as true by the Minsiter?
Who lied about the shots being fired in the air only to be shown up for the liar that he is when the pictures of the vehicle emerged? WHO LIED?
http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20141120/local/update-8-shooting-incident-ministerial-driver-suspended-from-all-duties.544812
So the driver chased and shot and blocked with his car and no doubt shouted but it was the Brit who was doing the dangerous thing.
Mallia’s logic which we could perhaps turn into Mallia’s Law seeing as we are now putting surnames of the guardians of democracy on laws.
“He (Minister Manwel Mallia) said, however, that the Briton had been driving in a dangerous manner and had possibly been under the influence of drink”.
I am glad that the honourable minister stopped short of saying that the sentence for that “possible” traffic offence has been upgraded to a summary execution by a burst of gunfire aimed at the level of the driver’s head on a busy public street.
Every one seems to have forgotten about Anglu Farrugia’s doubts and fears; so it must have been doubtful business of all shapes and sizes including criminal lawyer business.

Il bullets gew sparati ‘in aria’ ah! how sweeeet.
I shot an arrow into the air, where it fell I don’t know where.

Mallia should take note.
He’s already landed a new job:

Lil macho Sheehan hadd ma ccekkjalu il-pipi?
We have gone back to 1971. Ser jigri hafna demm taht din l- amminstrazzjoni .
Spiċċajna tajjeb! Mela bdejna b “Int taf min jien?” u issa morna oltre minhekk ” olqot karozza f’inċident u u bla kliem u bla sliem taf issib ruħek id-dinja l-oħra!”
X’eżempji sbieħ qed jagħtuna! Iż-żmien tat-twerwir reġa’ wasal.
We know where the Briton spent last night. Incidentally, how did Mr Sheehan spend his?
Min jaf? Xi ħadd indaga jekk hux veru għand ommu kien meta sar l-incident?
This person has just discharged 3 live rounds in our streets. Why is he standing alone making a phone call? Why isn’t he being held and his mobile phone taken away from him?
