This soldier thinks that human rights are only for Europeans, and that if the Maltese Court of Justice recognises the human rights of Africans, it is “corrupt” and should be “f*cked”
The Armed Forces and the Police have so much to be proud of with the blatant, brazen fascist racism in their ranks. It’s bad enough that soldiers and police officers are madly racist and hate Africans. What’s worse is that they feel enabled to express themselves in this horrible way – which is in head-on conflict with their office – on Facebook.
And what’s worst of all, I suppose, is that their commanding officer/chief of police allows them to do so.
Are soldiers who think and behave like this put on guard duty with African immigrants in detention camps?
No wonder that immigrant was kicked to death in the back of an army van not so long ago.
How madly irresponsible to have officers/soldiers who think this way put in charge of or in authority over the very sort of people they detest and think of as sub-human.

Oh, what men of honour we have amongst us!

Simply no values and pride left in the public service, and that means the police, the armed forces and the civil service.
The people who refuse to do jobs like maintenance and collecting rubbish from the streets are the ones who complain about the refugees ‘stealing their jobs’ when refugees do them. But there are also people with good paying jobs who are also racist and stupid.
Take my cousin, for example. He is only a few years older than me and is a software developer who earns quite a lot of money. But for some reason he is much like this soldier here, and fills his Facebook page with bigoted and racist stuff and votes for Imperium Europa.
Since he helps setting up fireworks at the time of the festa here, maybe he is afraid of Africans ‘taking away Maltese cultural values’ because you know, fireworks are a Maltese invention or that maybe without that kind of thing people might not find another way to entertain themselves.
Most racists are like the ones who refuse to work and prefer to live off social benefits, but racism and ignorance know no profession or class and you will never know who might harbour these ideas in their mind. We meet a lot of them in our daily life, generally without knowing it.
“Works at AFM and Armed Forces Of Malta”
Can he tell us what the difference is between the two?
God! Please protect us from our official “protectors” if many of them would fall in this category. No one should be surprised if our prime minister continues to hug, to praise and to recruit as a “soldier of steel” someone who had had just received a prison sentence.
Ricer, enough said.
Even pop culture in the States rejected them as douchebags, it’s that bad.
Rednecks, California surfer dudes and Bostonians chose to endorse pure Americana, and that’s 50’s New Orleans blues and rockabilly.

Seems like the person that took the print-screen is a ‘FRIEND’ of the said soldier…..a ‘friend’ and a lousy one I must say.
[Daphne – This soldier has around 2,000 Facebook friends. It is not possible for anybody to have more than up to 20 friends in real life at that age (the number shrinks by half by the age of 40), so therein lies your answer.]
Most probably Joseph Muscat would embrace this kind of soldier and call him a hero.
besides, in his comments there was nothing fascist and racist all he said was to fuck the stupid and corrupt court system in all fairness he was just expressing his opinion in a blatant manner (maybe he read your blogs and got some ideas) but instead of LABURISTI he targeted the irregular immigrants think before throwing the first stone (and now you will probably justify yourself in an insolent manner)
‘Think before throwing the first stone.’
Ok, I’ve thought about it. Issa nista’ nordmok, please?
Just because you have a silly opinion, doesn’t mean you should air it.
Let’s hope that any disciplinary action taken against him will not involve transfer to a detention camp.
Prosit Daphne kompli ikxef dawn il-hnizrijiet li dan il-gvern qed jippermetti.
La ma jibzax jghid dan kollu fuq facebook allura hadd ma ghandu jibza juri id-disprezz lejn din il-persuna (jekk tista tissejjah hekk). Ghalija dan huwa hmieg socjali.
What right do you have to publish this man photos without permission if the photos are not yours? That is copyright infringement.
[Daphne – That is a matter between me and Facebook, which owns the rights to the pictures your friend the racist soldier has uploaded on his Facebook page, on full public view. In short, once he uploaded those pictures on Facebook, he lost the rights to them.]
As a correction to the above I believe this is not true Daphne. When you upload pictures to Facebook you still maintain ownership to them but you grant Facebook a licence to use them. The licence is only granted by Facebook so if they expressly grant you permission to use them then you can legitimately use them. If not then there are legitimate copyright issues…. but I presume you know that.
[Daphne – There’s been a court ruling here in Malta to the effect that those who upload their photographs for public consumption on Facebook cannot then complain if they are further exposed elsewhere.]
Facebook’s terms of service to which every user of Facebook agrees to before accessing the website:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
Section 2.4 is of special interest “When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).”
Moral of the story – keep your Facebook account private or better still, don’t publish content you don’t want others to see or use. 2000 Facebook friends is not private.
He may have uploaded them, but on his own page, not for you to share. Not to mention you also publishing his car’s number plates and the name and picture of his girl friend, which frankly has nothing to do with this..
[Daphne – It was he who published all that, Borg. So clearly, he doesn’t have a problem with it. There is case law to this effect, incidentally.]

Never in a thousand years would I have believed that airsoft could be turned bolshy. Now I do. That MAAC logo looks like the bastard child of Rainbow Six and the Pal tal-Bajtar coat of Arms.
Omar Osman, the convicted rapist, thief and violent aggressor who shouldn’t even be in Malta to start with is handed 5000 Euro in a case which did not take long at all to be decided.
Obviously people are going to disgusted and angry with the courts for awarding him such a prize because you know, miskijn his human rights were ‘violated’.
[Daphne – A Maltese cocaine-trafficker, sentenced to 15 years in prison by a Maltese court, and some years earlier sentenced to several years in prison for a similar offence by an Italian court: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20050408/local/european-court-finds-breach-of-meinrad-callejas-rights.94070
Human rights are inalienable. That word ‘inalienable’ means that you don’t lose them because of your ethnicity or your conviction for crimes.]
@Daphne
Ok, human rights bla bla bla, but I would have gone round this differently. I would have awarded him the 5000 euro and right away before he could even get his mitts on it awarded it to the woman he raped as compensation.
[Daphne – Once he receives compensation, it is his and the court can’t take it away or redistribute it. There is no blood money in Maltese law. Your understanding of what constitutes justice is remarkably similar to that of the Islamic shariah societies you despise. A criminal suit is the state vs the perpetrator. The victim is not a party to the suit. That is the case throughout Europe. For the victim to receive money from the perpetrator by way of compensation, he or she has to file a civil suit. And that is offensive anyway, because it puts a price tag on your suffering.]
Blood money as I understand it is when the perpetrator pays the victim off and after that basically gets off scott free.
[Daphne – No, it doesn’t mean that. Blood money means that the punishment meted out by the court is payment to the victim or the victim’s family – in case of murder – by the perpetrator.]
That I am totally against. I agree that ALL perpetrators of such crimes get an effective prison sentence weather they are Maltese or not. I also believe that the perpetrator, in this case Omar Osman should be made to financially compensate his victims. Again he could have been Maltese for all I care.
[Daphne – Your understanding of the law is very weak. Criminal prosecution does not involve restitution to the victim because the victim is not a party to the case. Compensation is a civil matter and not part of criminal law.]
What makes many angry is that this repeat offender, this undesirable gets any compensation for having his human rights ‘violated’ and on top of that he is not even Maltese, but rather someone who came to Malta illegally and conned the authorities into believing he is a genuine refugee.
[Daphne – Human rights are universal and inalienable. They are not territorial and they do not depend on your passport or where you happen to be in the world.]
Oh, look! Manwel Mallia was his defence lawyer! I wouldn’t want that job at all, knowing that, utimately, my pocket has probaby been filled with money coming from cocaine-trafficking.

What do you expect from a guy that looks like a dope head, wears a very badly fitted uniform with a different shade from the rest of his colleagues?
What are you talking about?
@wilson
they dont choose their uniform. they have to wear what’s given to them. its not their fault if the uniform is a different colour. they wear what they’re given and do it proudly. I dont know where you work, but if your boss gives you a uniform to wear you do so!
I am all certain that all of you arguing never did anything for these immigrants. Yet this guy you accuse probably aides in saving hundreds if illegal immigrants lives at sea. Think about it for a sec.
[Daphne – Meanwhile, you think about the fact that he has no choice, because if he were to refuse, he would face discipline for insubordination. So no prizes there for doing what he is paid to do and what he can’t refuse to do unless he leaves the army altogether.]
Actually you are wrong again…. he can easy choose to be put in another section where he doesnt have to keep going out at see to help, but instead these people choose to help. And after all i have seen what these same soldiers go through in an immigrant riot. You wouldnt believe that the same immigrants they saved from death it self, have tried to severly injure which could easily lead to death the same soldiers who rescued them .Unlike you and even me actually which all we do is argue while sitting on am arm chair..
So lets face the fact please.. this guy may have been a bit harsh in his statement yess.. But should 1 wrong deed make all the good deeds he done go in vain? After all we all human. Even soldiers can makes mistakes..
What’s that that Clifton Vella said? Does his employer, Mediterranean Bank plc, know that its network administrator is advocating shooting people and dumping them in the sea?
“Are soldiers who think and behave like this put on guard duty with African immigrants in detention camps?”
No Daphne, soldiers put on guard with immigrants do not behave that way in the first few weeks on their job, however, after you experience their hostility you defer to think the way you do about African immigrants.
This happened to me and I ‘m not a soldier. These people are aggressive and disrespectful to authorities. Most of them are deemed too dangerous to be released into society because of their violent tendencies.
Having said that, not all the immigrants behave the same way, the Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are the very opposite.
[Daphne – What a terrible thing to say. How awful it would be if all Maltese were to be judged by the actions of those who traffic drugs, women and contraband cigarettes across Europe.]
what about the victim’s (the raped woman) human rights?? This man (irrespective of his race, religion, country, his actions, etc…) he violated another person’s human rights.
and why are some of you judging this man by the look of his face in the pictures? I can easily dress up as a soldier and act like him in this photo, and then you can easily say that “mill harsa ta wicci tkun taf x’jien”!
Just like you daphne, that you have the right to speak and write what you want, and on who you like, this person had the right to express his disagreement with the court’s sentence ..again.- HIS DISAGREEMENT WITH THE COURT’S SENTENCE (ok.. he may have exaggerated it)…but aren’t we all human? Nahseb kollha tisrrispettaw dak li tisimaw il quddies il maggoranza taghkom nhar ta Hadd!
and these immigrants (a good number of them)..are always ready to jump on you and attack you once they land on our island.. min fuq il grazzi li tkun salvajthom minn halq il mewt.
Not all immigrants behave the same way!!!.. but the actions of at least one of them, make you regret saving him!
[Daphne – Aren’t we all human, you ask me? Yes, we are. But you and your friend the soldier are clearly of a different opinion.]
making a mistake is human… raping someone is not.
This man (irrespective of his race, religion, country, his actions, etc…) he violated another person’s human rights. He’s an animal not a human.
This, and similar public expressions by members of our armed forces and the police, of attitudes that go directly counter to their duties, should be the subject of a parliamentary question seeking to obtain the official attitude, and reaction, to such behaviour.
