Alla jbierek Malta jghidu li hu l-iktar pajjiz kattoliku. Naghmlu dawn il-festi kollha u niccelebraw tant qaddisin - nippretendi li hawn qaddisin jimxu fl-art. Kollu dahk fil-wicc li naghmlu ahna il-maltin ghax kieku vera insara u kieku il-paroli li jigi ippritkat insegwuh kieku ma jsirux dawn l-affarijiet. Kulhadd cowboy go dan il-pajjiz basta kull fejn tara slaleb u qaddisin. Meta nara dan l-ghemil nisthi nghd li jien malti ghax il-vera ahna ipokriti. Hafna pridki u religjon imbaghad minn wahda jidhol u minn l-ohra johrog. Ma nafx meta se nimmaturaw u jekk ikollna xi haga x'nghidu insibu lil dak li jkun u nghidulu u mhux ninhlew fil-hsara ta dan it-tip. J'alla jinqabdu dawn il-pulcinelli li ghamlu il-hsara.

@ Victor Vella
Before you shoot the messenger Mr. Vella, please note that I have never voted in a Malta election. So to me, red and blue and the rainbow is the same difference.

Shameful and cowardly act ideed. Let the 'departed' Rest In Peace. My solidarity with the Attard Family.

Only the labour supporters were hooligans and instigated violence during the labour era. The Nationalists are good natured and cannot revert to any violence. Infact the door to heaven is open for the Nationalists and that of hell to the labourities.

My sympathies are with Mayor Attard and his family.
There is an old Persian proverb. When you dig a grave for your neighbour make sure that the measurements are such that you fit into it. I have proved this to be so time and time again. Evil is its own punishment, here and now.
I think it is high time serious research was done into why, Malta, a Catholic country, is rife with envy - a national sport, and anger - ditto, and greed - ditto plus. Is this, perhaps, the dark side of a coin, the obverse being gullibility?

Thallix min jintimidak Sur Joe Attard! Mid-dehra hemm xi hadd li ma lahaqx l'gheneb u qed jghidlu qares!! Min irid jisfida, jekk huwa ta' sinsla, jisfida lil-hajjin u lill-mejtin ihallihom jistriehu fil-paci! L'anqas jista' / jistghu jaqghu aktar fil-baxx. Nesprimi s-solidarjeta tieghi mas-Sur Joe Attard u l-familja tieghu.
P.S. Nahseb wasal iz-zmien li jitwahhlu CCTV fic-cimiterji, ghax dan mhux l-ewwel incident vandalu ta' dan it-tip.

Nixtieq f'ismi u l-familja tiegħi nesprimi s-sogħba ta' dan l-att krudili fuq xi ħaġa tant għażiża u fl-istess ħin naqsam is-solidarjeta' sħiħa mas-Sindku taż-Żejtun is-Sur Joe Attard, li kulħadd jaf kemm jirsisti u jistinka bla waqfien fl-interessi tal-poplu Żejtuni. Kuraġġ Joe.

My family and I would like to express our solidarity with Joe Attard and his family while condemning this act which is very shameful to say the least.

Are there any studies or researches to show what kind of people do these things? Or are they sub humans ? They don't even deserve to be called beasts.

I join in the condemnation of these heartless cruel people who have no respect for other people's sentiments especially those towards the beloved departed. May the Attard Family rest in the peace pf the Lord.

I would like to express my solidarity with the family of Joe Attard.

I can never understand this deepest level of cowardice and hatred that some persons can descend to in carrying out such acts. Some persons must have hidden within them a tendency to evil which no doubt hurts the victim but which in the long run hurt them more as it moulds them into self despicable barbarians or 'meschini' as the Italians say.

Alleanza Liberali - www.malta-liberals.org - send our support to the Mayor of Zejtun and the Attard family. In Malta if one works hard for his village and country he is paid with vengeance. I also had my car full of paint remover and a shotgun shot at my house at Kalkara because I contested for the local coiuncil and involved myself in politics.

Why are these cowards resorting to attacking the resting places of dead people. Is that the sort of men you are. Shameless COWARDS!

The cowardly perpetrators of such shameful acts should be locked up (when apprehended and found guilty) and the keys to the cell thrown away.

Way out of order !! A very cowardly act indeed.

Anthony Briffa

Jul 10th 2010, 16:51

People who resort to this kind of vandalism to get to somebody are simply cowards, spineless, and they lack what real man normally have.

Rob Schembri

Jul 10th 2010, 16:48

What a disgraceful act!!
No words can console Mayor Attard & his family. Mayor Attard does not deserve such an abhorrent act. He is a gentleman and an exemplary Mayor.

Mayor Attard - Keep up your good work and do not let such cowardice acts affect you.

No matter what the political colour is, everyone has the right to express his opinions and ideas in such what we call a civilized country(suppose).All acts like this are condemned and it will not restore the opinion/s and or ideas.Hope the culprits will be caught!!My deepest solidarity goes with family Attard even if I dont know them!!

Joe,

Dwn in-nies mhux se jaqtghulek qalbek. Int u il-familja tieghek iljuni u ma tibzghux minn dawn in-nies. Dawn huma nies bla valuri li ghad iridu jirrispondu ta ghemilhom mal-Mulej.

Forza Joe u J'Alla tibqa tahdem ghall-komunita' kif dejjem ghamilt.

Like I said when the Prime Minister's family grave was vandalised, I say it again, this time to the culprit of this shameful act:
Shame, Shame and Shame on you! You are not worthy to live in our society!

Nikkundanna bil-qawwa kollha atti kodardi bhal dawn, jaghmilhom min jaghmilhom. Kif iridu jaraw wicc Alla? Nixtieq nesprimi s-solidatjeta` tieghi u tal-familja mas-Sur Joe Attard u l-familja tieghu. Nitlob l-Alla li jahfer lil dawn il-barbari ghax ma jafhux x'inhuma jaghmlu.

Nuri s-solidarjeta tieghi mal-familja tas-Sindku bhal ma ghamilt meta vvandalizzaw dak ta omm il-pm...Malta jixraqilha ahjar min dawn in-nies koddardi u bla kuxjenza...u jiftakru min huma dawn il-bezziegha...li jekk ma tilhaqhomx il-ligi issa, hemm gustizzja li ma jaharbuhiex.

U hemm fuq il-ligi ghal kulhadd l-istess...ir-rispett lejn il-mejtin huwa obbligu morali u mhux drawwa jew uzanza...u dan l-att jghajjat haqq quddiem Alla.

Shame on who ever was the coward/s. Full moral support to Zejtun Mayor and his family.

Some time ago the Parish was considering a project to install an electronic alarm and surveillance system If I am not wrong it was intended that who ever owns a tomb there will contribute to share the expense, thus the Parish was not going to be burdened with any expenses and the cost for each family will be very reasonable. Pity the project never materialized. Hope it will be taken back on board as soon as possible.

I believe all cemeteries should be equipped with modern and reasonable priced systems to eleminate these vandal acts once and for ever.

Why does the good Lord not make a miracle and allow whoever is buried in that grave to rise from the dead and scare the living daylights out of whoever committed this act, whether it is the Mayor of Zejtun or anybody else since it is impossible to catch them redhanded.

They seem afraid to face the living, so they take out their frustration on the dead. Shame.
