Din mhix gustizzja. Li student li ghadu daqxejn ta` tifel jaghmel kif hafna studenti universitarji jaghmlu-anke jien kont student universitarju- xi haga hazina,pero azgur minghajr intenzjoni ta reat ghandu jigi ikkastigat b`DAN IL-MOD. Ghandu jigi reprimand/ imwissi mill-qorti biex darba ohra jgib ruhhu ahjar. Biex tghaqaddha l-attur f'`dina il-kawza xebbet tikteb u tikkritieka nies bl-iktar mod mhux eddukat u xejn inqas civili. Il-qorti immissa rat ukoll il-background tal-persuna involuta. Biex tkun kriminal m`hemmx ghalfejn toqtol jew tferri lil xi hadd. Biex tisgronza trid tkun pur jghid the Maltese idiom my friend.

fil-waqt li napprova is-sentenza mghotija lil imsemmija persuna, ghaliex hadd m'ghandu dritt li jhammeg jew jinsulta lil ebda proxxmu, nixtieq nenfasizza li l-"vittma" f'dan il-kaz kumbinazzjoni hija persuna li b'kitbietha twegga u tinsulta hafna nies. aggettivi li thobb tuza huma; hamalli, slavag, pastazzi, injoranti ...

L. Galea should have been made to pay Daphne compensation for the insults received.

It seems the lady is taking a taste of her own medicine. But it seems she does not like the taste. Halliha li hi titmejjel b'min trid u jghogobha, imma haddiehor ma jistax jaghmel l istess.

this man should be thrown out of the public service. Littering the roads, using government property (paper and ink) and insulting a citizen are two henious crimes which should never carry a suspended sentence.

Some people get really irritated when someone else target them! What about those people who get targeted all the time, in the media, for unspecific reasons!!!!! I just wonder why!!!

People may sometimes be under the weather and do things without thinking. Let he or she who is without fault throw the first stone.

The attitude of the accused reflects much of what is wrong with the public sector today. The government truly needs to vet it's employees better rather than just employing them because they have relatives in the public service.

Nice guy this Lawrence Galea. He should be made to pay for the paper and ink he used for these flyers. This is accountability and not just a suspended sentence.

" and throwing the flyers out of the car" .In other civilized countries they call that littering and he should have been cited for that too.
I can understand the suspended sentence but why no community service added to the sentence?

Has he been charged with printing the flyers on government watermarked paper? How did he get hold of them, through his office of course!

If this individual is 63 . . how come he is a government employee, is it not time he is given a pat on the shoulder and a pension?

Are we also to understand that there was misappropriation of official government stationery?

What or who was behind his little bit of unofficial propaganda distribution ? Nobody does things like this without a reason, however frivolous . . . is there some personal issue between himself and Ms Caruana Galizia or was he motivated by something more sinister and external?
