Updated: Man injured in fight at PL club in Rabat

The item made news because, against two other similar occurrences about crime in LP clubs, this time. decent priorities were observed, the emergency police and ambulance were called in and not the lawyer-deputy leader of the LP to advise how best to hide the crime by sweeping it under the carpet. It should not need a case of GBH putting someone in danger of losing his life to do this.

So Neil, you do not want to Dent the PL, is it??

Peter Spiteri

Feb 18th, 13:59

Well said! Best comment by far.

Neil Dent

Feb 18th, 14:55

JC Borg - how clever and highly original. You should consider a career on the stage, as you're clearly a natural comedian.

Sarcasm aside, I just don't get the point of the needless politicization of practically every story reported of late. It's sickening. And just FYI, to date I am a PN voter. Other contributors on these pages can definitely vouch for that.

The proof lies that Abela stated it himself. If it was a white block of detergent, then police need not get involved. Corruption is extremely bad. Drugs are worse. I condemn both and defend neither. MLP condemns corruption but not drugs. Do you agree with the distribution and use of hard drugs? Do you want your kids to be destroyed by them? And yet you defend MLP.

Joe Muscat

Feb 18th, 10:43

No Leonard I do not, and I suspect it was, but I cannot be 100% sure, can you?

These things happen daily in Paceville - so what the big huff because it happened in a PL club? same reasoning we should close Paceville down! Seems like any excuse is a good excuse for some to attack PL.

Mr C Camilleri

Feb 18th, 11:21

Maybe it was a big white block of sugar ! You still need to cut it to make a cup of tea i presume ! So until it is confirmed as drugs i will not point fingers like other people. Cause in that cause it would be very easy to point fingers at email containing Aust or AG where the OIL SCANDAL is involved.

So ... as they say ... INNOCENT until proven OTHERWISE !

Tony Mangion

Feb 18th, 11:39

What a silly and uncalled for argument in mentioning the shooting at the club, especially when compared to a lap dance or two. Surely that such poor comments make one to be ashamed of himself in hurting families and friends of the deceased. It's bad enough that we have been taken for a ride when 25years ago we had been promised that all efforts will be made to bring the culprit/s to the law.

Joseph Attard

Feb 18th, 11:27

Why are you asking Manwel? The answer is easy. It happened in PL club so it is beneficial to inflate the situation.
In Pn clubs these things never happened . oops i'm remembering.....

not politically minded here, but to put the record straight mr. cassar, any club can refuse entrance to anybody unless they are paid up memebers.

Mark Cassar

Feb 18th, 10:29

it's not backwards mentality Matthew...if the same thing happened inside a PN club, ONE, Inews, Maltastar & L-Orizzont would make dozens of programmes/articles about it, so please....do not try to play down this case to "backwards mentality"...it's what some people are up to. and it's something which had to be reported on ALL media...pity that some sections have not yet discovered what happened...

Matthew Grima

Feb 18th, 11:33

Mark, my claim isn't about one party or the other, the same would have been applicable if it happened in a PN club.

My comment was a reply to the comment below.

Ms anne galea

Feb 18th, 10:50

Mr. Muscat, and how did you know that those were PN supposters that were dinking and fighting in Paceville? did you recognise them because they were wearing blue ties? be careful, they could have been PL supporters since these are also wearing blue ties nowadays

Ms anne galea

Feb 18th, 11:31

Mr Muscat, how did you know that those fighting were PN supporters? were they wearing blue ties? becareful because even PL supporters are now wearing blue ties.

Geoffrey Saliba

Feb 18th, 12:44

@ Ms Anne Galea - its obvious how he knew they were pn supporters - kellhom wicc ta' nazzjonalisti :P

@Renato J. Costigan,
Ejja ma nkunux sensazzjonali u vavi!! Għax filkas ngħidlek allura x'għamlu partitarji nazzjonalisti fil-Mosta stess bil-vetturi tagħhom, bil-kliem oxxen, vulgari u nsulenti nhar il-Ħadd ta' qabel wara li sar il-'meeting' tal-PN fil-Mosta. Nies hekk huma żagħżagħ bla moħħ u żgur ma qabbadhomx la Gonzi u nimmaġina li ħadd mill-uffiċjali tal-PN.

Paul Micallef

Feb 18th, 09:56

Mela, jahasra! Dejjem intom il vittmi! Ma semmejtu xejn imma li tas sliema waqt il gbir tal voti delegat tal pn kisser nuccali ta ex nazzjonalist ghax qallu li mhux ha jivvota!

Mark Cassar

Feb 18th, 10:21

L-istess haga li ghedt jien....suppost li kien hemm ftehim biex partitarji ma jiltaqghux fl-istess toroq. Imma Alla jbierek partitarji Laburisti kienu ghaddejjin bil-bnadar mal-karozzi mit-toroq hdejn il-Mass Meeting ta' Haz-Zebbug..

M Busuttil

Feb 18th, 10:22

Il-puluzija missom joqodu attenti ukoll meta jinghataw il permessi ghal meetings. Il bierah il meetings kienu close wisq ta xulxin. Biex titla in-Naxxar trid tghaddi min Haz Zebbug. Ma nafx kif ghal loghba football iktar ikun hemm pjanar tat traffic!

Renato J. Costigan

Feb 18th, 10:58

@Mario Camilleri. M'inhiex qed inkun sensazzjonali. Dawn thallew jaghddu minkejja l-prezenza tal-pulizija. Suppost hemm ftehim li ma jhallu lill hadd jaghaddi min hemm. Vera wrew sens ta' dixxiplina l-partitarji Nazzjonalisti li ma waqaghux ghal provokazzjoni.

Mark Cassar

Feb 18th, 10:57

well...the difference is that the SHOOTING did not happen during a POLITICAL activity...it happened during a normal day, and was definitely NOT RELATED to politics....do you know about this case? We still have to see what it was about...pity that people like you try to play down cases where someone pro-PL is involved! What would you say had this happened inside a PN club, right after a meeting?

S. Bugeja

Tgħid qatt ma kien hemm xi ġlieda f'xi kazin Nazzjonalista ? Allura jekk tkun ġlieda fuq xi partita football jew xi argument fuq xi ħaġa oħra li ma tkunx politika , dan jirrifletti fuq il-partit ta' dak il kazin ? Mela ma tafux li anke ġo knisja ftit taz-zmien ilu , kien hemm argument bejn zewġ familji li anke spiċċa il-qorti ? Kull fejn ikun hemm in-nies dawn jistgħu jiġru .

Il-One, sa fejn naf jien, ma' semma ebda glieda f'xi kazini ohrajn; igifieri zgur ma' kienx hemm aktar gliediet. Imma nahseb li kieku kien hemm xi glieda f'xi kazin tal-PN mhux fuq l-ahbarijiet biss kienu jgibuha imma anka jsiru programmi ta diskussjoni fuqha.

Sur Caruana , l-ewwel ħaġa li tinqala ġlieda f'xi kazin mhux xi ħaġa ta' barra min hawn għax fejn ikun hemm in-nies jixorbu u xi ħadd jixrob xi naqra zzejjed , mhux ser neħodha bi kbira li anke fuq l-akbar ċuċata tista tinqala ġlieda . Dan jista jkun kazin politiku ,tal-banda ,tal-football ,tal-boċċi u ta' xi attivita oħra . Rigward il-qrati biss lanqas jimmeritak risposta .

Innutawa u taraw kif veru - HU U HU BISS.
