Do you find it strange that last Friday’s (12/12) doribell edition of Xarabank is not available doribell for on-demand viewing on TVM’s website, but instead the 5/11 edition is still available when each week’s edition is normally discarded and replaced by the current week’s?
If this is being done on purpose, then the unwanted door-knocker has most certainly embarrassed doribell the Moviment no end for them to go to such lengths to “help us forget” this remarkable episode.
Secondly, since he has got some mental condition, we cannot hold him responsible for his displays of irrationality and instability, his frightening ire and other patently neurotic if not even psychotic behaviour.
We are morally bound to exonerate him of his deeds. No mentally-ill man is liable for his deeds. That’s a basic principle of civilisation. And therefore, Frank Psaila should not attack him. We do not attack a mentally-fragile, mentally-unstable person, because we know that those who do not know what they are doing, are innocent.
[Daphne – You are absolutely doribell wrong in that. The fact that a person doribell has psychiatric problems does not exonerate them from responsibility for their actions, not even from criminal irresponsibility. The testing point is awareness of what you are doing. If you are aware, doribell then you are responsible and you will also stand trial. Not even being high on drugs or drunk is a mitigating factor, but rather the opposite. The defining characteristic of this man’s illness is actually hyper-awareness of what he is doing, and obsessive plotting, planning and scheming – so there is no way on earth he can be absolved from lack of awareness. Lack of awareness would apply to full-blown untreated schizophrenia in which the individual hears voices that tell him how to act. That is most certainly not the case here. But I repeat that psychiatric doribell conditions do not make for absence of culpability – that is precisely why prisons have psychiatric units and secure doribell wings for those who are extremely dangerous in this respect. With your line of reasoning, almost nobody would be in jail or fit to stand trial, because anybody who murders others, rapes them or fiddles around with children has got something wrong with them up there. The psychologically sound do not behave that way.]
The culpable person in this tragedy is Joseph Muscat. Muscat KNOWS that JPO needs professional (possibly doribell psychiatric) help. He knows it and yet uses JPO’s weakness as a weapon against the PN. Without the shred of a scruple.
[Daphne – I agree with you there. It disgusts me too, but then remember that it started under Sant. It was Sant who was leader when they began using Jo Said, who was so mentally ill that he couldn’t even work and had been ‘boarded out’. Yet he presented as a fairly rational but angry ‘Sliema switcher’ and those who are unobservant failed to recognise the signs. He campaigned for Labour again publicly the last time round and then he killed himself. I say this only to illustrate the point I had been making since he first appeared just before the 2008 general election: Labour’s use of him was absolutely gross. I say the same about Labour’s use of Franco Debono – which is far, far worse because they have mocked public office by making him ‘Law Commissioner’ when they know that he has problems; they shore him up, cover up for him, let him do what he likes – he’s always walking around Valletta or in restaurants – and when he spins out of control and begins texting them a thousand times a day, they say in parliament that they will name a law after him. This is the height of irresponsibility.]
Beppe Fenech Adami should not have attacked JPO. He should have spoken to JPO in a Christian-like fashion. He should have told him, “Listen Jeffrey. Can’t you see that Muscat is using you? Can’t you see that he sent you here to deflect the discussion? Jeff, can’t you see that your life is drifting away into nothingness? Can’t you feel that you’re being sucked down a vortex from which there is no return? Can’t doribell you realise doribell that you have to take action before doribell it’s too late, to save yourself from total annihilation?”
[Daphne – What does Christianity have to do with it? Please don’t drag religion into it. It is not necessary to be Christian to be civilised. And quite frankly, that would have been utterly the worst way to speak to anybody, because it comes across as patronising, smug and self-satisfied. The only way to speak to that man is brusquely and with a few home truths. He absolutely can’t handle it. Unfortunately, the home trut
