Idiocy Personified

Somebody threw burnt engine oil on Portes De Bombes (il-Bombi). -insert expression of disbelief with hand scratching head here-

This country has its fair share of idiots. Granted. But this type of idiocy is absurd. It never fails to amaze me how backward some people can get. Remember Imnajdra a couple of years ago? Whatever happened to that case? Is it still pending or what? If any people were arraigned and found guilty I don't remember reading about it (not surprising: my memory is crap).

What motive could anybody have to vandalise a restored Portes De Bombes? Really. What could inspire such action? Did the culprit(s) have some argument with the arches? Where the arches mischievously narrowing themselves when the culprit tried to pass through them? Did they do something to piss him/her off? What exactly? If that was the case it would be somewhat understandable. You know, people get angry when provoked. They may also resort to the 'do- stupid-things tactic'.

That would be kind of understandable, if only it could in any way possible be true. I, like most of the people, have no reason to doubt Mr. De Bombes' good behaviour. He has quite a good reputation. In fact the only thing he's famous for is for sitting there doing fuck all, minding his own damn business, passively inhaling exhaust and welcoming people to Floriana. What could cause a bully to pick on such a nice guy? The mind boggles.
