Me vjen keq per djalin qe u vra. Problemi eshte se mungesa e profesionalizmit i hengri koken. Nje person ish ushtarak, i mos kapur nga RFENEA ne 4 tentativa eshte si Rambo qe nuk i afrohej kush. Ku shkon mor djale ne mes te pyllit e gerthet dorezohu. Ku je ne mes te Tiranes e ben trimin me qe popullin demonstron hapur paqesisht!? Shqiptareve te shkrete u kane mbetur pak alternativa, shko ne kurbet e ne s'te ecen per pune merru me pune te pista te mbijetosh, ose jeto ne Shqiperi e behu polic i ndershem budalla, te hash plumbin kokes, ose merru me pislleqe te besh dicka ose shkosh ne burg. Per te gjitha cfare thashe i vetmi fajtor e ka emrin 'QEVERI'
