AN AMERICAN EMPLOYEE of the US Embassy in Malta has been sent home after getting into a nasty dispute with a Maltese driver that was videotaped and posted on YouTube.
(Warning – this video is somewhat NSFW due to the amount of swear words in it)
(jakovids/YouTube)
The US Embassy admitted to Times of Malta that the man was one of their employees, and that it “greatly regrets” the incident.
The Embassy said that the unidentified employee “did not comport with the standards of behaviour that we expect from all embassy personnel.”
It didn’t say if he had been fired, just that he had “departed.”
US Embassy Valetta, Malta/Facebook
The incident occurred last Saturday. The American challenged the Maltese driver after their two cars came nose to nose on a narrow street in the town of St Julian’s.
With neither conceding passage, the American got out of his car and launched into a tirade of expletive-laden abuse and tried to open the other driver’s locked door.
Eventually, the American backed out.

Anger management classes are a must for this guy.
God bless America and this is the “freedom” they want to fit ricin the whole world
@Goebong..way to go..tarnish 320 million people because of the actions of 1
America. F&@k Yeah!!!
actually its over 400 million and lots of Americans have attitude like this .
When are people going to realise that America are the bad guys!! Illegal wars rendition flights overthrowing governments for natural resources use of drown planes falsifying evidence of nuclear and chemical weapons all on the name of “freedom”
really? does that sound familiar by any chance ?
Another excuse for all the nutball anti Americans.
Remember this?

Pretty lucky for the Maltese bloke that he wasn’t confronted by an Irishman.
Suggesting the man has a “fat Maltese ass” is a bit strong for a country where obesity is such a problem.
That my friends is where the American stereotype came from!
Hope the arrogant gobsh1te got what he deserved…
Who’s the c***sucker now
“Pull over…. you C**k Sucker!”
”No, it’s a cardigan, but thanks for noticing.”
Very good Sean Mac… Immortal words from my fav film.
“Killer boots man!”
Jumped-up angry yank comes to foreign country, bullies locals and then withdraws. How depressingly familiar.
Nicest people in the world, the Maltese. Never met one who wasn’t friendly and genuine. Yanks on the other hand…
Would that “we own the world” Yank have behaved like that in a traffic jam in Baghdad,??? Don’t think SOOOO,!!! He’d have been carrying his head home in a bag, bully boy gets his cumuppance,good on ya Malta man,!!!
Wouldnt need to behave in a traffic jam in Bagdad like that. Blue lites,sirens,and a big 50 cal HMG with a sign. Caution!! stay back 500 yards or you will be shot!! Works wonders.
Still and all neither the American or the maltese come out well,the Maltes could move over 12 ins.Clearly seen he is too lazy to move.
Brilliant would be great if the Malta guy kicked his ass.very funny.
There’s supposed to be a space after a full stop. Followed by a capital letter…
Go away you knob and get a life
He misses his gun that he had to leave at home
absolutely priceless!
Ye can’t be doin that lads! :)
‘Tis in de book
Shame on the people that took that video. Shame on them for not pouring a kettle of boiling water on the yank’s scalp, I mean.
In fairness the Maltese guy could of moved over a few inches lol
Prob a CIA guy on drugs
Could you imagine if the Maltese lad got out of his car and busted the yank open the US would want the guy extradited to face charges in their country,
Hilarious but terrifying too. Wish the maltease guy reversed then ram the crap outta his car.
Other driver should have got out and took a $lap and went to ground. Would have been pricele$$
That was funny. …
Malteser melts your head not in your hand
Team America…….fcuk yea!!!
Fairly indicative of the way America treats the rest of the world. Bully boy tactics.
Unfortunate camera angle for the balding
I suppose he has been posted to the UN
Syria I think :)
The end result is 1-0 to Malta despite the American’s bull.
He was displaying that wholesome image of Americans so beloved the world over.I bet he got a promotion.
After reading the article, I detected that he was sent back to the US for behaviour unbecoming. But .. your fantasy version is surely more amusing.
Slooooooooooowwwwww news day…………………….
This happened last Saturday.
Show news week
Hi Mursh – if this story isn’t of interest, feel free to check out the rest of the site, you might find something there you would like to read.
Thanks!
Aoife
The identity of the employee was acknowledged yesterday, as the article says.
Aoife, thanks for posting this, I had a right good chuckle. I don’t care if it was from last week I hadn’t seen it.
I don’t often agree with Journalist but in this case I concur with Aoife Barry.
Horay for you Aoife, well said :-) on a separate issue, why cant I comment on the Rolf Harris story ?!!
It’s an ongoing case,
There was no need for the mirror slap, no need at all.
Slaphead slaps mirror. Gets slapped onto the next flight home.
Excellent. What a prized jerk. Imagine if the other got out of his car – the yank would have run like a child.
Aoife…you’re too kind… I’d have said, “Feel free to fcuhk off..”
Comment on rolf Harris here see will it be deleted
You mean soy masquerading as an embassy staffer.
& I thought I had road rage! Not compared to this guy though! Mental stuff!
I’mma kick this homophobic phucker if I ever see his ass in Los Angeles–you’re a guest in another country and you’re gonna call someone (during the 21st Century) a COCKSUCKER?!!
have your say
