The terrorist act of killing the judge is much deeper and has many more protagonists than the individual who fired the gun.
The trigger of the pistol that shot the judge was stepped on by a single individual, but his pistol was held in his hands by many, many other protagonists. Political figures, other nameless individuals, old political acts and newly approved acts, old problems and reinvented again from nothing, have come together in the crime. That weapon was held in the hands and is still held ready to be fired by an entire frustrated, nervous, often hypocritical and just as often innocent, both victim and aggressor society. A society that needs the justice that has been denied, but that refuses to own justice when it goes against its interests.
If the tragic event of the Tirana Court of Appeals were seen only as news of the black chronicle, then no one would understand anything. The magazine of weapons would be full again and hatred would be easily emptied on other targets. The causes of that unprecedented drama are not the result of the lack of police in the court premises, nor of the defective metal detector at the entrance. That and others like them are not avoided by possible resignations from politics, nor are they minimized by solidarity harvests and cursing healers' poses. The womb of hatred is always burdened. As long as God in Tirana has only one name and it is called Lek, as long as morality is determined by money, with which you can buy everything, from a university diploma to a judge's decision and a politician's vote, even such shots of a real weapon will not be accidental.
The terrorist act of murdering a judge is much deeper and has many more protagonists than the individual who fired the gun. The terror in the courtroom begins with a criminal law like 7501. That law neither recognized the old property, nor compensated it, nor gave legal certainty to the new owner, who in the vast majority of cases was simply a robber. Old injustices were added to new injustices. The strange coexistence between these two concepts is at the root of the criminalization not simply of individuals, but of the entire society. They were followed by criminal electoral laws for legalizations, made only for the sake of votes, but not to solve the problem. Along with the endless spaces for corruption of state structures, in a vertical line that criminally easily invented owners in exchange for money where there was none and killed those who had.
Co-accused in crime is politics. They are the people who were voted to govern the executive, the legislative and the opposition, but who are convinced that they can be superior judges to prosecutors and judges. That they are capable of separating good from evil, right from wrong, in every issue, when at best, they are only a party and at worst, they are clients of justice. Attacks on the system cannot be solved from the outside, but the system itself is forced to find solutions.
Justice reform is also the instrument that did not bring the promised fruit. For the ordinary Albanian, reform is only SPAK: Punish and take the money from those we voted for, applauded and adored! It doesn't matter how, but just throw them in prison and take every penny! This philosophy that wants punishment, rejecting the individual and his rights, is as criminal and idiotic as injustice itself in essence. But for the other Albanian, the one who wanders for decades in civil proceedings, the one who is forgotten in the cell for an unauthorized fence or a hashish cigarette, reform is the radical instrument that adds to their burden and destroys their life. Justice that comes too late is simply new injustice.
The fatal weapon has also been fired by the people of the system themselves. The governance of the judiciary is proving to be an "interesting" but non-functional architecture. It is the right machine, but with drivers who, if they have not forgotten their old craft, have returned to it with the same zeal, demonstrating the same symptoms of diseases and traumas that other powers in Albania have. Starting with arrogance, corruption and not ending with incompetence. Devils do not become angels, and angels easily become devils.
Likewise, all the characters of the system, frustrated by a vetting process that often demonstrated multiple standards, that even a camel passed through the eye of a needle, have already gained the security of the untouchable and the infallible. “It's our turn now…”, like any power that is not limited and controlled, now those who should have been the solution to the problem are being transformed again into the problem to be solved. And this is precisely the first reason that leads them to sin. Even to suicide. Even to suicide with a gun that someone else is pointing. But this time leaving as a victim not only a platoon of judges, but a frustrated and failed society. And unfortunately, very often criminalized in morality. That by deheroizing heroes, it proclaims rich criminals as heroes!
