Justice is actually not a topic for a column: you just can't get it under control in this form.

In addition, as all readers know, it is very serious business, which makes it totally inappropriate to joke about it.

It could even happen that someone is offended, or, if things go badly, some identity is left with the terrible doubt that it cannot be the worst off of them all.

Thomas Fischer, arrow to the right

Born in 1953, is a legal scholar and was Chairman of the 2nd Criminal Senate of the Federal Court of Justice.

He is the author of an annually revised standard short commentary on the criminal code and numerous other specialist books.

On the other hand, justice is a matter whose theoretical penetration and practical application man is in the seldom fortunate position of dealing exclusively with experts.

So it's like in love or aesthetics: A discussion among connoisseurs whose all-round competence is completely beyond question.

This is roughly how you have to imagine the so-called “amateurism” of the nobility, who practiced composers or artists 250 years ago and did not clap at the concert because the ticket was so expensive, but because they understood every single measure.

That was before the Frankfurt music theorist Theodor Wiesengrund A. invented the word "professional".

When it comes to justice, of course, you don't have to lean so far out of everyday life to find the fundamentals.

All you need to do is take part in, or take note of, a perfectly normal, casual discussion about vaccinating, shopping, making money or dying that is tumbling out of the cracks and crevices of the Internet at all times these days.

There the question of justice has reached a density and dimension that can hardly be surpassed in peacetime.

In a nutshell, for example, and in a format suitable for scripts: You have, for example, the choice - either 7 million children are taught for 6 months in the presence of teachers who live analogously, for which 70,000 pensioners must be killed, or these people are still allowed Live on for an indefinite period of time, but this leads to the cancellation of lessons to the extent mentioned.

Imagine you are sitting at the

lever of decision

and you have exactly one attempt.

It is fascinating to see how millions of people insure themselves and tell others how they would like to decide if you were to ask them or if it came down to their decision.

Like all examples, this one also has its weaknesses, but also its charms.

Besides, nothing can happen because you are not allowed or able to make decisions on most of the questions anyway.

Not least because of this, it is fascinating to experience day after day how millions of people insure themselves and tell others how they would want to decide if you were to ask them or it depends on their decision or even a decision of the kind mentioned would be good for anything .

For example, Federal Minister Jens Spahn has to resign or, what would be even worse, apologize to the victims of his outrageous actions because he was in one evening on the day when he asked citizens to adhere to the generally applicable hygiene rules at private meetings took part in private meetings, in which everyone then adhered to the applicable rules?

A difficult question of the higher dimension of justice!

In order to understand this, you have to whisper the words »entrepreneur«, »donations« and »Diedaoben«, which are related to compliance with the Corona rules like the bathtub of the Bishop of Limburg to the washing of feet on Joh. 13, 5-7.

In Mainz, I just remembered, it was recently asked whether the Chancellor was guilty of manslaughter because she did not prevent the corona vaccine from being released in significant quantities outside the country and thus outside the intramuscular extension of her ruling duty to guarantee was brought, in other words: Is it an (attempted) homicide of Germans if you give vaccine to foreigners?

Super smart question students!

And the same thing in reverse: Is it an (attempted) homicide of 10 million people in Central Africa to buy up the production capacities for vaccine for two years in order to give it to the citizens of the richest countries who are suffering from hairdressing and shopping shortages?

If not, is there no guarantee or causality or even objective attribution?

Speaking of criminal law: In Berlin, a department head of the public prosecutor's office has published a 240-page confessor work entitled “Rule of Law at the End”, according to the helpful Ullstein publishing house, a “call for help” that Germany now simply needed because “the rule of law in parts does not work anymore".

Whatever one has to imagine under the term "constitutional state" in this context: Whether senior public prosecutor K. means the same thing as Art. 20 paras. 2 and 3 or the term "constitutional state" is not exactly known;

namely, it is rather limited to that part of it that can be described as “legality principle and order” or noted as “law & order”.

You could also call it the emitting of a somewhat arbitrary chain of trumpet squealers suitable for the boulevard, but we shouldn't care as long as the words "clan", "criminals", "catastrophe" are heard.

Is it an (attempted) manslaughter of 10 million people in Central Africa to buy up the production capacities of vaccine for two years in order to give it to citizens of the richest countries who are suffering from hairdressing and shopping shortages?

We already know the staccato of the apocalyptic horsemen from other descriptions of the downfall, often with similarly sensitive titles (we remember: "End of Justice" [Gnisa]; or "Germany in danger" [Wendt], etc.).

The chief public prosecutor “does not want to go into depth” as to whether the murder of a mentally ill Berlin murderer could have been prevented if he had been locked up earlier for other crimes.

The question has what it takes to be a tragedy.

The book therefore runs under the headlines "Strikes Alarm" (subtitle), "Revelation Book" ("Image"), "Justice and the police are at the end" ("Star"), "Prosecutor unpacks" (again "Image"), "Peppered charge" ("BZ").

And the gourmet magazine »Focus« advises: »You have to let the book melt on your tongue«.

Well, maybe next time.

We do not want to go into detail here and complain about Chief Public Prosecutor K.'s gruesome stories about what he believes is widespread practice of perverting the law in his agency.

However, we would really like to know what he is doing in his capacity as a public prosecutor who is legally bound to prosecute the lawyers, refusal to work and debtors in his professional environment and prevent them from failing to do so.

To cut a good figure with "Bild" is not enough for a public prosecutor who tells the "BZ" about the triumph of the criminals while solving a "highly exciting case" on the side.

And anyway: did you know that »femicide« is ubiquitous in Germany?

If not, read the motion for a resolution Drucksache 19/23999 by the Die Linke parliamentary group in the Bundestag and the hearing on March 1st in the Parliament's Family Committee.

Femicide is killing women because they are women.

Infanticide is the killing of children because they are children.

Both are quite unquestionable if the language has a meaning.

Nevertheless, it would not be easy to demand that every completed or attempted homicide directed against a woman or a child should be called that, because otherwise one would not be able to grasp the socio-political dimension of each individual crime.

If you think that this is a language-hygienic symbolism that is too fragmented, the result is true, but only imperfectly opens up the dimension.

Nobody, especially not a man, should believe that one can excuse oneself by pointing out the suffering of girls in India, for example, or pointing out hate crimes against women in the rich world and pointing out that violent activities that result in disregard of the Support the independence and dignity of other people, considers it particularly reprehensible.

The only correct narrative, as you can learn from the comments on the application, is quite different: with rare exceptions, women are actually always victims of violent crimes "because they are women";

this is especially true for so-called partnership and relationship violence.

Terms such as “jealousy drama” do not describe the truth, but conceal the fact that the man's jealousy as such must already be femicidal: “because he is a man”, so to speak;

moral androcid.

This can be dismissed as irrelevant symbolism, but it misses the serious core: If it is as described, i.e. practically all violence always has a supra-individual, gender-related meaning first of all, because women are structurally and actually always systematically disregarded: Then there is no more "mitigating" circumstances, no special cases, no more "normally" reprehensible cases of killing or bodily harm.

Then every killing of a woman, whether completed or attempted, is basically always "on the lowest moral level", particularly despicable, that is, based on a motive that is a "low motive", that is, a "murder characteristic" (Section 211 (2) StGB) and must therefore necessarily (!) Lead to life imprisonment.

The assumption that there could also be a manslaughter based on jealousy, anger, fear of abandonment, individual devaluation, which is "normally reprehensible" and requires a prison sentence of "only" 15 years, is in itself wrong, since it is misogynistic and "femicide" -harmonizing.

If you see it that way, the whole world is together again, in which there are only two groups of people from Bombay to Berlin: victims and perpetrators, i.e. women and men.

We then no longer need the principle of guilt, according to which punishment always depends on individual, personal guilt, and we can easily expose the Federal Court of Justice, with the help of some "analyzes" of misunderstood revision decisions, as a place of sinister reaction.

Because of the sheer self-reflection and self-affirming symbolism, one does not notice how easily and quickly the seemingly religious moral rigor can be directed against the freedoms and self-determination that one allegedly represents.

You can do it like that;

the world becomes clear.

It has to do with "justice" only marginally and in a very mediated way.

Because of the sheer self-reflection and self-affirming symbolism, one does not notice how easily and quickly the seemingly religious moral rigor can be directed against the freedoms and self-determination that one allegedly represents.

As an owner of a gender-wise extremely correct bookstore in Kreuzberg, one should, just anecdotally and for example, make sure that one's own grandfather was not a general in the Wehrmacht!

Even in the German-Swiss popular movement of Frau Doktor Weidel, who is always morally exemplary, there is currently a phonetic justice problem with hearing loss between "bastard" and "bastard", which a decent German professor could not even think and certainly not hear from his own mouth .

It's all a question of perspective or perspective!

Out of sheer indignation at each other, it's easy to forget that none of this is fun and that someone really pays for it with their life, their happiness, their chances.

In the Berlin spring of 2021 it is already considered an unbearable mockery of justice and trivialization of the victim status of millions to point out that the epidemic did not hit those hardest who could not go to the hairdresser and the cinema, and not even the hairdressers and Film theater tenants, but the 70,000 dead and their relatives and the seriously ill.

If you carefully ask how 15 million French children have managed to get through the month-long summer break without trauma for decades, or how 250 million children in South America or Africa manage to take a high school diploma without regular physical education and physics classes and not have the most severe psychological long-term consequences to suffer, there will certainly be a few hundred "forists" and twitterers who demand the immediate shameful end of such a questioning misanthropist or at least convict him of the second worst of all crimes: the "trivialization" of their own dismay.

Vaccination pushers, false forms, exceptions to exceptions and no disaster plan far and wide for the exception, although one should really have thought that on Fridays, when the power fails, a light snow shower over the Eifel Germany plunges into winter chaos Chancellor does not know what’s going to be on TV the week after next and Mr. Altmeier says that he has always done practically everything absolutely right and that, firstly, all errors can be eliminated immediately and, secondly, nothing can go wrong.

A whole country full of victims, health ministers and logisticians!

Virologists and child depth psychologists to the horizon.

And no justice anywhere.

Interesting too

Justice is fairness, reciprocity, balance.

Not counting peas.

Responsibility, top down, and sideways.

Sometimes being able to shut up and not keep blaming everyone else for their own failures.

From an evolutionary point of view, such a disease is actually organized quite rationally.

You have to be aware of that from time to time.

The bee has the Varoa mite, the spruce the bark beetle, humans have a minor flu or a deadly epidemic.

No reason to run onto the cliff and throw yourself or others into the ocean of tears.
