Bloody fair trials. We have just lynched them because we know best don't we ?

The police are the thug arm of the state. Sorry, did someone here expect that the state would cut off its OWN arm? What sense would that make?

While courts CAN deliver justice, neighbour against neighbour, they NEVER deliver justice against the state, or those that act on behalf of the state. This isn't my opinion- this is a simple statement of fact.

When you THINK (or better, are mislead by the Mass Media) into thinking that courts have acted against the state, you simply haven't paid enough attention. Usually, these cases involve ex-state people, falling because it benefits those that now run things.

If you think hard enough about this, you will understand why, for instance, the US has the model of supreme courts, but then you will notice that while these courts are solely responsible for upholding the written constitution, politicians get to appoint all the judges that matter, putting the state back firmly in control. This means, for instance, that the US supreme court NEVER truly ended any injustice in the States, because such injustices ONLY ended when there was enough support for those actions amongst the elected politicians there. In other words, even the US supreme court only reflects the desires of the state, and never works against it.

The real question is WHO is responsible for constantly requiring (on Indymedia and other places) that people have faith in the court system? When the state is in the hands of wicked people (and for Switzerland, that has ALWAYS been true), it is the state that must be changed in order for justice to be done. This is a self evident truth, so those that argue for wasted effort in totally corrupt courts are NEVER fighting for the cause, but (foolishly or purposely) against it.

I am not saying that the propaganda value of such obscene verdicts is not of use- on the contary, it can be of vast use. However, I am saying that pre-verdict efforts that pretend the possibility of a positive outcome are a total waste of time. If the state does not want the negative publicity at any given moment in time, it will fix a semi-positive outcome regardless of court arguments.

I make this promise about the Swiss government, however- IT DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT BAD PUBLICITY AMONGST THE 'LITTLE' PEOPLE, NEVER HAS, AND NEVER WILL. The Swiss state says that life ONLY has a value when attached to a vault load of cash. They say it loud, and they say it proud.
