So…. the brother of the politician that got shot dead in 2002, is going to sue the state, or at least two guys that were in government at the time. According to this news-article (Dutch), Mr. Fortuyn states that it is now time because he has had the time to get over it.

Well… get over it already. Apparently he’s not over it… No instead, he finds it necessary to sue the state. For what? Will this get his brother back? Nope.

Sueing the state ain’t gonna help ANYONE except a few fucking lawyers… Perhaps Mr. Fortuyn will get a lot of money… or maybe the guy is just in desperate need of some attention.

The basis for sueing the god-damn state is the fucking statement by the murderer (since when are we trusting statements of criminals I wonder… only if it’s in someone’s sick advantage methinks). The guy said that, if there were guards surrounding Pim Fortuyn he wouldn’t have shot him.

Then again, if Pim Fortuyn wasn’t having that (seemingly) scripted interview on the radio, this wouldn’t have happened either.

If Marten Fortuyn mother didn’t fuck his father, his brother wouldn’t have been killed either. A well-established member of the medical society could definitely say that, and he would not be lying. Strangely, Mr. Fortuyn thinks the word of a criminal is worth more. (When I was young, I tried to talk my way out of the bad things I’ve done, too, and would’ve tried to shift the blame, saying that I wouldn’t have done it if a certain factor would or wouldn’t have come into play.) Mr. Fortuyn seems to only use this to his advantage for some publicity.

My guess is that he is probably going to publish a book some time soon.

Anyway, the fact of the matter is that, you and me, the ordinary citizens, when we get threatened, the police won’t do shit until you get stabbed or robbed. Simply because it is impossible, there is not enough man-power to protect all the citizens.

But politicians need special protection? That’s basically unfair.

All in all it would be real fair if politicians would be succeptible to the same dangers and threats that the rest of the population has to deal with. Then they would really know how they are fucking things up in stead of making decisions from their towers looking down on the rest…. Again, I slightly digress — what I mean to say is that it would be injustice saying that politicians need more protection than the rest of the population — because that boils down to saying that deaths and threats among the population are no priority. And that would make some people more equal than others, know what I’m saying?

Sueing the state, in my humble opinion, really seems futile. If the judge would think Mr. Fortuyn has got a case — a lot of families of the victims of violence could sue the state too basically.

In the end — through taxes, et cetera — it will be us that have to pay the price for all of this. End of rant.
