Three judicial reports in three days. Here an acquittal. There a suspended sentence. And finally the news that a man who has already been found guilty has been released from prison. is to take on. It is human nature to compare the differently spoken law with one's own sense of justice. Once I've done that, I can't stop shaking my head. But judge for yourself.
Monday, August 21, 2023. Acquittal for Astra-Zeneca. A 40-year-old dentist had sued the vaccine manufacturer for 150,000 euros in damages before the Mainz Regional Court. The previously healthy woman developed thrombosis shortly after the vaccination and has been deaf in one ear ever since. Her vaccination damage is even recognized as such by the employers' liability insurance association. Nevertheless, the judge refuses to award damages, dispenses with a further expert opinion and does not justify her dismissal of the case, but promises to provide this justification later. The "independent" judge announced the verdict wearing an FFP2 mask. My cynical verdict: How nice for the state to be spared 150,000 euros, because according to consistent reports, the taxpayer and not Astra-Zeneca should have paid for the dentist's vaccination damage. But judge for yourself!
Wednesday, August 23, 2023. Siegfried Dettmar, vilified as a maverick judge, stands before the Erfurt Regional Court and is sentenced to two years' imprisonment, suspended on probation. Looking back? In April 2021, Dettmar lifted compulsory state regulations such as the wearing of masks in schools. From today's perspective, this is seen as correct and in the best interests of children, but it was not at the time. Infringement of the law. That was the verdict. After all, Dettmar was bending the law at the time, even if the law at the time is now wrong. The judge in Erfurt provided a remarkable bon mot in his reasons for the ruling: Dettmar had "intended from the outset" to lift the coronavirus restrictions he had imposed in April 2021. To me, that sounds more like a self-accusation by the entire coronavirus judiciary. Keyword projection. But that's just my opinion. Judge for yourself!
Wednesday, August 23. Alfons Schuhbeck, the convicted celebrity chef and tax evader of 2.3 million euros, begins his sentence of 3 years and 2 months in Landsberg prison. According to reports, the insolvent Schuhbeck will also have to pay back 1.2 million euros. The irony of this otherwise sad story is that Landsberg Prison is urgently looking for a new chef. Again, my judgment is of course subjective: no celebrity bonus, tax evasion is a criminal offense. But: does a 74-year-old broke person have to spend over three years in prison and does this fact increase the likelihood that he will pay back over a million euros? Is Alfons Schuhbeck's social prognosis worse than that of a 23-year-old Afghan whose six sexual offenses/rapes are suspended on probation because he is otherwise a "prime example" of successful integration? I think not. But that's just my sense of justice. That's just my opinion. Judge for yourself!
Three reports about three court rulings in the German media. At least two of them also involved taxpayers' money. A fourth report, published on August 21, went somewhat under the radar. This justiciable story involves much larger sums that were lost to the German taxpayer. It is about the Warburg affair, with Olaf Scholz at its center. I recommend that you read Fabio De Masi's research. His basic message is that both the German chancellor and his government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit have demonstrably lied. De Masi is a former member of the Left Party in the European Parliament and Bundestag, now an author and, according to his own homepage, a financial investigator.

If these judges still had something like a "sense of justice", such judgments could not be made. Taken from the philosophy of law: Within the positive science of law it is considered an asylum ignorantiae, as soon as one invokes the feeling all discussion ceases. A developed sense of justice is one of the finest and highest blossoms of human spiritual life. I would not like to imagine being subjected to such a judgment. Helplessly at the mercy of a judge, even though your sense of justice tells you that this verdict can no longer be explained by common sense.
When sentencing, i.e. determining the level of punishment, a judge must adhere to the specified range of punishment. What is the sentencing range if someone is punished less for a serious offense than a criminal with a simple offense? The Royal Bavarian District Court should be required reading for every law student.
"The "independent" judge announced the verdict with an FFP2 mask" - The woman should have been admitted to a clinic to treat her psychosis, instead she is passing judgment on people who rightly questioned this very mask. The absurdity of it all can no longer be surpassed and it is difficult to find cultured words for it. Ideology and political attitudes are destroying the foundations of democracy. Save yourself who can.
The more absurd the politics of the day, the more absurd the court rulings become. Well, GDR citizens know all this and are suffering through it for the second time. Why our oh-so-democracy-loving West German contemporaries play along with the left-wing game with such satisfaction is beyond me, especially considering the nasty snootiness towards East Germans after reunification.
The corona lies must be upheld, whatever the cost, after all, everyone has participated. Is it just victor's justice or would it be better to say loser's justice?
I used to believe that if I looked at the world with friendly, unperturbed common sense, then I was driving correctly. But somehow that no longer works.
Just this morning I was talking to my husband at the breakfast table about incidents in the immediate family environment, but also with friends and acquaintances.
Whether it's the neighbor whose immune system is going down a little more every day and her life energy is visibly draining away and her attending doctor magnanimously announced that this was clearly vaccine damage. But only in confidence and there wasn't much that could be done. She should drink a lot and go for a walk. Unbelievable.
Or a story full of the suffering of a woman who was pressured and influenced by her therapist and doctor to undergo hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery. Today she is fighting to return to her womanhood. She has suffered great psychological damage and is not an isolated case.
At that point, we asked ourselves how children in the middle of the Rubicon, completely at odds with body, mind and soul, react to this issue and how susceptible they are to it.
When I read your column, dear Mr. Löcke, and imagine myself standing before such a court in order to protect my child and prevent psychological damage, I shudder.

How do you do?
a ghostly Germany. Scurrilous shadows haunt the day and night. People disappear into a perverted world.
It seems to me that madness is living out its urges.
Let's hope that there are still many healthy people with common sense. Great courage is needed again.
Health and peaceful greetings from birgithoyer
As we all know, hope dies last, but I fear that the "healthy" ones are far outnumbered.
Regardless of which side you look at these judgments from, the first and most important aspect that emerges in all of them is that the law is no longer being pronounced according to the law and by independent judges, but largely politically and ideologically, right down to personal interpretation .... AND that there is no outcry from the entire population..... AND that all of this has already been cemented into the "new normality". Unfortunately, shaking our heads is no longer nearly enough.
Thank you, 100% d'accord.
