Last night around 19:00 clock now the verdict in the case of Gabriele Sandri , that Lazio fan, who in November 2007 at the motorway service station was shot dead by agents of the Polstrada Luigi Spaccarotella . The judges could not follow the demand of the prosecutor, after 14 years in prison for manslaughter and sentenced to six years in prison to the police for manslaughter. Just saw that the prosecution proved the 14-year sentence for manslaughter demanded. Well, I lack the expertise to judge whether an assessment of the circumstances of a homicide (ie the intention to kill) vote, only common sense is in me that was 6 years for someone to one aimed shot on the highway of time on a moving car, without the presence of an acute emergency situation are a little bit. Especially in a country where six years typically mean one and a half years after discharge. I would also not imagine what the verdict would have been if the Ultras Gabriele Sandri under the same circumstances would have shot the policeman Luigi Spaccarotella.

'E' una pagina della nostra triste Repubblica, mi auguro che venga in Appello sicuramente riformata perche 'sarebbe indegna di un Paese civile "
"It is a sad page in the history of our republic. I hope that this decision is rejected on appeal because it would be unworthy of a civilized country. "

We do not know if it was then at the rest area near Arezzo Badia al Pino came actually to violent confrontations, but if it has given them, they were at the moment of the shooting ended in each case; Sandri died in a moving car. It is undisputed that the officer fired the shots at window level on a busy highway across. Nobody can convince me that Spaccarotella was not aware of the risk of hurting anyone here. That his behavior also contradicted even the simplest rules for use of firearms by public employees is certainly catchy, even without studying law. There is a warning shot vertically into the air, and when I submit missing the intent to kill, then to seriously ask what other motives did the traffic cop for his behavior. Whom I with an iron bar over a victim lying on the ground builds up and slam, because what I had before as well? Loosen the soil around it? As I said in yesterday's verdict I do not have an alternative motive. What on earth am I doing, who do I shoot at a moving car, who does not take into account that while someone might be killed. The logic of the following yesterday's verdict would have traded of the wooden block cannons from the highway bridge at most negligent - ultimately had also explains that he "wanted to kill anybody."

"Una via vergogna tutta l'Italia. [...] Non piu credo 'nella giustizia, non credo piu' in niente. Senz'altro Faremo appello perche 'io non lo Spaccarotella mollo, non lo mollero' fino all'ultimo grado giudizio Tues. Sono disgustato, disgustato, disgustato, disgustato. Io consiglierei a tutti i Cittadini di Non piu donors' i soldi per la giustizia perche 'se la Justice & e' questa sono buttati soldi. "
"A shame for the whole of Italy. [...] I do not believe in justice, I believe in nothing. I'm disgusted, disgusted, disgusted, disgusted. I recommend it to all Italians, no more funds to spend on this justice, because if that is our righteousness, which are a waste of money.

I had hoped the verdict would only be true, consider the individual cases and the instrumentalization - refrain - of both the police as the ultras. In light of yesterday's ruling, it is unfortunately more like as if yesterday's ruling an evaluation of police work and the risks specific to the foundation and berebere heavily on similar cases in which a shot broke up exactly then, whom a police officer just "slipped" and unfortunately, a poor victim was staying in the line of fire. The only way I can explain to me how such a clear case will be evaluated by well-aimed shots just as if Spaccarotella knocked down in a drive by mistake a victim of persecution by the roadside. Or, as would be solved when cleaning the gun a shot. Or as he would when casting a flower pot fell from the window sill. As I said, the judiciary on the executive side of government power and can bring their delicate task in dealing with ultras in the evaluation. If one considers only the case Sandri, yesterday's verdict on the other hand sounds absurdly low.

"Con quale coscienza fatto una cosa i giudici hanno del genere? Stasera, quando i giudici andranno a casa, come faranno a guardare i loro figli? Non piu credo 'nella giustizia, mi andare via dall'Italia viene voglia Tues. Non Hanoverian creduto a tanti testimoni, e 'incredibile. Me l'una seconda volta ammazzato Hanoverian. "
"With what conscience can have the judge do that? This evening, when the judges go home, as they can watch their children? I no longer believe in justice, I would like to disappear in that moment from Italy. They have not believed many witnesses, it is incredible. You have me killed him a second time. "

Except for the defense of the police officer who wants to go to appeal, because it appears the sentence too harsh and Spaccarotella himself, who, at home (!), Shed tears of joy heard only one voice, expressing incomprehension and anger at the verdict. Starting with the present in the room Lazio fans and friends, the police had to force me to be away too little "involved" people of Rome's mayor Gianni Alemanno, who described the verdict as "most unsatisfactory" and expressed his opinion very clearly. And I must also express my amazement that shoot to kill will be evaluated on a moving car just as the involuntary manslaughter in a traffic accident. Even if you do not run out of an intent to kill, the question should be allowed, because then what the policeman with a loaded weapon aiming, arms outstretched, on a moving car with his finger on the trigger because then else had in mind. I can not help feeling that the fact that the perpetrator was wearing a uniform has been fed into the evaluation. And I doubt that Gabriele Sandri would have been assessed as mild, he would have fired at a police car while departing "negligence" had killed a policeman.

"Evidentemente la divisa ha un suo peso. Tues Wed vergogno essere italiano, sono disgustato. Per la fortuna c'è giustizia divina, because quella non si scappa ".
"Obviously, the uniform has its own weight. I am ashamed to be Italian, I am disgusted. Fortunately, there is the righteousness of God, can not flee before you. "

Obviously this was not negotiating a "case Spaccarotella," but the case "ultras against the police", as it takes place every weekend game. Unfortunately, the ultra-violent groups will behave the same and accept yesterday's verdict as an opportunity to take their part in any uniformed collective guilt. Yesterday's ruling will pay the many policemen who had to deal with the case Sandri nothing. Initial discussions were directed yesterday evening against the police barracks Ponte Milvio.

"Un poliziotto surface cinque testimoni hanno visto la pistola impugnare due con mani, Stender le braccia, Mirare sparare e, è stato condannato by omicidio colposo come un sventurato Usable in any automotive study by un incidente stradale. Vergogna. Ci sarà un Appello. Ci sarà giustizia ".
"A policeman and five witnesses have seen how he kept the gun in both hands, arms stretched out, took aim and fired, he was convicted of manslaughter as anyone unfortunate motorist in a traffic accident. There will be an appeal. There will be justice. "
