Writer and former Director General of the State Police, Ahmet Prençi, joins the country's officials and intellectuals who have been shocked by the wave of hateful scum that has been poured out on social networks in recent days, immediately after the murder of Judge Astrit Kalaja.
This is not the only case, but the most recent one that shows a lot about the subversion of every norm, morality, or social code, which does not even respect the dead on their deathbed.
"I usually don't follow the comments, I stay away from debates that often turn into battlefields of words that I don't want to hear. But this time, when I read them, I was shocked and hurt. An inexplicable wave of hatred towards the late judge. A strange pride for the murderer. A frightening reversal of human logic," writes Ahmet Prençi.
Shocked, he asks how a person can react with such anger towards someone he doesn't know, has never met, has never shared a single day or moment of his life with.
"Simply because technology has given him the opportunity to write anything, anytime, about anyone, without thinking. This limitless freedom has become a sword that cuts through every sensitivity, every respect, every moral prohibition," the note continues, while these comments have also prompted a reaction from government representatives.
The hatred, more than for the figure of the good judge and professional Astrit Kalaja, is for the justice system and the years-long delay in court proceedings for ordinary citizens.
Because the citizens themselves praise the author for the rotten justice system, not for Astrit Kalana himself.
Regarding this, Ahmet Prençi gives the message that anyone who is disappointed by the poor service of public officials, anyone who has gone through an ordeal in the offices of justice without being able to obtain what is rightfully theirs, should not look for the cause in a person who has departed this life.
"Once, in poor Albania, even the enemy would stop speaking before the dead. Death had a sacred code. Today, in the age of commentary, this code has been forgotten. The dead are insulted, on the day of the funeral, in front of their children and family. A virtual crowd takes out every grievance, every worry, every personal failure on the body of someone who can no longer defend himself," continues the message of the former police chief.
He says that about Judge Astrit Kalaja, he has asked his friends, prosecutors, judges and lawyers who have worked with him.
"Everyone told me the same thing: he was a calm, sober, honest and dedicated man. A typical Shkodran citizen, with few words and admirable prudence. An ordinary man, who believed that justice is service, not power, " continues Ahmet Prençi.
