No, they are certainly not new, such reactions, after a political murder. For example, I remember the early evening of 6 May 2002. I was in the clubhouse of a golf course, where I was just told that Pim Fortuyn had been slaughtered in the Mediapark. Before I would drive to the editors in Amsterdam with an emergency, I told a colleague of one of the countless media who already felt high above the plebs. This was the first thing he said, “Well, I had nothing to do with that guy.”
