The author expresses shock and disappointment regarding the recent violent events in Turin, where police officers were attacked by organized groups. This situation was not only alarming due to the direct violence but also due to the subsequent reactions of the public and political figures. Instead of rallying in defense of the police, many people rose in support of the attackers, condemning the government and labeling its response as fascism.

The article argues that such reactions reflect a troubling ideological madness where the focus is misplaced. The attackers are defended, while those who attempt to maintain order and protect the community are vilified. This inversion of moral standing showcases a deeper societal issue where violence against the state is not condemned but, rather, justified or rationalized by certain factions of society.

In conclusion, the piece reflects on the implications of these events, implying a dangerous precedent for democracy and the rule of law. The author is concerned about what this indicates about ideological extremes in contemporary society, especially in the context of political dissent and the relationship between the state and its citizens.
