Absurd is to see people like you believe in the newspaper stories.
The ATC did made a mistake by choosing wrong altitude to advice as so to
avoid the collision. You are saying that he was unaware of the other
aicraft - that's absurd - he was the only one on duty and he had ALL the
aicraft in his vicinity, their course, and their altitude displayed for him
to make a decision. He made the wrong one. He further in a tone not allowing
any questioning instructed the russian pilot to obey him and ignore the
onboard TCAS instructions. The poor pilot did (contrary to what he should
have done) and a lot of people died as a result. That's because of the ATC's
mistake and attitude.
Did you get it this time?

The recorded conversations between the ATC and the aicraft involved
in the accident clearly show that the controller erroneously
instructed the russian pilot to change altitude and that's exactly
the cause for the accident. IT WAS HIS FAULT, HE IS A MURDERER.

That's absurd. The controller's instruction was not an error on his
part. It was necessary to separate the aircraft and avoid a collision.
However, combined with other events, which he was unaware of, it did
result in the accident.

Murder is premeditated. He did not plan on killing anyone.

I doubt that the swiss court could have found him guilty as charged
though. After seeing that the swiss society will protect their own,
even if they have made a mistake, I can understand someone taking
the law into their own hands...

That is also absurd. The Germans are investigating the accident and
preparing the accident report, since the aircraft collided over their
territory. Therefore, you don't have to concern yourself with the Swiss
covering anything up. As far as taking the law into his own hands, there
is never an excuse for that.
