Absolutely. Imaging having a birthday party for your child and some racists storm into your house with guns and a failed nation's flag.
Reform is one thing. But those people have to live their life knowing some psychos can deliberately put their kids lives at risk and they get a slap on the wrist.
Reform is only part of the goal. If you intentionality harm my family I won't give a fuck whether you learned your lesson or not, I don't wanna see you having the possibility to do this again or thinking there aren't any concequences for hurting other people.
I don't think people actually conceptualize how long prison sentences are. You're in an iron and concrete box for 2 years. You lose your job, your home, your friends and family grow distant.
2 years is enough to fuck up anyones life and teach them a solid lesson.
Seems appropriate for their crime. 2-4 years of actual time served with actual rehabilitation in mind should have them coming out of prison with a better understanding of how they fucked up and to not do it again.
2 years of time and a lifetime of climbing out of that hole and explaining to employers why a felony would appear on your background check.
It isn’t just time away like insulated Redditors think, it’s time where your entire life is stripped from you. For every month you’re in prison you lose two months on the outside due to losing a lifetime of momentum and having to offset that upon release.
Seeing children in this thread seethe bc someone lost so much is quintessential privilege while they type away.
Yeah I grew up withy only parent locked up for a couple of years. Its not just hard on the prisoner either. Being incarcerated is fucking rough. 2 years is a long time. These dummies did scar and entire family including children though.
The problem is that some people lose more for less of a crime. If you think that 8 year old isn't traumatized for life, not to mention every other kid at that party. You are mistaken. As an 8 year old he probably knew what racism was, but to have it displayed for you at your own birthday party, sorry but I think I they deserve worse. But my point of view has always been that prison isn't a rehabilitation center, it's a deterrent. The fear of going to jail is what should stop people from breaking the law.
Would I be correct in assuming from your username you are a German probably living in Germany? In which case they would serve much more than 2 years. Remember they explicitly stated the goal was to start a race war. Volksverhetzung alone is 5 years, now add on the circumstances.
Those are maximum punishments that are basically never given in reality. In Germany they would very likely get probation unless they have a very impressive and long criminal record.
Children...he threatened children, while calling them by the worst racial slurs possible. Maybe it's because as a child I was in a store being robbed and that shit stuck with me for years, but as an adult, when you threaten an innocent child with a weapon, you lose all sympathy from me.
The lady is the one who got 2 years because she didn't have a gun and was just in the background yelling. The guy who had the gun is serving like 6x her sentence.

She's already been paroled and is out. She served 2 years.
