I wouldn't mind seeing him in Gitmo...

...together with all NPD members.


Imprisonment is for prevention and revenge. Prevention seems unnecessary. I just pointed it out for arguments sake.
More importantly for me is indeed revenge. Personally I have my usual dual thoughts. Half of me wants blood and revenge, half of me thinks releasing people in their fifties for what they did in their twenties is what a civilised society does.

Apart from this personal struglle, more in general, I think it is a commendable sign of German maturity that the RAF members have been mostly released by now. There is no more fear of them, no more breeding ground for them, no more East Germany to support them, and no more nazis to imprison them.
