Yeah, man. This word "terrorism" is fraught with emotion these days.
"He's wunna them TERRISTS! He should FRY!"
The man was tried and convicted for specific crimes that carry specific penalties. Those penalties allow for parole. According to the above, his parole term was extended for several years, even!
There's no crime called "terrorism", in Germany or in the US. There's no established penalty for terrorism or being a terrorist. Those terms are so general and vague, it would be impossible to convict someone of any such crime. If people commit certain crimes, there are established penalties for those, but let's not go making up fictional laws just because our leaders have us whipped into a froth.
Yeah, bad old Germany over there. Not altering years of legal precedent to cater to another country's emotional reaction to the term "terrorism". No wonder we're alone...
