Offending someone is a punishable offence in most Western penal codes. Show a car driver the middle finger, call someone "Blöde Kuh" or worse, and if you get sued and the incident gets confirmed, you pay.

Offending someone this way is meant to hurt him. What the guy in the article did, did hurt people, and much more than in case of "ordinary everyday-offendings". So he pays a price for that whioch also is higher - not money, but loss of freedom for some weeks.

I have no problem with this sentencing.
