Eight members of a German far-right group were sentenced to jail Wednesday on terrorism and attempted murder charges for a series of explosives attacks targeting refugees and anti-fascist activists.
Based in Germany's ex-communist east, the so-called "Freital group" had sought to create "a climate of fear" at the height of Germany's refugee and migrant influx in 2015, the court was told.
Its leaders Timo Schulz and Patrick Festing were sentenced to 10 and nine-and-a-half years prison respectively. The other six received custodial terms of between four and eight-and-a-half years.

I mostly noticed that the worst got 10 years.
That's a good long time to think about the proper ways to be civilized about disagreements, when you haven't killed anyone.
In the US, those people would get life without parole (or death if they had killed anyone), because we love to offer lifetime room-and-board on the taxpayer's dime. Let's put God everywhere, except for that understanding, forgiveness, and rehabilitation part
