Point taken, my gripe is only that I see it as germany, trying to take advantage of a situation, they caused in the first place, to get similiar results, that they tried to to get earlier.
To me, if you did something wrong, and you know it was wrong, and a situation arises later on, that you helped create, you should not now make rules that benefit you from prior bad acts.
The question here is basically time, as in how much time, or how little, which is a big question, I made a joke about the whole thing in post #100.
In some sense, I see this is as Germany trying to do the political opposite (in spirit) of what the "son of sam" law does .
