Terunosuke did what he did mostly to complete a job, just that he was having a little bit of fun while doing it. He's clearly not guilt-free, but that doesn't mean his punishment is fair either.

Justice (assuming we're talking about their ideal forms) do not conern whether or not you're sensitive about something, it only concerns the relative and objective severity of a crime. Terunosuke is for all intends and purposes, a first-offender who while has harmed but hasn't actually killed anybody yet, nor does he by his own action and admission show that he wants to kill, hence he is in his own minor league that's independent to Angelo's. There is no "he touched my sensitive area should he should be punished more" or the opposite "because he didn't touch my sensitive area so he's cool" in justice, because it's just barbaric and nonsensical.

Rohan does mirror Terunosuke, they are practically the same kind of people, the difference is their treatment. Rohan is shown to be amoral and has used his Stand to both harm the people Josuke cares for as well as holding them hostages at some point, just like Terunosuke. The difference between Rohan and Terunosuke? The latter attacked Josuke's mum as well; clearly there is so much difference to warrant a heaven-and-earth difference in pay-back (one got sent to hospital for a couple weeks, while the other got thrown into an eternal prison).

Do you sentence someone to a punishment equivalent to several life imprisonments for the perpetrators' first offence of kidnapping just because the person being kidnapped is your relative? Obviously, it doesn't work like that.

Terunosuke is clearly not on the same level as Angelo, one is just a kid who got too ahead with whatever he's doing (his high is like Rohan's when he first read Koichi's profile) while the other is a serial killer with a proven and blazing record under his belt (I mean, he casually murdered like 20 people, can't remember the actual number, in just a couple days during his very brief return back to the streets of Morioh); it makes no sense to put them on equal terms. Sure, Josuke's method is understandable considering the incident with his grandpa, but it's clearly not justified.

Now don't get me wrong, No one is asking for gary-stu's or mary-sue's nor are there anyone who's saying that Terunosuke is innocent, but it's quite clear that the way how Josuke handled this case was pretty darn savage. Again, understandable? Yes, definitely. Justified? No.
