I think the point is that he's a "symbol" of domestic terror in a way that is disproportionate to his crimes and importance due to being pretty isolated, while death squads and terrorist organizations that act as extensions of the state are not regarded with the negativity they really merit.
It's not a great comparison, but there's not nothing there.
Yeah it's that. He's being made into some icon of evil (i even heard that every now and then in Poland!) and he's a pretty small deal even compared to dozens of mass shooters which goes basically unnoticed and completely normalised. Not to mention to the "land of the free" ruling class enforcers.
