No one said the other violence and vandalism undertaken by the other 99.9% of people that got violent and destructive that day (both sides) was "as bad" as the murder, or "equivalent" to murder.  It's just a pathetic straw man to suggest anyone said that.  It's intentional misrepresentation of what was said.  

OF COURSE a murder is worse than an assault, or a fight, or vandalism.  One only need to look at the laws and respective sentences to know that.
