Every crime no matter the severity should be handled to the letter of the law. Do not excuse one crime because you feel others have done worse.
But in most cases, almost all of them, on the left, they aren't. The far-right groups don't need to escalate. They already commit murder for ideological reasons and it's documented and not really disputed.
It's not a "chance" comparison. They either have a historical record of murder or they don't. People aren't charged for what their committed crimes could potentially amount to before they are committed. That would require a clairvoyant judge and jury. There's a chance that anyone could commit any crime by virtue of simply existing.
The letter of the law punishes murder more harshly than assault or vandalism, so I don't really see what this issue would be in viewing killing people as more violent and dangerous than other violent crimes. You can punish people for both within the boundaries of existing laws without "feeling" any kind of way about it at all.
