Yes, and while that is terrible it is a completely separate issue not related to the Unabomber. Unless the point you are trying to make is, that we should have let a convicted terrorist go until he killed at least as many people as the US police.
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.
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.
