To be perfectly honest, no, both sides aren't equally bad, the one that burns the book isn't as bad as the one who tries to kill the other over it, at least not for the book burning (they might very well be for other actions they take). But both come from a position of intolerance.
The one that burns the book is overwhelmingly nazi, which is quite possibly the worst thing anyone can possibly be.
That is a nonsense argument. We don't make every action someone does illegal because we don't like that kind of person. We make actions illegal because of the kind of action it is.
Yes, there are issues where both major sides are bad. You don't always have to pick a side and 100% adopt their beliefs.
