George Floyd was murdered and people saw his death as symbolic of a larger issue. His criminal past is largely irrelevant to that.
Rush died peacefully among the people he loved, after spending decades spreading hate, vocally delighting in the deaths and misery of millions, and being a major contributor to the current state of politics in the U.S.
But sure, it's totally the same.
