Samsara,

You have a little hot thing for a head, seems like. In my opinion theres no difference between the King (as in what he did) versus the maoists (as in what they did). Yes, you are right that King did not kill people like the rebels have done in the last ten years. King also did not save any lives. In this day and age not saving lives, when one is capable of, can surmount to murder. King is guilty of betrayal like the maoists are.
