Compassionate Hero or Zealous Terrorist?

If Jonathan Paul was not guilty of a part in any of the terrorist activities being investigated by the federal grand jury, then why would he refuse to cooperate with the investigators?

Does Paul believe, as do many of his extremist constituents, that their right to free speech fully empowers them to burglarize, steal and destroy property that rightfully belongs to others?

I am a hunter and a fisherman. I eat meat. I have freely chosen to do this and I do not expect everyone to be in agreement with what I do. I do not preach to anyone that my way is the only right way.

Paul and his friends should be allowed to speak their minds and enjoy the wonderful benefits of living in this great country of ours, but perhaps they should be reminded that the right to free speech is not a license for destruction.
