Should orders of people purveying such "freedom" be obeyed? You tell me.. a gang of thugs mugs and rapes one of your friends or family members and the city coucil decides to take action to apprehend and charge them. But you have some neighbor across the street who starts protesting and advocating that no one has the right to arrest these gang members, and actually seem intent on forming his own gang to prevent the apprehension of the criminals and actually providing moral and possibly financial or logistical support to the perpetrators.. Do we have the right to prevent such assistance from being rendered to criminals? Does that not make them an accessory, after the fact, to the criminal behavior they apparently condone? Maybe an awkward analogy, but in war conscientious objection is one thing, but actively attempting to undermine the war effort and possibly lending aid and support to the enemy is quite the other. From your perspective, everyone should have the right not only to speak out against the war, but it would logically follow they have the right to finance and shelter the enemy as well because they are acting on their "conscience".
