I know I'm probably gonna regret this, but I am going to play the Devil's advocate for a moment. The article wasn't very well written, and seemed to leave out a few details. The headline implied that he was being sought for having views that are different than other people. It doesn't say that is the reason he was being sought. For example, Ted Bundy had views that were different than other people, but the headlines didn't say, "man with different views arrested."
This reminds me of the Occupy Wall Street protester who was throwing himself in front of cars to force them to stop, then blocking the street for hours. When he was arrested he claimed it was "just for walking down the street." People don't get arrested for just walking down the street, and people do not get arrested for having "different views".
