The FBI has reached a settlement with an environmental activist wrongly jailed for committing arson attacks against SUV dealerships in California’s San Gabriel Valley. Josh Connole spent four nights in jail for the attacks, which destroyed over 125 vehicles. He’ll receive $100,000 dollars in compensation. Connole told the Associated Press Monday he hopes his victory will show that “you can’t throw people’s civil rights out the window in the name of fighting terrorism.”
