I don't have to agree with someone to defend their inalienable human right to free speech. Indeed, if we only defend those whom we agree with, then we are not in fact defenders of free speech at all.
I know that Canada has all kinds of hate speech laws, but the HUMAN right of freedom of speech belongs to all people as a condition of their humanity, and not on account of their citizenship to any given polity.
Three hours ago a video was posted to his YouTube with the following disclaimer:
“Published on Jun 25, 2017
This is the speech I was to give in Canada. The cops read the script and ARRESTED ME FOR HATE SPEECH........watch and decide if this is hate speech.”
The above video is slam full of anti Islam rhetoric, but as mentioned above, I don't have to be an Islamophobe to defend the man's human right to free speech.
His primary website is now down...

The HQ for his webhost plesk.com is in Toronto, so that explains his website being down.
So far the most updated source for this story is here:

He has been released from Canadian custody and is back in Florida now, but his laptop and tablet have been seized for forensic evidence pending prosecution.
Word has it that Wayne Dupree will be providing an update on this story at some point today.
Most of us here on RPFs will disagree with much of what Wild Bill is passionate about (ie the “sheer unadulterated evil of all Muslims”) although a few on RPFs have seemed to embraced that rhetoric, nevertheless I think we can all agree that arrest and prosecution for the speech in the above linked speech in the YouTube video is absurd and insane. At some point in the past, the US would have enforces sanctions against a nation that did such things.
