Yes, that one.
And his arrest was for a youtube video.
Eitherway, as long as he did not target a specific individual, then he should not have been arrested.
Freedom of speech is not only the things you like, but everything including even the most hateful and detestable speech and opinions there are.
If you start taking it based on what you like or dislike, then it is only a matter of time before someone takes yours as they don't like what you say.
Yet, for some reason, this seems hard to understand for many people, as if the countless examples of these policies backfiring every time they were implemented including to this very day are somehow still unconvincing.
You seem to think that what he said will somehow lead me to support his arrest and insinuating that how could I possibly support freedom of speech even for that type of guys.
I support absolute freedom of speech for everyone, and since he did not attack or harass a specific individual, then he's in his whole right to say whatever he wants irregardless of how racist or repugnant it might be.
If you don't like what he says, there is an 'x' button on the top right of the page which you can use to stop listening or reading what he says and writes.
To make the case very clear because I know you guys are trying to go there;
Even Nazis, literal Nazis, have the right to be Nazis under the freedom of speech, freedom of belief, and freedom of association.
As long as they don't pass over the rights, freedoms, and liberties of others, neither you nor I nor anyone has the right to harm them or stop them from practicing their freedoms.
If you don't like what they're saying, don't listen to them; If you want to counter their ideas, you debate them in the free market of ideas, you do not silence them or jail them or punish them as you'll simply drive them under ground and start a time bomb until someone like Trump comes along and blows the led off and burns the entire system.
Just like you don't like their ideas, they don't like yours, and if you support jailing and silencing your political opponents by force, then don't complain when the tide turns and they do the same to you.
When you take the rights of even one person, you might have as well taken the rights of all people.
