WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange arrested in London; Accepts Plea Deal with DOJ, Freed & Returns to Australia

[John Reena]

Media reports he was going on stink and entitled at the embassy

They say he was refusing to clean his bathroom n look after his pet cat. Plus he was attacking guards. Can’t be rude AND stanky.

Setting a bad precedent.

Assange isn't a US citizen and he works for a non-US organization.

This means China can then issue arrest warrants for non-Chinese journalist working for non-Chinese organization if they publish documents they deem harmful to China.

Any country can do so going forward. Extremely short-sighted.

He was indicted for conspiring to hack DoD computers, not for publishing documents.

Is that worse precedent than an alleged rapist hiding out in an embassy of a country he has no ties to for seven years to avoid arrest, extradition, and trial for a rape case after losing all of his appeals via the courts.

Free Chelsea Manning and fukk Julian Assange.

 

[thernbroom]

Are you talking about a rapist as your hero?

He's far from a hero but that rape case was so fraudulent

 

[Pressure]

He's far from a hero but that rape case was so fraudulent

Then he shouldn't have ran like Rae Rae, OJ and Russell

Manning hacked them when he/she was in the military. The only thing Assange did was publish the information Manning provided.

The DoD labeling that as 'conspiring' is a slippery slope. Any foreign government can then label anyone who publishes information it deems harmful to their national security as 'conspiring'. I don't think we should get into that.

Once you have your allies in other parts of the world and the power to politically do anything, its expected the U.S. / U.K. was always out to get this man no matter the means, no matter what....

Well if Assange is innocent, I'm sure the same DOJ that has exonerated Orangeface will clear Assange of any wrongdoing
