So Let Me Get This Straight !!! - Re: Julian Assange

211. Easy. He leaks a bunch of documents. Unlike Ellsberg, no one is prosecuting him for it

Then his head gets really big as many people start pretending he's a hero. He thinks he can do anything he wants. Then he goes too far with a couple of women, who, it turns out, aren't thinking he's so great that they'll put up with anything from him. He gets entangled in a legal proceedings. Rather than facing up to it, he leaves the country and gets into an extradition proceeding in the new country.

He starts claiming potential persecution from the United States, a country he's never been to, and which has made no moves to even prosecute him for anything and whose law provides no basis for prosecuting him. But he starts playing the martyr and his followers blindly believe him. By now, they can't believe he would do anything wrong sexually. So it has to be persecution, since their hero would do no wrong. Perhaps some of them think it would be so great to sleep with him that they can't believe some who actually did had a problem with some of his shenanigans.

However, if he were sane, he would simply go to Sweden and clear it all up. There's no excuse. If the US wanted him, he'd be in the US already. That's so blatant you have to be one of his most dedicated followers to fail to see that.
