Someone needs to tell Stella Assange.... calguy Feb 2024 #1

Exactly. He is no journalist, he is just a hacker who has been skirting JohnSJ Feb 2024 #3

Why do you consider justaprogressive Feb 2024 #5

Avoiding prosecution is not punishment for the accused crimes calguy Feb 2024 #6

He's not a hacker justaprogressive Feb 2024 #7

His entire Wikileaks was a hacking operation. calguy Feb 2024 #9

Why should Assange be allowed to blatantly flaunt the UK's bail laws? Emrys Feb 2024 #19

Yes..intersting you bring that up justaprogressive Feb 2024 #22

WRONG, says you. FALSE, says you. Emrys Feb 2024 #30

Right says you True says you justaprogressive Feb 2024 #48

You have nothing, so you're resorting to neenerneenerneener. Pathetic. Emrys Feb 2024 #51

uh-huh following from the outside justaprogressive Feb 2024 #53

Assange is clearly on record as bragging. See above. Emrys Feb 2024 #54

I'd think the corollary is true as well. Torchlight Feb 2024 #24

I consider it a good start. BannonsLiver Feb 2024 #34

Really? justaprogressive Feb 2024 #4

Lock him up..... comradebillyboy Feb 2024 #2

has been locked up for years justaprogressive Feb 2024 #8

He needs to be extradicted, tried in a US court and if, convicted, MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #10

Neither he, nor our country justaprogressive Feb 2024 #12

One failed attempt is one too many, MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #21

sigh. As I prvsly stated justaprogressive Feb 2024 #23

Utter B.S. Why do you seem to think you can type just anything? Emrys Feb 2024 #35

Utter bullshit, MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #43

He hid in the Ecuadorian embassy for years while failing to observe his bail conditions. Emrys Feb 2024 #20

Do you have any idea justaprogressive Feb 2024 #25

I do. Emrys Feb 2024 #31

Julian requested and was granted political asylum by the country of Ecuador. justaprogressive Feb 2024 #32

And in April 2019, Ecuador rescinded Assange's asylum and revoked his Ecuadoran citizenship. Emrys Feb 2024 #33

Payoff. justaprogressive Feb 2024 #36

The revoking and rescindment are facts. Emrys Feb 2024 #37

And they rescinded it, which is Ecuador's absolute right to do so, MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2024 #44

not exactly justaprogressive Feb 2024 #45

Oh jeez... that's not true... LeftInTX Feb 2024 #58

Assange is an Australian citizen. He's not a political refugee. He's not being persecuted. He's being prosecuted. LeftInTX Feb 2024 #65

Hopefully once he leaves prison, NorseSaxonCelt Feb 2024 #66

This asshole broke the law and needs to face justice LetMyPeopleVote Feb 2024 #40

If he just faced his rape charge many years ago he would be in AU right now. joshcryer Feb 2024 #41

You mean the FAKE justaprogressive Feb 2024 #47

How the fuck dare you dismiss allegations of rape as "FAKE"? Emrys Feb 2024 #52

I didn't dismiss them justaprogressive Feb 2024 #55

Calling them "FAKE" is absolutely dismissing them, and is disgraceful. Emrys Feb 2024 #56
