he's not really treated different from other people accused of rape or
sexual harassment in sweden. bear in mind that swedish society frowns on
these crimes a lot, and that the victory it is for women to be respected by
men should not be disintegrated because of fanboyism.

it is perfectly possible that julian assange has many positive qualities,
and many negative qualities at the same time. supremacy in one field does
not imply supremacy in all fields.

he's not though. they don't care so much about that. a much bigger problem
for the americans is that these documents leak in the first. it shows that
the american administration is disloyal to the state, which usually means
the state is doing something wrong that they are trying to finish. in this
probably the afghanistan and iraqi wars.

see, the us doesn't want to take responsiblity for those wars. but they have
a duty to send their young men to die, whether they know the True Reason for
it or not. you don't create a quagmire of misery and despair and leave it
because you're a wuss.

well, he is actually guilty of not showing up for the court hearing. his
swedish lawyer warned him gravely about that, especially considering the
gravity of these crimes in sweden. whether his guilty of rape or sexual
harassment is yet to be seen, but defying the court he's definitely done.

absolutely nothing. he's not in a lot of danger, but he is an attention
whore and likes fanboys. note fanBOYS. he is not surrounded by admiring
girls that he works with. he likes it when you say that girls are all
hookers.

also, he can protect himself. he's quite capable of getting into media and
as long as he's a public person they can do nothing.
