      He wasn’t convicted because he fled and hid out in an embassy. Then he burned his bridges there by being an obnoxious piece of shit and they handed him over to the British. Everything bad that’s happened to Assange is his own fault. If anything he got off easy, never faced any consequences for the 3 women he raped.

          He’s a rapist who fled justice like a coward. I dont really give a shit what happens to him now. I’ll save my sympathy for Snowden and Manning, who never raped anyone.

                  Then what’s your story for how three different women with no connection to each other all ended filing police reports accusing him of rape? Also, who flees charges they’re not guilty of?
