You can't have an individual unilaterally deciding whether they will obey the law or not, or civilization as we know it would break down. It's true there are concerns over the US judiciary(in recent days we've had Nancy Pelosi accusing the country's chief lawyer, the United States Attorney General William Barr of lying to Congress), we've had the miscarriages of justice involving IRA prisoners in the 1970s and 1980s and many other cases, but Assange should be extradited to Sweden to answer these rape charges.
I don't like your tone towards me gringo in recent posts and if you commit personal attacks on me again I will ask Mike to ban you. Failing that I'm leaving myself.
There are not and never have been any rape charges. Assange has never been charged with rape and my pointing out your lack of knowledge on the issues at hand is legitimate debate. Crying about the tone that I am, in your view, taking towards you is pathetic. I have asked you questions and you have shown that you know very little about the case.
So far you have diverted the issue with asides about Litvinenko, Salisbury and now IRA miscarriages from the 70's, Nancy Pelosi and the US AG allegedly lying to congress. Nothing to do with Assange's charges and extradition.
If you don't like my tone then ignore me. Making threats about telling tales and asking for members who you disagree with to be banned is childish and doesn't reflect well on you. Grow up.
Your failure to address the Espionage Act charges and what the implications of these charges mean for journalists worldwide shows your lack of understanding of what is going on. The secret Grand Jury wasn't a conspiracy dreamed up by "rape apologists". You should be troubled by the persecution of Assange. That you aren't demonstrates that either you are poorly read and informed or an apologist for war mongers and criminals.
Would you also be ok with extraditing him to Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran or any country anywhere? just because he had published leaked documents of any of those governments. If those countries were now threatening charges carrying possible death or 175 year sentences despite the charged person not being a citizen of the country, would you still support extradition?
You would call out Russia et al. if they were attempting to extradite Assange for publishing secrets about their war crimes. You need to apply the same standards to your own government and those of our allies. The UK and US governments have scored a massive own goal with their behaviour and stomped on international law and Vienna Conventions in their thuggish behaviour. You should be ashamed to be still defending their actions.
