It would probably be more useful to throw rocks at the windows, maybe Julian would be able to squeeze through the hole and get away.

Imagine having the guts to speak out like he did, and still does, knowing that it could end your life, either physically or by lifelong imprisonment, and yet you love the truth and freedom, and therefore people & their rights so much, that you do it anyway. He gave up his freedom for all of ours.
    He is not a criminal, those that seek to shut him up & cover up their lies and murder are the criminals.
    They want him dead or permanently imprisoned but the murderers he exposed walk free to re-commit their crimes again and again.

The courts seem to have their own justice system certainly not based off of circumstantial evidence but solely & mostly due to influence & motives biased to one side or the other! We have to preserve integrity & liberty throughout the judicial system to ensure our freedoms are not taken lightly or for granted!

      A PERSON is a DEAD entity that im-PERSON-ates the living Soul - and has stolen
      the identity - using a name that sounds the same - except - that it is written in
      ALL CAPS - as are the names of the other DEAD entities in the cemetery.
      NO one is born a PERSON
      One is born either a Man or WoMan ( two kinds of Man) collectively known as ManKind
      They are given "One Soul" Thus they are some'One'
      Some 'body' refers to a DEAD entity in the cemetery - That is where every'body' is
      sent to and commonly buried along with all the other bodies.
      You should have learned that by now - had you been paying attention to detail.
      Unfortunately the CORPORATE GOVERNMENT indoctrination system they call Schools -
      has created a population of ZOMBIES

If you are an American citizen living in America, just wait until China is at the helm - they give new meaning to your notion of 'abuse of power' - you ain't seen abuse until you're under China's rule. Think I'm kidding? Is your answer "no" or "no"? Personally, I am grateful to have been born in America and to be living here.

      Do you also know Assange personally? If not, why do you call him by his first name, like you've met him? Odd.

      I pray the Assange family sues the American Government I am certain any honest judge and jury would rule in there favor.

    Assange should be freed with a public apology for a start. He is a brave strong man and a high spiritual being. Free Julian. He deserves a medal for what he's done. Those that put him there should be ashamed of themselves. The truth is out and nothing will change that. The truth always comes out in the end. The end of darkness is nigh.

      Liberals loved Julian... until he published the material that revealed the corruption and criminality of H. Clinton... After that they collectively turned against him... That tells you about the hypocrisy of American liberals...

      a lot of politicians are first and foremost worried for their own future electability... if you "turn on your own government" (allegedly) like Assange and others did/do then you can pretty much kiss your politicians career good bye.. decency is a flaw in politician.
