Julian Assange is not a US citizen and the crimes he is accused of did not happen on US soil. The US should not be the world police. Why are we trying to prosecute him?

Because we’re the world police.

And the police should free him.

Agreed. If you're not a citizen of a country and are not living in that country, why should you follow that countries laws and be obligated to keep that countrie's secrets? That would be like prosecuting the journalists who published the Snowden documents in the UK. They never had anything to do with your laws, USA, so kindly fuck off, will ya?

Free Edward Snowden. Much easier guy to support

Assange is not that guy the media made him look like. He was pictured like this by the media so people wouldn't be so upset once they catch him.
