One man cannot fight a multinational prosecution with the flick of his finger. Hiding is the appropriate behavior here.
What would you do if multiple governments -- especially the most corrupt governments and the most corrupt parts of governments -- thought you were their worst nightmare?
What does this have to do with justice? Are you suggesting that if you are an enemy of the state, you should not have to go through the Justice system? I'm not sure exactly what you're proposing.
Justice is about what is right, not about enemies. If fake evidence is involved, is the subject an enemy of the state, or an enemy of corruption within it?
I'm saying something pretty basic. I'm saying you can't blame the courts for treating you badly, if you refuse to show up.
You can if you were legitimately hiding from corruption. Regardless courts only judge and act on people in courtrooms.
All of his complaints against the US government are hypothetical based upon actions it might take in the future, but actually hasn't. Same goes for Snowden.
You disregard our hundreds of years of prior systemised injustice, the political prisoners in our prisons, all the recent corruption news that has come out regarding the various branches, including rampant misuse of surveillance technology?
Chelsea Manning is the only one who actually went through the Justice process for her leaking government cables, and she served 7 years in prison, and then was a free woman. We can debate whether or not seven was the right number, and whether she was treated appropriately during those seven, but it wasn't exactly multiple life sentences or execution or rotting in prison, or any of that.
Supporters worked incredibly hard to push for such things, and the same is not true of most such prisoners. The few surviving members of MOVE, the nonviolent group whose home was bombed by law enforcement in 1985, were only released a couple years ago.
It's entirely possible that Snowden and Assange might be free to go by now had they actually shown up to court, and instead have been hiding out over nothing. None of the time Assange is spending in self-isolation will count towards a prison sentence when he eventually goes to jail, because hiding from the law isn't part of the justice system.
The people who take your gamble accomplish less than these people have.
I'm not sure how someone can celebrate their behavior and simultaneously support the rule of law.
This thread is about the evidence having been falsified, David. That is not legal.
