- AnimalMuppet 9y agoWhich means that Analemma_ overstated the point slightly. But the actual point wasn't whether anybody had that right. The actual point was, Assange does not have that right. He is in self-imposed exile to avoid arrest. The consequences of that are the consequences of his own choices. How you feel about the situation is kind of a litmus test. Either you see Assange as running from a rape charge (and running from it so determinedly that it indicates a high likelihood of guilt), or you see him as running from a determined effort to persecute him by stooges of the evil US government. Whichever one you believe determines how you feel about his inability to leave and get health care. Either you see it as "you made your bed, now lie in it", or you see it as one more aspect of The Man hounding him.
