I think if you talk to most American's they'd like to see Assange arrested and tried. I bet half would like to see him convicted. There is no pressure to have him pardoned. An e-petition is not pressure at all.

#6This is not the first time Sweden has violated human dignity for the sake of helping out the US. One example: https://www.hrw.org/news/2006/11/09/sweden-violated-torture-...

#7If you read all the allegations that his 'victims' brought up, you see that while Assange isn't exactly a gentleman, nothing really bad took place. If Assange wasn't politically active in the way he is, he would get a slap on the wrist and move on with his life. It's pretty terrifying how you have to worry that your own country extradites you to America and this ruins your life even overseas.
EDIT: Before you reply angrily, please read the exact details of the cases. It's more subtle than you think. Just saying "but it's rape!" doesn't cut it here.

#8Someone accused of rape should not be given refuge to wait it out.
Its easy for armchair conspiracists to imagine this whole thing an elaborate ruse to extradite Assange to the US, but Assange was being questioned in Sweden before he fled from there and on bail in the UK prior to 'fleeing' to the Ecuadorian embassy. It seems a very roundabout way for the Americans to get at him.
Occams Razor Assange is fleeing justice and abusing the trusting conspiracists trust in promoting the whole American extradition narrative.
PS: so the downvotes roll in :(
Really, are these girls secretly American agents? And the Americans, rather than use two girl agents that had intimate access to Assange, chose to burn them by asking them to escalate to the Police when Assange wouldn't be treated for STDs?

#9You need a bit more information to see the really funny part.
There is presently a scandal in Sweden regarding how bad the Swedish police and the courts work. The justice system write off cases easily. In many parts of the country, after office hours there are hours of travel for the closest police (if they happen to be free).
Recently it was found that the police doesn't just have the lowest solving percentage in history, they hide that information. And so on.
But in this Assange case, the justice system work hard; it seems they'd follow Assange to the gates of Hell...
(That said -- imho, no part in that circus has any credibility whatsoever.)

Having unprotected sex with someone who is asleep and previously rejected unprotected sex is "nothing really bad"? Or did I miss some newer testimony?
