re: #23 SanFranciscoZionist

So we have a report of an episode in which both physical force and deceit were used to gain sex without a condom, and that’s illegal under Swedish law…so Sweden would like to speak to Mr. Assange. I’m failing to see a problem here.

There was force, but when she told him he had had to put on a condom he did, she then thinks he ripped the condom. In her statement she didn’t accuse him of rape through violence, she accused him of ripping the condom thus breaching the agreement under which she agreed to have sex with him. There’s also no indication from the her statement that she objected to being held and that he wouldn’t let her go. As I wrote, according to her, when she told him to put on a condom, he did.

It’s not illegal to gain sex without a condom, there no such Swedish law. The issue here is consent. She agreed to have sex if he wore a condom. Same goes with him having sex with the other woman while she was sleeping. Consent.

And don’t give me this bullcrap about how they should speak to him by videophone in London…he’s already trying to get away from them, and you know perfectly well that if they interview him and then formally charge him, his supporters will still be sniveling that a hero of the people is allowed to break a few dumb laws.

Actually, he was in Sweden for a while before travelling to the UK, he asked to be questioned, but they weren’t interested until he had left. He’s not a Swedish citizen, so I’m not sure it would come as a surprise to them that he left country after a while. But until he left, he was at their disposal.

Frankly, if the moron manages to exile himself to Ecuador for life, he will have it coming. I’m sure that holding girls down and pretending to use condoms to get them to shut up isn’t even considered ‘bad sexual etiquette’ in Ecuador, just a night out on the town.

Doesn’t seem that you have a very objective view of Assange, does it…
