Russia just so happens not to extradite people to the US.

Assange has always been a bit of a dick, but sometimes being a good journalist requires people to be dicks.

At the same time, some people are Piers Morgan.

I don't think Assange is Piers Morgan. I think Piers Morgan far more deserves what Assange has experienced so far, let alone whatever may face him in future.

I mean, we could probably get to consensus around Piers Morgan...

You say that, but he still features on channel 7 (in the first page of the TV guide) on UK TV.

I will not shed a tear on the day he dies. I will just say: "FINALLY!!"

Objectively, the world will be better off. The people closest to him will be better off. He is the worst kind of leech.

If he was to be incarcerated, his net worth should be used to finance the rehabilitation of other, more reputable prisoners. Eg paedophiles.
