Assange Rape Case Reopened

eldavojohn writes "Wikileaks' Julian Assange had a warrant issued for his arrest in Sweden on the charges of rape. But it was withdrawn shortly thereafter. Now the case has been reopened to investigate 'molestation charges.' On top of that, a new site (parody?) called wikileakileaks.org has been launched by the chief editor of Gawker to give Wikileaks a taste of its own medicine. You can find links to details on the molestation charges there."

    Now the case has been reopened to investigate 'molestation charges.'

    The case will then be dropped.

    It will then be reopened to investigate 'looking at boobs, whilst pulling out his shirt collar and making a phwooar face', which will also be dropped.

    Don't worry, they'll get him even if they have to resort to the testimony of a girl who was pushed over by him in the playground when they were both 4 years old.

      Heh, I RTFA (how apt an acronym) and:

      1) I had a really hard time believing the whole thing wasn't a joke...

      2) But if those really are the turn of events, they only seem to support Assange's "dirty tricks" assertion. But as a slashdot reader, I'm not particularly familiar with the whole one-night-stand culture and social conventions. And apparently Assange isn't either?

      3) But above all else -- if all I have to do is embarass the US military in order to get women like Anna Ardin (job title: "Forskningsassistent" ) to come play "dirty tricks" on me, WHERE DO I SIGN UP?!

    Note that "molestation" is a broad category of sexual offenses in Sweden. Two women came forward to the police to report sexual misconduct, but denied that rape had occurred. Thus the dropping of the rape charge. In reality, the offense is that Assange alleged seduced the women, got them to buy stuff or him, and then he refused to call them back. In America, this behavior is par for the course. Apparently, in other cultures, this is a sexual offense.

      Assange may as well have worn a neon dress and high heels.

      Well, with that hair, he really should be going more for pastels.

      Ah yes, paying for healthcare is stealing, but spending money on military is fine. You guys are really weird sometimes.

      Seems to me the US military has done more to extend the lives of US citizens than public-funded medicine ever has or will.

      If you want to drop our military spending to some sort of "average" or "normal" level consistent with that of other countries, I think you'll find that we'll end up with an "average" or "normal" military in terms of capabilities.

      If, instead, you're arguing for everyone to buy into their own private military as opposed to having a publicly funded one, you're dumber than a Democrat.

    The Daily Mail is perfectly trustworthy. You're just upset because they're telling the truth about the black gay Muslims who are ruining good, honest, hard-working, British society with their evil immigrant ways that killed Princess Diana (peace be upon her).

    Amusingly, you will see their figure for the number of street cameras in Britain, which was created by counting the number of, mainly private, CCTV cameras in a mile busy shopping street in London and multiplying it by the number of miles of roadway in Britain, quoted here quite often. In spite of having been debunked, this is still used by a lot of Slashdot posters as evidence that Britain is an Orwellian surveillance state.
