Swedish Court Orders Detention of Wikileaks Founder Assange

An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is likely to be detained for questioning over his alleged connection to a rape case. The Director of Prosecution, Marianne Ny, has requested the District Court of Stockholm to detain Assange, claiming that they have not been able to meet with him to accomplish the interrogations. 'I request the district court of Stockholm to detain Mr Assange in his absence, suspected of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion,' Ny said in a statement."

If NFL stars can kill dogs and rape women and still have amazing fanbases, why can't some dude in a foreign country release information to the public about their governments and rape and molest some women and still have people standing up for him?

They should have planted kiddie porn on his computer instead. That would have silenced him in the eyes of the US public for sure.

Obviously guilty

Although IANAL, IMHO Mr. Assange has demonstrated by his actions that he is the kind of slimy piece of Sh!!te that would place the lives of hundreds, or even thousands of dedicated service men and women at risk to to prove what a clever little pr!ck he can be. It takes no stretch of the imagination at all to believe that a person of his arrogance and sociopathic lack of conscience would coerce a woman into sex and think he was doing her a favor. Hopefully the muslims in prison will treat him as one of their "virgin rewards" and do to him what he has done to society.
