Why do people support Assange. I mean the guy is clearly and ego-maniac masquerading as a social activist. His conduct in the embassy and toward his host country was abysmal by all accounts. Manning served her time honorably (I would say she shouldn't have served any time) but the coward Assange hid in an embassy costing a middle-income, struggling country 7 million to accommodate him. New info is coming to light that says that he tried to black mail the president of the country that paid the 7 million for him to go on a 7 year vacation in the embassy with free internet access and having bro parties every 4 weeks.
