Different people express their emotions in different ways. Im sorry for you that you expect people to behave in a typical way. Maybe he does cry in private, maybe he is on antidepressants and can't get himself to cry, it's his business how he expresses his emotions nonetheless and it should be our last concern here.

What should be a concern is his trial and whistle-blowers in general. Whistle-blowers are now reluctant to expose wrong doings because they are prosecuted and hounded even if they meant good. With Assange it’s more complicated but why is he on a trial in the UK?

Also leaks that prove horrible things show the world how thuggish our leaders and influential people are and yet nothing happens to them, they're not even ashamed when caught red-handed. Panama papers? Nobody got indicted!

Why do we care care about punishing Assange while leaving the real criminals free? The ones who steal our children’s futures? I expect nobody reading this is a thuggish politician whose future progeny may actually benefit from their begavior

Do you seriously believe that or that it matters?

Or are you just giving an example of ridiculous statement one might use against his opponent to vilify him in attempted character assassination?

Is it mandatory? Mothers can be abusive.
