Craig Sawyers Posted May 16, 2021 Report Posted May 16, 2021 2,000 miles is a hell of a trip to storm the Capitol. And, as Voltron says - why Montana?
Dusty Chalk Posted May 19, 2021 Report Posted May 19, 2021 Easiest to arrest? I don't know, I'm not surprised by Virginia, Maryland, and so on, 'cause they probably just drove, but Montana's too far not to fly? I don't know, just a theory.
blessingx Posted May 19, 2021 Report Posted May 19, 2021 I never realized Montana's western state line kinda looks like Nixon. 1

Knuckledragger Posted June 12, 2021 Author Report Posted June 12, 2021 This post contains a number of references to specific HCers. Just two blokes out for a stroll. Nothing to see here. The largest pizza one can order in the US. Split Apple Rock, New Zealand. Bogans defending their territory from a drone attack, 2020, colorized. Never have I felt so personally attacked. Douglas DC-3 of BOAC at Gibraltar, silhouetted by searchlights on the Rock, WWII.

Craig Sawyers Posted June 18, 2021 Report Posted June 18, 2021 One of the reasons that Assange holed up in the Ecuador embassy in London was he was facing charges for rape in Sweden. And of course extradition to the USA. Although rape is an awful crime, there was something about the Swedish case that did not quite sound right, and if one was cynical it was all part of an extradition attempt. In due course, the rape charge was dropped because the case against him, according to the Swedish prosecutor, was "weak". There is a continuing attempt to extradite him, which keeps being blocked by UK courts. He is currently being held in Belmarsh prison without bail (on remand, before trial), because he is a flight risk. He is in prison because he breached the terms of his original bail, and holed up in the Ecuador embassy. Mexico has offered him asylum. The whole Assange thing is very strange, and in spite of Chelsea Manning's sentence being commuted by Obama, her legal position is still fragile.
