The whole World should understand that if the maniacs in the u.s get they,re own way & have Julian Assange extradited this will be the end of free speech,Because if anyone dares to report the dispicable crimes being carried out all over the World by the"Peaceful americans" they,ll suffer the same fate as Assange.They want to shut him up,Ask yourselfs why; If they have nothing to hide why are they so determened to get they,re hands on this guy?The people who should be in jail are u.s politicians.

In the US a man got 40 months of prison for stealing 3 billion $. A black homeless man got 15 years prison for stealing 100$. The worst thing is that the black turned himself in the next day saying he needed to money to eat but that wasn't the way his mother raised him. He got convicted for theft in the 1st degree. Sad but true.

dont forget about the fact that a black man like Kobe will lose his Nike sponsorships after being found Not Guilty of Rape, while Nike will stick behind a cheater like Lance Armstrong because he is a white guy.

So you've been the Mafia backed Teamsters Bitch for years then? LOL

Well actually if you did your research you would find they Argies used a whole range of small arms with the FN being one of them! With America supplying the ammo for the M16's certain Argy military units used! And the better rifle from the period was the British SLR more acurate and more reliable than either.. I know I used them when serving in the British Army.

[TheRetiredtrucker]

Sorry, they used FN's (or FM FAL made in Argentina, not Belgium) not M16's. Do a lil research bitch lol. I owned a FN L1A1 years ago, nice rifle, but jams a bit when dirty, have to keep adjusting that gas regulator on the fore stock, AK is a better rifle IMO

I'm interested in your Youtube name....theretiredtrucker! I take it you were a truck driver in the States?

[MagicKirin]

Ratner you are so full of it. You claim Sweden is working for us than you say the U.S would have to wait..

Assange is a cowardly rapist who made full use of the Appeal process and decided he was above the law.

Assange deserves to be prosecuted and death is too good for him

[TheRetiredtrucker]

Nope, too busy out making money
