Do this instead: sell those works, or maybe half of them, and give the money to Genocide Joe to bribe him to pardon Assange. Hell, if he lives long enough to see Trump elected, it would probably only cost half of that.
Can’t he sell the painting and then spend 45milion on a lobbying and awareness advertising campaign? That might help more
I don’t think $45 million would get you much attention, SuckMyWang, but destroying “priceless” art definitely would. And has.
It’s like what that famous old cathedral burned down? Rich fucks love all that old western canon shit
As long as the US has the Hague invasion act along with some of the most inhumane sentences and prisons no country should extradite a non US citizen there. I’m pretty sure the only crime he committed was in Sweden anyways so they should have him.
Well… bye.
Seems kinda pointless, I don’t think anyone involved in deciding whether or not Assange dies in prison would change anything due to this.
I wonder if they might now get involved, though. This is the kind of thing that makes it to the cocktail party circuit chatter.
But like really, would anyone pardon a crime because they were being blackmailed with the destruction of art? Would a parole judge really take that into consideration? Seems more likely to me it would make them less likely to help Assange for fear that it looks like the threat worked, but most likely of all they would just continue based on the law and ignore this guy.
