Probably in a body bag at that point.

There's no way the ruling class lets Assange even step a foot out of the embassy without immediately taking him into custody.

a mass protest could cause enough distraction, but that would take a lot of organizing, and we all know how good the left is at organizing.

Please keep unsubstantive comments and political flamebait off HN.

Dang this is for you since I can't reply directly.

There is substance to what they said- mass protest can create distraction.

And saying that left is good at organizing is no kind of flamebait.

Can you clarify what you're talking about?

Taking right-vs.-left potshots in a throwaway remark is just way too low quality to meet the bar here.

The GP comment "probably in a body bag" was almost as bad. We're trying for more thoughtful comments here.

It's just the truth. A lot of people/governments/entities want him dead. It wasn't meant to incite any kind of violence, just pointing out that he's a major target.

Wait what was the potshot here? Was it the tone? "We all know"? Maybe but only very little. If you're going to get this triggered over smallest things than why not ban political topics altogether?
