He jumped bail before, screwing over the supporters who put up his bail. He worked deliberately to tank Hillary Clinton's campaign. And don't forget he said he'd agree to extradition if Chelsea Manning was granted clemency, which he blatantly reneged on.
I think the fact that people just don't like him, justifiably, makes it easy to not care about his case, even though most people can at least agree the legal precedents that may be set are very important.
Blatant attempts to frame one of the heroes of our times are just that, attempts. As if intelligent people would suddenly favor emotions over rational thought, because some troll with an agenda voices his irrational contempt.

You're quite genuine in acknowledging that the devotion to Hillary Clinton exceeds the commitment to human rights and freedom of information.
I'm acknowledging that people don't often stick up for people they dislike. Is that a controversial or surprising assertion?
Not surprising, but rather candid when we're talking about the "legal system" and basic human rights.
`bootlooped` -> `bootlicked`
Standards of care matter even for dislikable people, you could argue they matter even more for them.
