I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don't wanna see him live another day, why is that?

He's a traitor to the USA. Do you need anymore reason on Internet to be hated?

Not an American, nor was he living in America at the time. I fail to see how "foreign citizen acts in ways contrary to my country's best interests" equals "treason".

Now you understand what imperialism is or why they also hate Russian and chinese too.

Read into what is known and what he is accused of, and decide for yourself whether he is a traitor or whistleblower. While it won’t change anything for him, you don’t have to agree with the government’s position

I fully support him, but here I answer the thread question.
