Plenty of liberals and mainstream journalists are inexplicably cheering for Assange to be punished.

Hacking is illegal
Julian Assange, a self proclaimed hacker, knows this after pleading guilty to 25 counts of hacking.
Assange knew the consequences of what he did, yet he did it again.
He just wasted seven years of his life hiding away in a room thinking he could avoid the consequences of his actions and now how much longer is he going to spend in jail? Who knows but one thing is for sure Julian Assange is not a journalist.
