According to the US law, before anyone is convicted, he/she is NOT a criminal.

People petition for Wu's release because they don't think he is a criminal or
has committed any crime.  Would that be a good reason to petition, according to
your measurements? Apparently you think Wu has committed a crime.  Could it be
possible that other peopl just disagree with you on this question of whether he
has committed a crime?  Why, according to you, is it the only possibility that
people who petition are out of their mind or are hateful of the Chinese people
and country?  Why is it that when people disagree with you, they are either
idiots or hate-mongers?

Why don't you try to prove that Wu is a criminal or has committed the crime of
which he is accused?  Do you find it impossible given that you don't know
that much about the case, evidence or the law?  Then why do you demand other
people to shoulder the burden of proof?
