But we must not forget that N. Korea is responsible for this.
SoS John Kerry could have asked the Clinton Global Foundation to purchase the release of this American citizen.
I agree, the loss is terrible.
But now I suppose the Norks are going to eat him ?
Poor Kid
I’m tired of getting punked by Iran, China, and N. Korea. Its happened a number of times dating back to the GW Bush administration. We always take our licks and move right along.
Only 22, and what a terrible last 18 months of his life. Do not let your child go to nations ruled by crazy leaders.
Geee. Who didn’t see this coming?
Grisly as it is, his body is yielding a treasure trove of how the Nokos torture and destroy enemies. “Missing brain tissue”?
That said, any American who travels to North Korea on non-governmental business is crazy.
Thank you Pres Trump for getting him home. Prayers for his parents. Sad that the last president (spit on his name...obama) did not try or try harder to get this young man home as he might have made it.
RIP Otto and my the eternal light shine upon you.
NK must understand that there is going to be a price to be paid for this...a very steep one.
Sad for the family? Of course. tragedy that this young life is lost? Certainly. But I have to stop there when you say North Korea caused this. This young man’s cavalier attitude towards a VIOLENT communist country caused this. He was responsible for his choice, he went into a country where he should never have been, thinking that he was, I guess, someone special. All these American kids et al think that they’re not going to get touched elsewhere in the world ‘cuz they’re Americans I guess.This is the real world that we live in and unfortunately youth are being indoctrinated Not educated so they do not realize that when people say ‘don’t go” to certain places they mean don’t go to certain places!! I will reserve my sympathies and my outrage for the military lives that are lost going into these countries sometimes to pull these ppl out. I would also prefer if my tax dollars didn’t go to private citizens being rescued but rather our military being supported.
Poor kid. This is the 4th time he’s died.
Oh my goodness, nooooo. What a shame. NK has blood on their hands. I feel so bad for the family, all those months without him and then he comes home and they have him for such a short while, how heart breaking for the family. That little rat bleep needs to get the same treatment.
I agree, and it’s time to charge that regime with the murder of a US citizen. Take it before the UN.
Going to North Korea was an astonishingly bad idea in the first place.
I’m sorry but not surprised that it turned out this way.
At least they had him home, counts for a lot.
At least they had him home, counts for a lot.
That bastard Obama was too busy getting criminals released from jails in this country to get this kid released from the NORKs. Obama is a pig.
