There are those on the right who criticize him too. In this instance, I bet there will be a bunch of it. Too bad because the victim made two bad choices and it cost him his life. Number one bad choice was to take a side trip to North Korea. The second was to steel the propaganda poster in the hotel. He was just a kid and did a stupid kid thing. Nobody teaches situational awareness anymore. When I was a kid traveling to foreign lands, my father drilled it into me.
I agree. My Dad did the same with me.
And just think, it came in handy for us in Nam. Lol
Nobody wants to talk about those points: The person to blame first and foremost is Otto Warmbier himself. In the US when people die doing something rash and receive a Darwin Award, compassionate people ask “should they pay with their life for their stupidity?” - and in the civilized West, the answer is “no”.
In North Korea, the answer is “yes” - it has been like that for more than half a century.
