If there are, they would be escapees from that hellhole.

Never mind. Jewish... I’m sure he’s with his ancestors and is home in heaven.

"Any young North Korean men in the US?"

There was an article a few weeks back about North Korean 'sleeper cells' being in the country. They are supposedly ready to create havoc if the SHTF.

I have a feeling he was not in a coma for the past year. My money says the dirtbags did this to him during negotiations for his release.

I heard the statement his family sent out to the press. It was heartrending.

RIP

I have seen many comments to this effect. The North Korean regime is purpose built and run on lies. There is no real evidence this kid did anything at all to put himself in this spot, other than going on the tour in the first place.

I think them medical evidence indicates he has been in a coma since March.

I read a novel set in North Korea (fictional but based on factual research) where one of the characters kept botulism tainted peaches for as a suicide pill for his family. Now this kid supposedly contracts botulism.

Effin sc*mbag did squat for an entire year, even told Warmbiers family to be quiet! The Norks PURPOSELY damaged Warmbiers brain because they were emboldened by this bowing faggot of a POTUS. They didn’t want Warmnier talking so they purposely stopped his heart long enough to make him a vegetable knowing full well Obama would do squat about it, and here Trump gets him out in less than 5 months.

If Obama had gotten him out sooner he might still be alive. No one knows when he went into that coma, when North Korea gave him whatever they gave him to cause him to go into a coma..but Obama didnt care..if the person isn’t Muslim he could care less..at least President Trump got him released so he could be in the loving arms in his family as he died, surrounded by those who loved him..RIP Otto and God Bless the Warmbier family

It’s hard to blame Obama for this one. He was in a coma for a long time.

The kid made a poor decision to go to North Korea in the first place, so he’s primarily responsible for his own fate.

That said, people seem to overlook the fact that Kim Jong-Un is most likely responsible for his death.

Don’t see any other option if we are to prevent the NORKs from joining the end of the world club.

NK lets in tour groups. You’d think they’d be smart enough to give a little latitude to the tourists and let an infraction of this nature slide, but I guess they realize anyone touring NK won’t be smart enough to learn the lesson and stay away.

Absolutely, without question. His spirit was trapped and he was holding on until he was back with his loved ones. Think about it: He survived in that catatonic state for an entire year in one of the most brutal countries on earth and he goes to heaven days after he returns home? That was deliberate. I am beyond furious though, this has never ever been done to a US citizen before by the North Koreans. This was deliberately done because they were emboldened by Obamas weakness. They didn’t want Warmbier talking about what he had seen or what they had done to him so they purposely stopped his heart to damage his brain, and considering how sadistic they are, they probably told him beforehand what they were going to do. That country is the Holocaust and Stalism all rolled into one, it is el PRIMO example of the horror that communism creates.

According to Warmbier’s roommate in North Korea, Danny Gratton, there is good reason to doubt the regime’s story about stealing a propaganda poster.

I would believe him over the NORKs. I didn't mean anything against Otto Warmbier in my statement. It just shows how short-sighted they are to open their country to foreign tourists, presumably want that business, and then imprison and harm someone who took them up on it.
