A valid point but bottom line is he had absolutely no business being in North Korea in the first place.
Like my father said when I was 10....”If you put yourself in a potentially dangerous situation and you get into trouble, it’s YOUR own fault”.
”If you put yourself in a potentially dangerous situation and you get into trouble, it’s YOUR own fault”. . .and you should be tortured and die from your nonsense.
I disagree. Lots of people visit NK... every year 100's of journalists go for the big annual parade, and others do go for the experience of being immersed in the totally backwards place for a few days. It's definitely an educational type of thing.
Otto was with a group with 10 others for a short visit. Normally, visitors are assigned "minders" who take you around and make sure you see things "correctly" and stay out of trouble.
It's not like going to Syria to join ISIS or something.... this sort of trip is probably safer than going to Chicago for the weekend.
If he had snuck in to try and do minister work or something then yes, that would have been super dangerous... but not coming in via normal "tourist" methods.
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. For whatever reason, the Norks decided to have an American hostage as a bargaining chip or something.
Like my father said when I was 10....”If you put yourself in a potentially dangerous situation and you get into trouble, it’s YOUR own fault”.
You don't see me trying to take a tour of North Korea. I would advise anyone I know who might be thinking of such a thing. Nevertheless, North Korea was totally unjustified in the way it treated Warmbier.
