Otto Warmbier died because he went to NK. Hard to believe nobody counseled or talked him out of it.
Plus he did a stupid thing. You don’t try to take posters in a dictatorial commie country
Not only did he go to NK, he was foolish enough to think that he would get away with defacing state property.

Precisely what is the explanation as to why he was in NK? Normally, you'd think he might have been working for the CIA, but he in no way fit in, or was he just a lib that thought the stories of the regime there were false?
He (and perhaps? his parents) were, above all else, a victim of the huge kumbayah delusion that the Left has infused into the press and academe and the out to lunch politicized schools of theology in the West. “We’re all one world, all love peace, all love each other, etc, etc, etc.” The poor guy was a victim of Communism/Marxism, both from the West and then from the East.
I’ve wondered from the very beginning of this sad saga, what the hell this kid was doing in North Korea? It’s hardly a tourist place or a place where you’d learn something of value for the furture. I feel for this family.
He had to be a spy. UVA is their go to college. He was a smart guy. Its just insulting that we have not been told the truth. The NK know the truth, out CIA knows the truth and we are all getting wrung out over this situation without the first truthful statement.
Yep. Go to NK and die. Go to Iran and die.
It’s not hard to figure out. I feel bad for his family but some things are just not wise in this world.
