RUSH: You know poor old Otto Warmbier, the student that went over to North Korea and they tortured so severely that he died within days of being returned? You would not believe the hate being written about this guy by people on the left and by supposed comedians, who are just raking this guy over the coals. They just can’t come to criticize a bunch of communists for committing murder or manslaughter against an American citizen.
They have to blame this guy, and they blame his whiteness. “Yeah, he was some rich white college kid who thought he would go to North Korea and play a prank. But you just can’t go to a foreign country and steal their stuff!” His escapades are attributed to his “white privilege.” I mean, it’s the most repugnant thing. This guy’s being trashed and all that — and never mind the fact that the Obama administration was powerless to do anything about it.
In fact, the Obama administration told Warmbier’s family, “Do not post any ribbons. Don’t put any yellow ribbons out there on the trees in your front yard. That might make the North Koreans mad.” I mean, it was just… But the way this guy is being savagely attacked? He may have done some risky or dumb things, but he’s being blamed for being a “rich white kid,” exhibiting his “white superiority,” and he found out that it didn’t get him anywhere. It’s just amazing.
His father criticized their god-king. There are consequences for that.
This is a Leftist eating their own. He was probably a naive/ignorant Leftist. Most rich white kids are Leftists who think they could break and steal things and rail against Capitalism and get away with it because that’s their experience in Western countries
He’s getting dissed by some Righty weirdos also.
It’s disgusting.
+1
Getting murdered for doing dumb things is wrong, OK? I don't really care if he was a liberal or a Leftist or a Plantagenet: he was an American and didn't deserved to be beaten to death by a bunch of filthy Communist troglodytes.
Understand?
Do we even know that he did what the NK’s accused him of? How likely is it that he was 100% innocent and only read their prepared “confession” because he thought it might save his life?
“he was an American and didn’t deserved to be beaten to death by a bunch of filthy Communist troglodytes.”
He was in North Korea and subject to their Equal Protection Clause. All prisoners are treated the same, regardless of their nationality.
They can’t even get a simple one right! It isn’t because he’s white, it’s because he’s stupid!
“Do we even know that he did what the NK’s accused him of? How likely is it that he was 100% innocent and only read their prepared “confession” because he thought it might save his life?”
I seem to recall that there was a security video of him taking the poster.
However, his guilt or innocent under our standards of innocence until proven guilty is irrelevant in NK.
Liberals are truly despicable creatures.
One version I heard during the trial is someone offered to buy a car for him in return for an nk souvenir.
I think what happened to him was a tragedy.
That being said, I’ve learned that it is not uncommon for rich people to do what most of us would call “dangerous”. And sometimes they die.
Be it crushed by a hippo, killed by a Lion, freeze to death on Everest or get killed by a crazy dictator, being rich can be dangerous if you have an affinity to pushing the edge of the envelope.
Yes he did, and rightly though
Prove it that he was. You are just speculating.
Excellent point
He was accused by the norks of having stolen some poster from the hotel he was staying. It was all over the news. Although I doubt that Comedy Central reported it.
They sure are.
They are indeed
That is the first time I heard/read of it.
