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.
That is the first time I heard/read of it.

What kind of idiocy is that? Is the FreeRepublic being overrun with dimwit liberals? North Korea is like Nazi Germany without the humanity. They killed an American citizen just because he was an American citizen.
It's an atrocity and the Norks need to pay.
Alas, poor Otto was a ‘fellow-traveler’ but he and his family still did not deserve this result.
I agree 100 percent.
Equal Protection in North Korea means all prisoners, regardless of nationality are treated equally.
I saw a picture of him at a protest. Occupy perhaps. But that doesn’t by any means attribute to what the North Koreans did to this poor boy.
I cannot understand anyone vacationing in North Korea any more than I can understand someone vacationing in Pakistan (Barky).
Yeah, right. Then they’re all murdered, right?
Fantastic post.
Well, he did a NY climate change protest in 2014, visited Cuba in 2015 and finally NK in 2016. He was plumbing the depths of his ideology and finally hit bottom. Like millions before him he achieved the ultimate enlightenment of communism -death. In a strange way it’s like Logan’s Run. A mass deception of the state-sponsored destruction of individuals.
Yeah, moron. They are beaten, starved and tortured. Equal treatment.
What’s your angle here? Justifying what they did to that boy was MURDER.
.
Yes, murdered and murdered very slowly.
What they did to him was a crime but his going there was a Darwinian act.
Sick vile bastards. Completely expected from a group that blame the victim when they were attacked at a baseball game.
Funny how the left loves their hate speech, but wants to limit ours.

He was trying to steal a poster. They have him on video
Yeah, that definitive picture of a blurry person placing something from the wall on the floor. Best video evidence ever to prove someone did something.
No they don’t. Shame on you believing their lies.
