Sometimes as humans we have to have some level of compassion and humanitarianism, even reserved for idiots like these liberal (but probably not liberal/leftist anymore) girls essentially just one level above cub reporters stringing for a college newspaper. I think I know you. If you heard these two’s terrified screams and crying of themselves to sleep nightly in some dank DPRK cell with rats and piss and NK guards ready for a rape at a moments notice, while they look at other prisoners talking to themselves and out of their minds, I believe you would want them out of there I am sure, I think most good Freepers would. At any rate, stupidity, yes, but certainly a said story. Like I said, this should all be billed to Al Gore afterward, PTSD counseling sessions, medical treatment and the like, when/and if/they get out of that HELL.
You are correct, I hold no ill will towards these women.
I would love to see them returned unharmed.
Do I believe the girls are being punished for the sins of the sister? Yes.
I see this as a bit like the person who jumps off a bridge tied to a bungy cord.
However, if they knowingly crossed the border, then why should anyone be surprised that they are in a camp there? If I swerve into oncoming traffic am I to wail about the consequences? It would be foolhardy to do so.
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROSS THE NK BORDER!
If they were snatched while in China I might feel differently, but it sounds as though they crossed over.
Deadly mistake.
