Fred and Cindy Warmbier told Fox and Friends they knew their son was in a coma, but hoped medical care in the United States would be enough to save Otto. As soon as they boarded the plane that carried him back to the United States, however, they were met with “howling, this involuntary, inhuman sound.” --snip-- The Warmbiers explained that they’d hoped to stay out of the spotlight and heal, “but now we see North Korea claiming to be a victim, and that the world is picking on them,” Fred explained.

Why would he?

His BFF Bill Ayers has a handbook about such things.

All power to the proletariat.

KLU ordered the murders of his own family members. He has people tied to the muzzles of cannons and fires them, blowing them into hundreds of pieces. He tortures and imprisons and kills people for the crimes of watching western movies or worshiping God.

Yet liberals think he is being bullied by Trump.

"Yet liberals think he is being bullied by Trump. "

The Progs don't care about the oppressed.

It is about becoming the oppressors.

Made me sick this morning when I heard them. To see your child in that state & imagining what he went thru......I can’t imagine a greater torture for a parent.

The group that sponsored the tour has been doing it for years. They didn’t tell Warmbier there was a special risk for Americans. Maybe they didn’t realize such a risk existed. Anyway, after the Warmbier horror, the tour group no longer allows Americans to participate in their N. Korea tours.

Otto was already very twisted when he went to North Korea.
