He should be arrested for wearing that tie with that shirt.
I think these guys will find that a President Trump won’t negotiate much over episodes like this. They will probably be offered a pallet of canned beans and a pallet of Ole Milwaukee Beer, under Trump.
Probably a loud mouth Ahole Bernie guy on campus.
He for got where he was.
The real world sucks
Moron. I do not understand why anyone would travel to that country without diplomatic immunity. I don’t understand why our government allows people to travel there for any reason.
Mistake 1, thinking one can go to NK as a tourist
Mistake 2, thinking mistake 1 was not in fact a mistake
you’re supposed to be an intelligent college student....
you go to the most oppressive country on the planet
and
you do something incredibly sophomoric and stupid.
and
now you want sympathy?????
really????
i should rethink my first statement...
How could a kid be so stupid?
He is in North Korea for Heaven’s Sake! And somehow he thinks he can simply take down a government poster for a souvenir?
And he better realize real quickly that all of his crying and blubbering is not going to help him in the least in front of those animals.
They are getting a kick out of producing such a scene...so they will do more and more to get more and more of it.
This kid is in a very bad way...and we have an administration that is more than willing to give away the kitchen sink to get him back, rather than negotiating with the animal in Pyongyang from a position of strength.
Send a back channel message showing a sat pic of Kim getting into his fricking bath tub letting him know that we have a ballistic missile launch test coming up tomorrow that may just go wrong and plant one right up his overweight backside to the point that he will be reading the US Serial number imprinted on the back of his eyeballs.
I would be REALLY interested in knowing if this kid supported Hillary or Sanders before all this happened, and now....Would he prefer those two negotiating for his release or someone like Trump?
What a loser.
He’s 21? He looks 31.
Why on Earth did this idiot ever go to North Korea in the first place?
Otto Warmbier never had much luck. His cousin, Hans Coldbier, was always the most popular guy in any crowd.
I find it impossible to work up any sympathy for this moronic crybaby.
I’m surprised North Korea even allows tourism.
Oh, dear - grabbing a souvenir from the hotel, a crime which wouldn’t have gotten a college sophomore on spring break in Ft. Lauderdale more than a fifty dollar fine.
Why didn’t the Norks just have this poor sod dig a hole, then shoot him in the head and cover over the body, then bill his family for the pistol round?
Fool of the Year Award. The North Korean Military is not known for it’s compassion. You couldn’t even use ‘being drunk’ as an excuse for this. He had to know, as a young, well dressed, white, American male, that he would be under a microscope no matter where he went in that country. Funny thing is, I don’t see his family on the news wringing their handkerchiefs for him. Maybe he refused to listen.
This kid did a dumb thing.
My guess he will never serve more than a year. The Norks are going to enjoy showing that pic of him crying to their people. I don’t blame the kid for crying.
He still is someone’s baby boy and I don’t know what I would do if that was my son. Probably, for starters, tell him never to go to N Korea
The mannerisms of the person shown taking down the poster in the video are identical to someone of Asian culture. Watch the stride towards the wall, and the way that they bent at the waist. That person was not this kid.
He probably thought it was out of date, so they wouldn't mind......................
