Sad story for him & his family.
Hard to fathom what kind of torture they put him through, to have him wind up in a coma.
Then on the other hand, why would anyone want to visit a country that hates US & wants to nuke US as soon as possible???
...And Then when they get in trouble someone else's Son or Daughter has to risk their lives to save them...
:Agree: Luckily for us the taxpayers, it was only Dennis Rodman risking his life to get this kid back this time...
I haven't one drop of Sympathy for him......Or anyone that go's to a county that we have no relations with and ends up in trouble...I also have the same feelings for someone that wants to row across the ocean in a row boat Or fly across in a balloon, Or some other stupid stunt...And Then when they get in trouble someone else's Son or Daughter has to risk their lives to save them...
Well the sad story is now over for this kid.
HOPEFULLY it'll be a lesson for anyone wanting to take a trip to NK anytime soon....Stay the heck away:nono:
RIP Otto Warmbier
Its a big country' America.....There will be others who will temp faith ....
Like the idiot couple who was gonna live with the bears to protect them from the hunters...

I agree that Otto going was stupid but how can you say you don't have one drop of sympathy for him. He was a 20 yr old kid. Many of us, ( not you of course) made lots of decisions when we were younger that we look back on and think how silly we were. I don't care where he went. No country should EVER treat another human like that, whether they are citizens are guests. Also, many of these tour companies sell these trips and "assure" the customers that they will be safe since they are part of a tour. Would you and I believe it....hell no, but many folks do.
I hope you and members of your family never get in a situation where you lose someone because of a silly decision, but if they do, I hope others show sympathy for you and them.
