Otto Warmbier murdered by the North Korean State
I'm a little ambivalent over this kid's misfortune. While I do indeed feel he was likely subject to abuse at the levels of torture I am also aware that he traveled to a very dangerous area for United States Nationals and the leftist libtard educators are fine with those pitfalls associated with travelling to hostile regions of the world. |
He was a student from the United States who was part of a guided tour group who entered North Korea on December 29, 2015. He was imprisoned by North Korea in 2016 on a charge of subversion for allegedly stealing a propaganda poster.
In June 2017, he was released by North Korea in a vegetative state and died soon after his return home for treatment.
Somehow the consequences appear entirely too severe for the alleged crime. In this dark world we can not often expect mercy at any level. Particularly when the administrator of those consequences is a foul evil entity who assumed power from nepotist concerns without personal merit, without finesse, without any redeeming virtue whatsoever.
Though I feel his travels were both misguided and foolhardy I am adamately opposed to torture, let alone murder and feel that he suffered both at the hands of a cruel asian regime who will fire anti-aircraft guns at family members to dispatch them upon his displeasure.
He was sentenced to 15 years hard labor in March 2016 but fell ill under suspicious circumstances and his condition was not disclosed until June 2017.
He was returned to the United States in a comatose state and arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio on June 13, 2017. He was subsequently taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center for immediate evaluation and treatment.
This young one never regained consciousness and died on June 19, 2017, six days after his return to the United States. It is my personal opinion that the North Korean captors are totally responsible for his injury and death.
