Deranged Rhino Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks D.R. I really respect your insight . This just is my bugaboo, don't mean to come off so hot. The more I've learned about the realities on the ground over there the more disappointing it gets. We're better as a country than we're showing ourselves to be in Syria.

IDBillzFan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've done a search on Otto Warmbier and have seen nothing turn up. Given how excited the left was when he was sentenced, I would have figured they would be giving a Benghazi-like cheer for his death. Just in case you weren't paying attention, the left never misses an opportunity to leverage the death of a white man to their narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 are you serious ? It doesn't get much better. Here is a now-deleted tweet from Affinity Magazine. Apparently Otto found a place where white privilege doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I still do not see why Otto deserved a death penalty 15 years of hard labor for stealing a banner , give me a break Edited June 20, 2017 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 true, but not right Of course it's not right, but the guy traveled into North !@#$ing Korea. That's a monumental !@#$ing feat. The fact that he was able to do so in and of itself is an incredible indicator that he knew exactly what he was doing, and the severity of the consequences were he to be caught. He's a !@#$ing moron who brought this down on himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a minor offense under North Korean law, was it? Of course it's not right, but the guy traveled into North !@#$ing Korea. That's a monumental !@#$ing feat. The fact that he was able to do so in and of itself is an incredible indicator that he knew exactly what he was doing, and the severity of the consequences were he to be caught. He's a !@#$ing moron who brought this down on himself. It's actually pretty easy to travel to the DPRK. You just sign up and pay for an excursion with - no **** - Young Pioneer Tours, who specialize in vacation tours marketed to the die-hard communist tourist desiring a visit to fraternal socialist countries like North Korea. A dedicated communist experienced communism up close. I have little sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) For once tasker, I agree. Did I miss something about any actual evidence that he committed the crime of which he was accused? I saw an interview with his roommate for the trip which cast a lot of doubt on the claim. Clearly the punishment did not fit the crime, unless you strip all logic away from it, but was there actually even a crime? Why would N. Korea be believed about this? He was detained at the airport days after the supposed crime. Why not right away? I grant that he made a gigantic mistake if he took the poster and that only added to his initial mistake of going there in the first place. The people spitting on his grave with tweets about white privilege and/or the North Korean health care system? I don't really have words for that. I remember the outrage at a semi-capitalist country caning a kid that went on for weeks, but when it is a commie country 15 years hard labor, a coma and death is the fault of the white kid.

The point is, the kid had multiple layers of stupid: 1) travelling to NK 2) stealing a poster in NK 3) getting caught stealing a poster in NK these were all completely avoidable.

4merper4mer Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 No, he was framed. Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. I have since looked around on the web and saw the CCTV video of "him" stealing the poster. I'm not saying it couldn't have been him but seriously? Is there more? It looks like it could have been Tom Cruise. The paraded confession is beyond absurd. Methodists and the Obama administration put him up to this super secret mission?
