I pay as much attention to those posters as I do to the equally vindictive posters who say the kid got what was coming to him and deserved to be beaten to a pulp. SMH. |
| I am thankful he is home. And heartbroken for his family. But Americans should not be playing tourist in North Korea. I'm sure he parents feel a tremendous amount of guilt. I know I would. |
Who said he "deserved" it? |
| Does anyone think it was strange that they are reporting he was in a coma for a year? So he was in a north korean hospital this whole time? It just sounds strange to me. |
Read the thread. |
Yes, it sounds very strange. There were other rumors that he had recently been beaten. I guess we will know more if his parents choose to make the results of his medical testing public. |
I've already read every post. Don't recall a single post saying he "deserved" it. Cite an example or I call BS. |
I believe the doctors are making a statement this afternoon. |
| So many judgmental people on DCUM. Unless you live in glass houses, your kids will get in trouble someday too and do something stupid. |
Please. What has happened to Otto is terrible. The only thing we disagree on is whether or not we should go to war with North Korea over this. |
There was a news article that quoted several other released North Korean prisoners who said that they were generally treated well from a health perspective, and not beaten/tortured, and had their health monitored, because NK did not want and American prisoner to die. That's why I find it credible that maybe Otto did have some kind of viral illness that affected his brain and/or caused paralysis. Even something like Guillan Barre. Or an overdose/suicide attempt. |
| I agree that the timing seems really off. I mean, how hard is it to keep someone alive who's been in a coma for OVER a year? It seems like that would be difficult, even by Western medical standards. |
No one on this thread is claiming that Otto didn't do stupid things. No one. But if Otto had a different skin color or Obama had been the one to secure Otto's release rather than Trump many of you judgmental liberals would be singing a different tune. |
So what you are saying is unless someone outwardly uses those words, it's not so? What do you think all the comments about not traveling there in the first place were about? Those that criticized his character? Liberals love to step in their own crap and then point fingers. |
Yes, what about the other three Americans. Too yellow for Trump? |
