This was a huge Obama fail. He didn’t make this case a priority. His administration told the family to “lay low” so as not to anger the N Koreans. In other words, pander to them. They didn’t even want them to hang ribbons in the neighborhood.
After months of “laying low” and getting absolutely no response or no results from the Obama administration, they started going public.

Trump made this a priority. And, had he not, this kid would still be rotting in a prison/hospital in N Korea and his family, nor anyone from our country, would know he was in a coma.

It is a very common practice in socialists countries to release terminally ill inmates.
In Soviet Union inmates with the terminal TB stage were released to keep statistics in good shape, literally weeks before they died.
"People don't dye in our prisons!" kinda thing.
So, may be it was trump, may be it was just a coincidence - trump+dyeing boy. I don't think n Koreans would have let him go that easily was he healthy.
Anyway, the boy is with his parents now.

The empty shell of what was once their child is with his parent's now. Let's not be dismissive in order to fit your liberal narrative.

Parents. Not parent's. OMG.

I don't think so. The North Koreans wanted him off of their soil. Had he died there, it would be much more of a loss for them. There were no favors done here. This was for NK's benefit, plain and simple.

Hey here's a thought... don't go to North Korea!!

Seriously. Now it's Obama's fault that he didn't get Warmbier home. Maybe little Otto shouldn't have been an entitled dumbass. I have zero fucks to give about this whole thing.

....and liberals say conservatives are heartless? Just wow.

Poster One's Concern: Parents are left with a son in a persistent vegetative state.
Poster Two's Concern: Poster One accidentally inserted an apostrophe into the word "parents."

I feel SO sorry for that young man. (Well, now he knows nothing, so I feel sorry for his parents.) Did any of you see him pleading for mercy from the North Korean court? And can you even imagine (I can't) the level of torture he endured that actually brought on a cardiac episode?

How can you liberals have no compassion for a young college kid who did a stupid thing, yet defend the stupid young welfare mother who keeps popping out kid, after kid, after kid, and demand that she is entitled to her own apartment and can buy lobster and manicures if she wants? (I'm pulling from another thread.)

If the boy was kidnaped by NK intelligence and taken to NK, that would be different.

I don't like obama at all, but what happened to this boy was self inflicted.
Still sorry for him and his family. Doctors said he has extensive brain tissue damage. Awful.

Exactly

There are Americans all over the world in trouble zones. Many are missionaries (Philippines, Africa) or have dual nationality (Iran) or business interests. Some even may even be helping foment revolution or resistance to terrible regimes. I agree to travel to NK as a tourist was not a choice I would make, compounded by the poor choice in the hotel. However, this punishment was disproportionate to his actions and world wide our diplomats advocate for (and our Marines sometimes rescue) Americans being used as political pawns or unfairly treated. Thats what we do. For all of them.

But North Korea is not a "trouble zone" and is not the Philippines or Iran (unless we are talking Iran in 1973). And NO ONE ALIVE has dual has dual citizenship with any country and North Korea.

This is really tragic -- and I have complete sympathy for his parents and for his life cut short. I honestly can't even imagine. The lesson here is though -- don't go to NK. Seriously folks. Its not a tourist attraction.

?!

You are surprised he was treated poorly in North Korea?! He had no business being there. It costs us a lot of money to rescue people who make really bad decisions.

This kid did the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest. And "adventure"? I guess. Safe??? NO. Can we get you back when something goes wrong, which it does for some people every year? Maybe not.

Maybe because that is their base and they need to pad the numbers at the ballot box?
