This. North Korea has no medical infrastructure. And having an American die in jail is a big problem for them. Once he was in a coma, there is no upside to them keeping him. Hopefully that means he still has a chance at recovery.

Hope! Change! Perhaps! These are the words of clueless liberals.

Know what should have been a big problem for N. Korea? HOLDING ONE OF OUR CITIZENS CAPTIVE

The problem started when he violated their laws.

We can’t be certain this poor kid actually did anything wrong. Why they arrested him is pretty much a mystery. We know what N Korea has said and we know what this kid has “confessed” to, but we can’t be sure any of that is accurate.
I am glad he is on his way home. Maybe our medical professionals can help him. I doubt N Korea went out of their way to give him adequate medical care.

Thanks Rodman and Trump for getting this American home.

Rodman is a big Trump guy

Why do you keep screaming about liberals when someone says they "hope" Otto is okay? I think every American is hoping that this kid is going to be alright against all odds.

Because if Hope were enough, all the dead at the hands of terrorists and tyrants would still be with just. You liberals hand wring and actively fight those who can stop this type of thing

Eh. Not white college kids.

No matter your race, if you decide to tour N Korea, you're assuming the risk. It's terribly selfish and reckless behavior at best.

In this case, I hope Trump goes full Trump and bombs the shit out of North Korea if this kid is a vegetable. Nothing he did deserved that fate. There is no reason why the North Koreans couldn't have staged a coup against their dictators, so let's reduce them to rubble if we have to and see if the ones that are left are finally ready to take matters into their own hands.

Well. That escalated quickly.

That's dumb. Boys have no special entitlement to act like dumbasses just because they're boys.

Do you seriously think we should go to war every time someone disobeys explicit State Department warnings and bumbles into an extremely hostile country? Serious question, because it does happen.

Many on this forum have no empathy. What would you do if it were your kid? Mean bitches

No, it's been escalating for years. North Korea is a threat and a nuisance, and if they are going to effectively murder an American because of a wall hanging, some of them need to die, and very soon. The Israelis understand this.

Jeez, PP. Simmer down. We are not going to bomb North Korea because they did something to an American citizen who went there.

Let's wait and see. We ought to reduce them to smithereens, and Obama isn't in office any more to equivocate and philosophize about it.

+1. Ok Trumpkins. What should have been done? Send in the SEALs and have then risk their lives because a an American citizen completely ignored strong State Department warnings not to go? Start a war on the Korean Peninsula with a nuclear power. The federal government clearly told this kid not to go. He went anyway. Actions have consequences.
