They murdered an American and they need to pay the price.

What is the price for murdering an American?

Ask the Israelis and the Gazans. The Israelis don't readily put up with this shit.

I should ask the Israelis and the Palestinians what the price is for murdering an American?

no, the poster means that as Israel bombed Gaza killing 1400 people when Hamas was throwing rockets, we should do the same. it's the usual hard-cowboy posture "we will smoke them out of their cave" that sounds so good when you get a beer with pals at the pub after your shift and could not pick NK on a world map. the poster does not understand that bombing from the sky a city full of civilians with no defenses when you have a powerful army and the mighty of the US behind you is not exactly the same as attacking a country with a large army, nuclear bombs and a border with an ally where tens of thousands of American live.

on the bright side, given the number of posters who seem eager to attack NK, we should ship them all on the front line, sounds like they are already a little battalion, they can practice their tough words and show Kim that you don't mess with Americans

+1 . But we both know the cowards would rather have other people kids ( preferably the poor rural hicks ) die to avenge Larlo and Larla mistakes

Kim Dong Chul accused of espionage. Born in S Korea and is a naturalized US citizen.
Kim Sang-duk accused of Committing "hostile criminal acts with an aim to subvert the country.” At the time of his arrest, Kim had completed a one-month assignment as a guest lecturer in international finance and management at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST), a YUST sister institution, according to the chancellor of PUST, Park Chan-mo.
Kim Hak-Song accused of Suspicion of "hostile acts" against the state. I believe he was also a guest lecturer, but I am not certain.

Yes, Americans were strongly advised by our government not to travel there. But it's also common sense. I feel for this young man's family, but he is accountable for his actions in traveling there.

Shhhhh amongst a certain clique of the UMC set of wanna-be UMC , accountability is for others not their snowflakes

So, this young man deserved to die for traveling to a country that has a brutal regime? Just say it if that is what you believe.

I think they were foolish to travel or work in N. Korea.

No one said he deserved to die. But lots of people get what they don't deserve, and we don't start nuclear wars.

This. Thank Barack Obama for doing nothing to get him home.

I don't want the US government to risk other people's lives to rescue people who make foolish decisions.

Please note:
Trump didn't risk anyone's life.
Obama ignored the whole thing.

Posters here are advocating war with NK. That is risking lots of other people's lives.

People are human and make foolish decisions. We still endeavor to rescue them.

Pretty sure the official US govt policy is that we don't risk lives trying to rescue foolish Americans who ignore State Dept travel warnings.

Very few people here have advocated nuclear war. In fact, I believe it is only one angry poster saying this.
But, I do believe our government should do everything they can to work for the release of Americans unjustly detained.

I didn't know we had that official policy. Even so, isn't that beside the point? That's why we have diplomacy. Sometimes it even works.

News Flash:
Trump isn't paying attention to DCUM. Sorry.

DCUMers are brutally competitive when it comes to bidding wars and school admissions, but otherwise are classic cheese-eating surrender monkeys. They'd take up a collection to rehang the wall banner if it would help preserve their comfy lives.

I can't help wondering if Otto tried to hang himself and that's how he got brain damage. Who would blame him.
