I just don't get the double standard.

On one hand, we have an ex-con with prison time for assault, banishing a stolen gun near a schoolyard, and defying police who ordered him 11 times to drop his gun - and the encounter ends in his swift death. Liberals are bemoaning the fate of the man, whom they refuse to admit had any role in his demise. He was black.

On the other hand, we have a 21-year-old student at UVA, who had completed a semester at the London School of Economics and was studying abroad. He makes a stupid mistake in taking a poster (if he even did), never threatened anyone, never imprisoned for assault. But he is not only killed, he endures a horrific experience and Lord-knows-what before it all ends. Yet, we have people saying he's an idiot who deserved it, and is responsible for his own actions. He was white.

Why all the sympathy and excuses for a violent ex-con and the disgusting lack of compassion for a college kid who never hurt anyone? The difference is black and white. (Double meaning intended.)

White tears

Not true at all. Many people would agree with PP.

I'm the PP (who outlined the difference between the two deaths), and I had to look up the term "white tears." Now that I know its meaning, I would say that the responder who used it proves my point even further. Why is the violent ex-con who has assault on his record a more sympathetic figure than a college kid who never hurt anyone? I feel much worse for this kid and what he went through than I do for the ex-con. The college kid suffered much worse.

Because in liberal PC America it is only acceptable to feel sorry for/sympathize with people who have been oppressed in history including people of color, homosexuals, women, Jews, Muslims, etc. If you are a straight white Christian male, you will never be worthy of sympathy, no matter the situation. You are a representation of the oppressor from years past and you also get to enjoy white privilege which makes you automatically unworthy of sympathy.

NP. I'm a liberal and totally sympathize with Otto Warmbier. My heart aches for his parents. Thousands of tourists go to North Korea every year and the worst that happens to them is that their camera gets confiscated. He did not deserve to die.

NP here. I'm very ignorant about tourism in N Korea and would never travel there. Didn't realize they had so many tourists. Do you mean families? I would never take that risk.

About 4,000 to 6,000 Western tourists visit North Korea every year. Tourists can only go on organized tours and are not allowed to walk around by themselves. At the end of the visit, you give your camera to an official/soldier and he goes through it deleting any pictures he wants to.

Here are some Western tourists in North Korea.

The college kid suffered much worse at the end of his life; the ex-con likely suffered just as much in the beginning.

As bad as growing up in poverty can be in America, the majority of poor people still have air-conditioning, microwaves, color TV, and a car - to say nothing of the luxury of sleeping in a bed. I sure hope you're not comparing the plight of a poor black kid to the torture of a North Korean prison camp.

I'm the PP, and relieved you sympathize. I am sick about the expressions being out forth here; I hope it just a vocal minority who has such hate in their hearts.

Could that have had something to do with why Otto was singled out for such reprehensible treatment? (I have no idea how NK views Jews, but as soon as I hit submit, I'm going to research.)

PP who asked. Thx for this info. If you posted the pics, thx for those as well. All looks friendly and inviting, but I'd be waaay too fearful to travel there.
