Whatever. The point is not how he got there, but N. Korea's actions towards this student and the fact they probably killed him. I want to know why he was left there to literally die by the Obama administration.

I'm not interested in sending abunch of 18 year olds to fight in North Korea because some spoiled, stupid 20 year old could not stay the frack out of a forbidden zone. It doesn't take a genius to realize that NK is off limits for tourism. The Chinese don't even go there for vacation

And I'm not going to have one whit of empathy for any liberal that lives on Capitol Hill and is attacked, knowing how dangerous the surrounding neighborhood is. That's spoiled and stupid behavior. It doesn't take a genius to realize you could get robbed and killed.

Because how does that sound better than 'he's been in a coma for a year and we didn't do anything about it'?

I'm going to put money on the fact that he HAS been in a coma for that long and someone in the Obama administration knew about it.

Fred Warmbier criticized the Obama administration for not doing enough to secure his son’s release.

“With the last administration, Otto seemed to be an unwanted distraction, and they urged us to keep quiet. Now the new administration is there, so we’ve decided to start speaking out,” he said in April.

“We know that the administration has been challenged by bigger issues than Otto, but we don’t understand why diplomacy on a different track to get Otto and the other detainees out can’t be going on at the same time,” Warmbier’s mother Cindy added.

Just spit balling now.

Could you see the NK doing something to turn him into a vegetable, but keeping him alive long enough to let any traces of poison leave his body?

Raise your hand if your are shocked that this kid's parents put pressure on the Obama Administration to get their kid home. Of course they did.

Of course, it would have been far simpler if they had put pressure on their kid not to go to North Korea in the first place...

We should have invaded!!! And dropped nukular bombs!!!

It's not 1945. The USA is not the only nation with nukes now. The fly in both directions.

Bless your heart. It's a good thing I don't live on Capitol Hill.

How much money would you like to bet, and where and how do I collect?

You're funny! As if who launches first will make much of a difference.

Wonder how they'll feel as they see Trump cozy up to the regime that did this awful thing to their son.

Is here a state department warning against travel to Capitol Hill?
