Very simple - if you don't want bad things to happen to you don't go to bad places or do bad things.
I have no (zero) compassion for this kid or his family - sorry, you make stupid decisions in life and you suffer the consequences.

What's his story in general? I had not heard of him (or forgot) until released recently by NK. I agree if you poke a wild tiger, don't be shocked if he attacks you. Just don't know what he was upto that caused him to be held by NK?
He stole a poster. It was caught on video and if your American and you steel (even if the poster was worthless) it gives them justification to sentence him to 15 years of hard labor. I agree with pr. Americans in N. Korea, Pakistan, the middle east, half of Africa or Russia shouldn't question what they have stepped into.
If the parents were wealthy political donors it would matter. It's a sad story.

North Korea used drugs to torture and kill Otto Warmbier: Col. Shaffer
He was from some sort of religious group/family. The father puts all the blame on Obama!
As I said before - these assholes think they can go anywhere and do anything because Jesus is on their side and they are Americans.
What kind of school and parent allows their kid to go to North Korea unless there is an ulterior motive? None!
If you go to a place like North Korea you have to expect to not be treated very well - they don't want you for any other than propaganda purposes.
It's about time people like this realize their actions have serious consequences just like voting!
No tears from me just like the asshole congressman who thinks everyone should conceal carry and then eats the lead.
WAT? no autopsy will be performed? wtf, don't the parents even want to know what he died from? an autopsy might reveal something. must be religious belief not to have autopsy performed?
And yeah, why would any American, or anyone from a free country want to visit a country with a dictatorship? To do an undercover report on human rights abuses?
And yeah, it's Obama's fault, hey Don, get to negotiating a GREAT DEAL, PHENOMINAL DEAL, to get the release of others being held captive! Don, you are one big dickhead!
