N. Korea is NOT America!

[Waveraider]

Always goes back to the old saying.

"They didn't hang the horse thief for stealing the horse. They hung the horse thief to keep people from stealing horses".

Just make everyone going to ROK read the story, and everyone will be fine. Unless someone thinks their above the law and does something stupid.

Want to live the good life? Seriously, go to North Korea, defect, and be a propaganda tool. You won't have to work, you have the best they have to offer, and you'd be a celebrity. Weird, but absolutely true.

The "best they have to offer" does not include freedom... no bleeping thanks...

Why the **** would you go to N. Korea? This guy stupid or something?

Going to a NorK, and tryin to steal, kinda self answers that question.

I can't tell if this is from a North Korean court room or if it is a GOPe meeting?

I think he was GOPeeing when he heard that sentence.

 

[actaeon277]

Thought about putting his in the SJW thread, thought this would be a better place though.

Dear Snowflakes, here’s what oppression REALLY looks like

Well, I have a message for these special snowflakes. Do you want to know what REAL oppression looks like? How about 15 years hard labor for attempting to steal a poster? How about being imprisoned in a jail where you’re so hungry that eating corn out of cow dung or, if you’re really lucky – catching a mouse – is considered a meal. How about being served “justice” by a court not ruled by a jury of your peers but rather a totalitarian government that cares less than nothing for your tears?

Perhaps due to modern entertainment and communications and the general state of our society, American youth seem to think that most of the world is just like us or that America is totalitarian while the rest of the world is progressing.

I feel zero sympathy for the idiot. Yeah, the punishment is harsh by our standards. You can bet they don't have the vandalism issues we have here. he's learning a harsh lesson.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says North Korea is releasing jailed US university student Otto Warmbier.

Thank you, Ambassador Rodman.

(Otto was only mentioned in this thread.)

 

[SEIndSAM]

Is that Otto?? ^^^^^^^^^

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Student freed from North Korea suffered `severe neurological injury,' is in stable condition.

Last I heard was comatose.

 

[patience0830]

But,. . .but. . at least he's home.

Harsh penalty for youthful foolishness. I have sympathy for his mother. He should not have done this to her.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

According to his family, Otto has died.

 

[halfmileharry]

According to his family, Otto has died.

Just came across my phone. Family was the source.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I'm sure they allowed him to die as a compassionate move

he died in N Korea, his heart stopped in America

 

[Kutnupe14]

Poor kid. I don't know if it was stupidity or curiosity that killed him.

 

[GunSlinger]

Poor kid. I don't know if it was stupidity or curiosity that killed him.

No Kut...it was the N. Korean regime that killed him.

 

[Que]

It's sad and unfortunate. No parent should have to bury their child. But, as I understand it from other occurrences here in the United States, if he didn't break the law, he wouldn't have been killed. Does that not apply here?

 

[churchmouse]

Poor kid. I don't know if it was stupidity or curiosity that killed him.

If I am wrong in this then set me straight but did he not go into the Verboten land of his own accord...???

Why. To what end.

I get D. Rodman going there as he and Kim are besties.
