    Holy shit I remember this guy! Just recently I wanted to post something about him, the comments from the yankees, the cries, the cope, screeching, seething for him while they can’t do nothing about it are so delicious!

    Didn’t USA make it illegal for their passport to be used to travel to DPRK in direct response to this incident? I wouldn’t be surprised if the spooks put him up to this just to orchestrate a situation where they could do that ban. Similar to how they don’t want their citizens visiting Cuba.

      Otto Warmbier, a US college republican who went to the DPRK to prove how terrible it was, vandalized a building, got arrested and sentenced to prison, had some kind of medical incident there and went into a coma, the DPRK sent him back to the US, he dies shortly after, his parents under the guidance of their CIA handler refuse to do an autopsy to find the cause of death, the medical examiner found no signs of abuse.

        refuse to do an autopsy

        You think if you suspected the DPRK of killing him, you’d fucking try to find hard evidence of it.

          It’s better for them not to have an autopsy done, because Congress has a fund for victims of the DPRK or something like that. I’m not even joking.

          So they cashed in a ton of money over their son’s death on the promise that they would not look into it any more and keep claiming the DPRK abused him until he died.

          Medical examiner, from what he could find, saw that Otto actually received good care because he had no bed sores, typical of coma patients.

          The CIA doctors or whoever did a cursory examination of him when he was returned, also probably provided with his medical history, knew the DPRK didn’t cause this, so they advised the family not to do an autopsy because it would prove them publicly innocent.

          It reminds me of how in some elections in south america, the US will instruct the opposition parties to not run candidates (ie refuse to participate), if they know the left wing party would smash them in popularity.

          Ie don’t do your enemies any favors by making something public that likely helps them and hurts you.

        Also what specifically did he do? Western media says he only stole a calendar from a staff only area or something, but I very much doubt that was the full story.

          IIRC he tore down a very large anti-US propaganda banner and tried to get it out of the country.
