RE: Professor Says Otto Warmbrier "Got What He Deserved"?!
You can call him stupid in a sense for even attempting to take something from North Korea and he was incredibly naive to think that he could get away with it, but serious harm and death as a consequence of something so minor is in no way justified. One moment of madness ruined and ultimately ended his life.
Agreed. I can't even believe somebody would wanna go there let alone do something like this. It's really troubling that the Obama administration did absolutely nothing to help though. I still feel we're not being told the whole story of whatever that may be. It's the US govt...when do they ever tell the truth tho right?!
I can see the fascination with North Korea. There are few places like it. But when you take a trip to places like these you have to be aware of everything you do and the consequences that your actions might have, even if back home such an action would be considered insignificant. Unfortunately Otto didn't give much thought towards that. Perhaps he felt somewhat invincible being American. Who knows. It's sad but a reminder to anyone planning a visit there that these things can and do happen if you're not careful.
