He went to North Korea, with intent committed a crime, was tried and sentenced.

Not sure why he’s worth the taxpayer dollars to pay the State Department employees to work out his release.

First rule, Don’t go to North Korea
Second rule, don’t commit crimes in North Korea

We’ll save our diplomatic capital for those cases where idiots go to North Korea, but are brought up on trumped up charges, not criminals.

North Korea is the Left’s Utopia. Obey or Else.

And people kept telling me Democrats were good boys that we can tolerate to exist by losing a few elections to them.

It’s not about elections.

Try to elect a dead body back to life again, see how that works.

I want to know more about this “coma pill” the North Koreans have apparently developed.

this charming place is what the progressives are trying to turn America into. If the left has the say they don’t mind having a democratic dynasty like the clinton or Obama family ruling America for eternity like nk

I dunno. Cruise missile over the local equivalent of the presidential palace if we don’t get Willy Numbnuts back, in good health, with compensation in US currency by next Tuesday.

IIRC, the kid was arrested for trying to take a poster off ov a wall to take home. Guess the Norks don’t have gift shops for tourists. Gulags, but not gift boutiques. Charming place….

This release occurred simultaneously with the arrival of truly weird Dennis Rodman in Pyongyang. Fat Boy hearts Rodman.

I too hope for recovery, but given the depravity of the NK junta, it may turn out that the damage is irreversible. Why anyone, other than weirdos like Rodman, travels to NK without several battalions of marines, several Seal teams, 2 carries off shore, and bombers circling overhead is a mystery to me.

I’m sorry for the guy. But why the hell would any American ever go to North Korea? ?? Further what parent would allow their college age kid to go there?? The mental processes of some people are beyond my comprehension.
