US student is sentenced to 15 years hard labor in North Korea for trying to steal a political banner

[Shin_Jr]

Maybe when Dennis Rodman went to visit N.Korea for the first time they also drugged him but no one can really tell cause its Dennis Rodman

[Zatalcon]

[locoghoul]

I want to see in his first late night show interview (cause we all know he is getting one) someone ask him “WTF did you do that?”

If he ever wakes up

On June 15, 2017, physicians at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center stated that Warmbier had suffered extensive brain damage, which is consistent with a cardiopulmonary event rather than a head injury. Warmbier’s father held a press conference that day, but declined to answer a reporter’s question as to whether or not the neurological injury was caused by an assault, saying he would let the doctors make that determination. He stated that they did not believe anything the North Koreans had told them.

Neurologist Daniel Kanter, director of the neurocritical care program at University of Cincinnati Medical Center, explained that the 22-year-old Warmbier is in “a state of unresponsive wakefulness”—a newer term for what is commonly known as persistent vegetative state. Tests revealed he has suffered extensive loss of brain tissue throughout his brain.

Kanter stated that Warmbier’s brain injury was typical of a cardiac arrest that caused the brain to be denied oxygen. Doctors also said that they did not find any evidence of physical abuse or torture; scans of Warmbier’s neck and head were normal outside of the brain injury. Doctors said they did not know what caused the cardiac arrest, but that it could have been triggered by a respiratory arrest.

Brandon Foreman, a neurointensive care specialist at the hospital, confirmed that there was no sign of a current or past case of botulism, which can cause paralysis but not coma.

Some medical records from North Korea were sent back with Warmbier, revealing he had been in this state since April 2016, one month after his conviction. Fred Warmbier expressed anger at the North Koreans for his son’s condition, saying, "There is no excuse for any civilized nation to have kept his condition secret, and denied him top-notch medical care for so long.

game over.
you have no continues left

[crucades]

Damn. NK knew they were never keeping rich white boy, so they gassed his ass. Good way to send a major fuck you to your enemy huh.

[pedoviejo]

couldn’t htey have drowned the boy repeatedly?

He was definitely tortured

[locoghoul]

From wikipedia

Waterboarding can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, lasting psychological damage, and death.

Well, it really sucks if they went further to torture a kinda already dead man (few ppl survive those hard labor camps) but damn don’t go to NK, and IF YOU DO, don’t act like a punk. Hope no one else pulls this in the future

“Liberal idiot?” He went there preaching about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I guarantee you his family voted Trump.

Going to nk is dumb

Like at least in syria you have a chance of doing your own thing

Singapore is where white assholes get caned

[Raij1n]

Pyonyang is notorious for torture.

Generations of families have lived and died there as political prisoners.

No doubt in my mind the boy went through some shit.

[Iduno]

Guy’s dumb but lets not pretend that anyone deserves to be basicly killed over a fucking poster.

[dab00g]

Nah he wasn’t killed over a poster he was killed to send a message a very stupid messAge that nk gives zero fucks

Water boarding sounds about right

Don’t go to nk, it is never a good time

Read eric bischoff’s book

Agreed

Yeah the dude not tortured over a poster, they wanted to make the guy into an example to send a message

I also agree it’s a very stupid message, but still a message to anyone in NK and the rest of the world.
I am just waiting till China has enough putting up with their Retarded little brother and teams up with the US for some NK ass whooping.

[AlphaCharlie]

Ok this kid was an idiot but damn, the sentence is more than a little uncalled for. Brutal as fuck.

[spudlyff8fan]

I doubt North Korea intentionally gave him massive brain damage. He’s much more valuable in good health than not.

You are giving NK too much credit, they can’t even take care of their citizens.
And you expect then not to give a prisoner brain damage

Offers decent insight to prisons in north Korea. Not a very pleasant place to be and brain damage is quite possible for numerous reasons.

[AlphaCharlie]

Read horror stories about the Korean Gulag camps.

Stick a fork in this kid. He is fucked. Even if he does’nt die, in 15 years he’ll wish he did.

A pseudo-death sentence over a poster?
