I know that the Warmbier family will not see this post, but I still feel the need to write it. When your son arrived at Lunken airport in Cincinnati in June there were perhaps 80 or so people there to greet him. My friend and I were 2 of them. We were all scattered over a wide area, and of course behind the fence from the tarmack. We were all there for reasons known only to ourselves. My friend, a USMC veteran, and myself retired from the Navy were there because we believed he was a political prisoner and we wanted to welcome him home. As we all waited for the plane, very few words were spoken. When the plane came into view and landed no one took pictures, all just stood in silence, most of us weeping. When the plane passed in front of us, my friend and I stood at attention and rendered a hand salute. At that point we left the airport. We felt that this was the time for his family, and we didn't want to appear as morbid spectators as he was removed from the plane. I am very sorry this happened to your son. May God grant you peace and comfort.

lati538 Ikr. This is why we may not want to travel to totalitarian countries. They have prisons equivalent to the Ministry of Love from the 1984 story.
Hector Aldozar It’s insane if you think a 15-year-year sentence for stealing a poster is a reasonable punishment. I doubt he could appreciate the consequences of that theft because he’d have never traveled there if he knew how brutal the country is. Plus we don’t even know if he snatched that poster. The evidence is very suspect.
@@katvtay reasonable or not, thats their country and their rules. US of America, have MORE people in prisons than Russia, CHina and North Korea combined. If you dont believe me, see for yourself on official data on google. US has 320 million population, while those 3 countries together have little over 1,5billion. if we make calculation, we are coming to result that US has 5 times more people in prisons per capita than RUssia, China and North Korea combined.
@@katvtay US keeps saying that Russia, China and NK are countries of dictatorship, where people end up in prisons and gulags while US is 5 times worse than all those 3 countries put together. use your brain
He sure did. But his FANS seem to forget every twisted crap that comes out of his mouth and will continue to blindly follow him. They are idiots and the epitome of sheep.
I guess you all forget that ALL governments negotiate and Try to deal with communist evil Regimes.... remember IRAN deal !!!! Y'all Don't like it when he /Our President is being Diplomatic and Ya Dont like it when he is insulting (little Rocket man)....The ONLY real person to blame IS Obama! for being a spineless piece of flesh and not insisting they send OTTO home sooner......... ugh...
As bad as this story is, one must remember that what they did to him happens on a daily basis in N. Korea to their own people & worse. If you listen to the testimony of people who escape from the DPRK you will understand how brutal life outside of their capital city is. Anti- Americanism is taught from birth & they live in a perpetual reliving of the Korean war. When you have a regime that in 70 yrs has actually changed the physical features of their citizens from those 50 miles away. You know some horrifying abuse is happening over a long time.
My heart breaks for Otto parents, my son is the same age and I could never imagine losing him. The way Otto died is incomprehensible so terribly sad RIP Otto.
hey how about parents in iraq, where is symphaty for them, they are in thousands, who will "show same mercy" to killers of their children, do you filthy people ever stop to think of that
you want to bring this up. but you don't want to talk about the murderers Taliban and Isis already killing these people. that is a threat to America but don't hear you mentioning that. so you take your filthy comments and keep it to yourself !
Ruby, it sounds scripted it is not. In the court of law wording is everything it affects the verdict. In lawsuits the wording put forth in the claim represents what is the breach you have experienced. When speaking about your claim it is legal common sense to reiterate or say as is, the initial wording set forth in the claim. They are in middle of or has just finished their lawsuit.
I agree, the way the father repeated his statements about north korea being terrorist state, and the overall vibe i got from the video was off putting to say the least
I followed this story from the beginning. I remember watching the TV when he got sentenced 15 years. His eyes looked scared and sad. It made him appear so young and vulnerable to me. I thought about Otto all the time. I really followed this case. When I heard he was coming back to the US, I was so happy he was getting away from NK. When I heard he passed away I was surprised. Wtf happened?! What did they do to him?! How can people hurt and abuse a completely innocent person like that?!? My heart goes out to the Warmbier's. I know it's been close to 18 months since he passed away, but at least he wont be suffering anymore. I'm glad that Otto is finally at peace.
Warmbier's, I'm so sorry for your grieve. Please think of your beloved son in paradise, whole and safe. Otto is home now, he's in that place where we all belong.
Why now? This interview stinks - why didn't the parents ask for an autopsy? DON'T GO TO ENEMY COUNTRIES. Nothing new has come out of this. Fox News is totally irresponsible publishing this at this time, as is any news organisation. This is no news. Is America encouraging a bloody nuclear war.
It's exactly as you suggest, to legitimize an attack. Operation Red Dawn: Saddam Hussein, Operation Neptune Spear: Osama bin Laden. This is the rallying call to long-term military action, ending with the capture or assassination of you-know-who. You need provocation and public support to do that.
Probably yes they’re trying to justify destroying N Korea but also why now the interview? Because it had only been three months so the poor parents probably couldn’t do the interview yet until then. I don’t know for sure, just guessing. I’m sorry and please do forgive me if this comment offends you or anyone. It’s all sick and sad.
I feel very very sorry for the parents. It was a dumb thing for Otto to do. Really in such a nation as North Korea their rules are so strict. But, he was young - and perhaps naive as to what the consequences could be. Whatever the case, no one absolutely no one deserves to go through such inhumane treatment. I don't know what North Korea did to him, but i would say to anyone stay far far away from NK.
In hindsight, I'm sure the visit to NK was something he'd rethink. But as for touching the poster and stealing it, I don't think they ever proved it was him. Video footage quality was worse than a 7-11. His 'trial' was all of an hour. He was framed for evil, political purposes.
Everyone in the comments stating this justifies military action. Ask yourselves, please, will you sign up to the military? Will you risk YOUR lives to avenge the loss of another mans life? A man who chose to go to the most dangerous country in the world, where even the residents of that country do not have human rights and ignored international advice and protocol. Or do you just want to send other men off to the slaughter to satisfy your own bloodthirsty patriotic need for revenge while sat behind your computer? Do you really think that the loss of his life justified nuclear war, the death of millions?
Joshua Potts So you’re willing to start would war 3..... and get so many people involved and killed..... for one idiot who went to a dangerous country willingly? Wow. No IQ.
Damien Seaman Thats very satanic thing to say Damien. You gotta be *holy* so you can Call of Duty your way passed North Korea’s defenses. Show the world the true bravery of the keyboard warrior!
what a wonderful family and let me tell u there are many countries and places that has no respect for human life and north korea is about the worst and they have to pay for it
This happens when you loose your sense of fear, and think everywhere is just like home. Or little different. How stupid have to be to travel to North Korea?? Stay tight in US and travel Europe London, Paris, Prague Budapest, Stockholm. That's it. Feel sorry of this poor guy. RIP
You don't move on from something like that. I hope to God that that little bastard or anybody that suffered made him suffer will go straight to hell God bless those parents and I'm so sorry to hear their last moments with her child was horrifying and I hope everyone in the USA realizes the suffering but that young man went through God bless those parents
Starla Wagoner they need to do to him what he does to others. And then just kill him after finished, meanwhile blow his country off the ace of the Earth also
Bobby O Yeah it seems like there's a lot more darker stuff going on under the surface. Also they may just be concealing stuff about his condition when he came home cause it's too painful to talk about as a parent.
There's just something very odd about this case. It would make little sense for North Korea to torture a citizen of their most powerful enemy. This wasn't the case with the other American prisoners who were sent back, all of whom weren't treated horribly and none even did a full prison sentence. The parents not requesting an autopsy is also strange. My theory is that Otto attempted suicide while in prison which deprived his brain of oxygen. His resulting condition must have scared the North Koreans so much they were too hesitant to disclose it. Either that or the Warmbiers are working with the CIA. In any case, the whole thing is confusing and these parents are flat out weird.
From what I heard that wasn't even his first time in North Korea. They failed to mention that he was Jewish when North Korea blamed the United Methodist Church. His parents claimed he was mutilated but doctors who went over his body said he was in very good condition for being bed ridden for a year. They refused an autopsy when it would have probably solved how he died. Now the parents are back in the news. Something is clearly very strange about this whole thing.
Alundaio It is strange to not want an autopsy, but it is probably a simple answer. There was likely evidence on the imaging that pointed to it being a suicide attempt, and they didn’t want an autopsy (that would be surely made public) to really establish that. They said he was mutilated because he looked so frightening to them, but of course, they were mistaken. It was easier to blame NK for every tragedy that transpired. As far aa the Methodist Church lie? Well, that confession was full of lies. American detainees in NK always have confessions they clearly did not write. Ridiculous claims, poor English. Otto’s had everything we’ve already seen before. There is just nothing credible about this being some operative coverup with Otto being an agent.
My heart goes out to the parents but seriously this is what's happening to the Liberals who don't pay attention but go abroad thinking life is the same as it is here
To the patents as a parent, I am a father of seven son's and one girl. That I love dearly and I have never lost one of my kid's but I sit here and I feel your pain. And I wish this had never happened to your son. I am from Charlottesville, Va and I may have passed your son without even knowing it. As I was always near U.V.A university. Word's can NEVER express how badly I feel for your son and both of you. As I sit here I have tears going down my face knowing you are in pain in the loss of a wonderful son. Now to North Korea. There will be a day of reckoning. And it will come VERY SOON. I hope that the pain the misery is inflicted on your country that your country inflicted on this young man and his family ten times fold. You have fucked with the wrong country. I have never wanted war but after seeing this I beg for war with YOU NORTH KOREA. I am 40 year's old but I can still run with the best. I am one hell of a shot. I can take the hair off a dog tic at 1000 yards and that's with a cheap scope just think what I can do with a top quality military rifle scope. I would love to put the cross hairs of that scope with a 50cal bmg at the top of that fat fuck tard kim un's fat head and decapitate his ass with just one shot. I am not in the military but I would give myself to the military to just have that chance. One shot one kill. That's it the war would be over. I until now have never really hated one person or any country but now I have a hate inside me that burns hotter than the son it's self. Believe me when I say this North Korea there will be a day of reckoning VERY SOON. AND I DON'T CARE WHO THIS PISSES OFF.
I don't get it. Why do people think they can go into the country of your most hated and feared enemy and expect something good? Then the self entitled goofball goes into a forbidden floor and defaces one of their hollowed symbols.This is how tragedies like these occur.
Well said he was dumb i mean there are plenty of other places in the world he could have gone to and visited. When you go to certain countries you do your research before going and making sure you understand the law and culture before even stepping in their country.
Good question. I don't believe otto was stupid. All this (probably) been planed and have a certain purpose. Or simply otto was an adventure guy and wanted to show off his law breaking skills and probably post it on social media.
"Vengeance is mine saith the Lord, I will repay." I'm so glad I serve a God who is just and all powerful! Thank you Jesus! Those who harmed Otto will have to answer to God for this. And for a poster?? Totally insane.
Everything sounds super sketchy. Obviously the court scene was staged. But even the way his parents are talking, seems acted out. Could be just me though.
I can't even put into words how horrible I feel for his parents. That is literally a living nightmare for a parent to go through. I don't think I would survive that if it was my baby boy that happened to.
He's a bright kid! Not bright enough, he lacked commen sense. But still he didn't deserve this. I hope everyone takes this as a lesson. Stay away from dangerous places and people.
Agreed. He thought he would return from NK unscathed. He made a trip to communist Cuba before deciding it was a good idea to go on a “NK Party Tour”. He was 21 years old, his parents unable make a sound decision on his behalf. I hope for his younger brother and sisters sake his parents will take ownership of providing him the money he used to support a brutal communist regime. I’m not blaming them for the injury their adult son sustained while in a country under a communist regime that brutalizes their own people. Instead of continuing attempts to assign blame, currently calling on Biden to “take action” perhaps they will acknowledge their mistake of financing a “NK Party Tour”. I don’t know their motivation in ongoing attempts to incite enemies of the United States. I hope they stop attempts to assign blame and take steps to heal privately with their children.
If the Americans could extend their respect to life to all human beings, including millions of civilians killed by Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, former Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Korea, and etc, this young man wouldn't die in vain.
They were told to stay off the 5th floor. He goes to the 5th floor and steals government property in a country that hates us. Stupid games will result in stupid prizes.
Heart wrenching to hear and watch. As a parent I wouldn't know how I'd be able to function after seeing my son in those conditions and die because of it. Yes what he did was naive but what they did to him was just monstrous. RIP
I grew up in a tyrant regime and it sucked. No internet no real TV, statues and faces wherever you go. I am sorry for your lost. I disagree with them kidnapping your late son Sir. Your son walked into the devil's den and decided to spit on it. You can not take your American attitude and apply it everywhere there are places that you need to deal with special way or else you could very well lose your life. I wish he never had gone to North Korea, it was a bad idea
NoturAvg Dude Whether if the video was fake or not, he just shouldnt have gone there in the first place when the country is widely known for being strict and using harsh punishment in order to keep order. And even if he went, the group shouldve not went to the 5th floor. That was a big mistake.
This is a cruel word we live in. We are not from this world our world is in heaven. Im glad Otto died six days later because what live is it to live if you have brain damage. Its sad what happened to him and his family but at the end it was for the best.
My heart goes out to this family and can only imagine the suffering Otto went threw. Inhuman treatment. From the UK warmest feelings to the family and peace to Otto.
In the USA...at Area 51....unmarked......if you cross the line that they tell you NOT TO....you can be detained indefinetly....or maybe disappear.... Should not mess about with their rules....no matter how twisted it may seem
@Hector Aldozar excuse me, asshole, there are many places that go unvisited with good reason, one of which is his American citizenship! Why would you go on a floor you were told not to visit, especially when you're taking a risk making this visit to be gin with. There is not comparing North Korea to Area 51, because you have enough warnings to know what the rules are, and what you're getting into. He knew better! Period!
On Sep 27, 2017 - "The Hamilton County Coroner said on Wednesday her office did not see "any evidence of trauma" to Otto Warmbier's teeth upon his return from North Korea." Father: "It looked like someone had taken a pair of pliers and rearranged his bottom teeth." Who is lying, the parents or the coroner? Because someone is! WAR PROPAGANDA?
Absoloutly. Defectors from the north have told of what happens at these camps. One described a woman prisoner being forced to drown her own baby as it wouldn't stop crying.
Something is extremely OFF with these two. I’m not particularly smart or at all perceptive but there is something INSANE, something very wrong with these people. I’ve watched everything I can find regarding this ordeal and something is unexplainable is at play here.
As horrible as this was, the only saving grace was that he had his family with him at the end of his life. I know his parents said he was deaf & blind from the torture & I'm sure he was in pain. But somewhere in the deep recesses of his mind, I'm sure he recognized the touch of his parents.
This is heartbreaking. This couple is a tower of strength...if these parents raised otto I have no doubt he would have been an amazing adult. This is so hard to watch especially when you have children.

They did something to him so he wouldn’t go back and say want he saw there.
Hector Aldozar It’s insane if you think a 15-year-year sentence for stealing a poster is a reasonable punishment. I doubt he could appreciate the consequences of that theft because he’d have never traveled there if he knew how brutal the country is.
Plus we don’t even know if he snatched that poster. The evidence is very suspect.
@@katvtay reasonable or not, thats their country and their rules. US of America, have MORE people in prisons than Russia, CHina and North Korea combined. If you dont believe me, see for yourself on official data on google. US has 320 million population, while those 3 countries together have little over 1,5billion. if we make calculation, we are coming to result that US has 5 times more people in prisons per capita than RUssia, China and North Korea combined.
Uros Kostic What is your point? He had what was coming to him? United States prisons are worse? What is the point of your whopping non sequitur?
@@katvtay US keeps saying that Russia, China and NK are countries of dictatorship, where people end up in prisons and gulags while US is 5 times worse than all those 3 countries put together. use your brain
@@katvtay my point is, there are LESS people in prisons there. no matter how good prison is, its not freedom.

@Hector Aldozar what for tearing down a fking poster lmao
Mother Wambier you are so brave. I am a mother of two sons I cannot imagine your pain.
Michelle Marie what about the father?
Michelle Marie how do you now feel when trump said he loves Kim.
Warmbier, not Wambier
hahaha... she must be proud her son was a thief. who intentionally went to another country to steal something.
They tortured him I can’t even imagine the things they did to him so sad
Didn’t Trump just say he admired Kim
He sure did. But his FANS seem to forget every twisted crap that comes out of his mouth and will continue to blindly follow him. They are idiots and the epitome of sheep.
I guess you all forget that ALL governments negotiate and Try to deal with communist evil Regimes.... remember IRAN deal !!!! Y'all Don't like it when he /Our President is being Diplomatic and Ya Dont like it when he is insulting (little Rocket man)....The ONLY real person to blame IS Obama! for being a spineless piece of flesh and not insisting they send OTTO home sooner......... ugh...
Where was he? Where was Donald Trump? Did not he say, He was so tough. DONALD IS A COWARD!!!!
Didn't ODumbo leave O there to rot?

@@LiMitZplus exactly
Praying for the brave Otto's parents for being strong enough to even talk about this. May Otto rest in peace and God bless you all!
The dad describing his sons state when he first seen him is heartbreaking
As bad as this story is, one must remember that what they did to him happens on a daily basis in N. Korea to their own people & worse.
If you listen to the testimony of people who escape from the DPRK you will understand how brutal life outside of their capital city is. Anti- Americanism is taught from birth & they live in a perpetual reliving of the Korean war. When you have a regime that in 70 yrs has actually changed the physical features of their citizens from those 50 miles away. You know some horrifying abuse is happening over a long time.
My heart breaks for Otto parents, my son is the same age and I could never imagine losing him. The way Otto died is incomprehensible so terribly sad RIP Otto.
Even with my best efforts I can’t stop my tears of grief and anger. These poor parents...
God have mercy on all of them and on us.
O my god these poor people. to lose a child in this awful manner.i hope the president show them the same mercy they show this young man !
hey how about parents in iraq, where is symphaty for them, they are in thousands, who will "show same mercy" to killers of their children, do you filthy people ever stop to think of that
you want to bring this up. but you don't want to talk about the murderers Taliban and Isis already killing these people. that is a threat to America but don't hear you mentioning that. so you take your filthy comments and keep it to yourself !
By "them" you mean the entire North Korean population?
@@destroya3303 😂 ig that's what he means
Why does this sound like it's scripted? They use the same words... Even on the other interview.
Ruby, it sounds scripted it is not. In the court of law wording is everything it affects the verdict. In lawsuits the wording put forth in the claim represents what is the breach you have experienced. When speaking about your claim it is legal common sense to reiterate or say as is, the initial wording set forth in the claim. They are in middle of or has just finished their lawsuit.
I agree, the way the father repeated his statements about north korea being terrorist state, and the overall vibe i got from the video was off putting to say the least
4 19 because they telling the truth of what happened and what they saw
It does they seem pretty fake , the way his friends act like robots
Definitely did
North Korea must be destroyed
R.I.P Otto🥀
hahahahahah... what should we do to americans then, who go around the planet killing and destroying and stealing other people's natural resources.
Nick Young
Calm down swaggy P
This makes my heart hurt literally. You could see how terrified he was in his trial. 😓
I followed this story from the beginning. I remember watching the TV when he got sentenced 15 years. His eyes looked scared and sad. It made him appear so young and vulnerable to me. I thought about Otto all the time. I really followed this case. When I heard he was coming back to the US, I was so happy he was getting away from NK. When I heard he passed away I was surprised.
Wtf happened?! What did they do to him?! How can people hurt and abuse a completely innocent person like that?!? My heart goes out to the Warmbier's. I know it's been close to 18 months since he passed away, but at least he wont be suffering anymore. I'm glad that Otto is finally at peace.
Well your decades late..🤔 Nk been doing this to thousands human citizens to date, but I know this one Ottos different 👨🏼💼
Don’t go to other peoples country thinking your American freedoms follow..
They sent him prepared so that he can have no memory of torture he faced and the forced lie confession he had to say
Exactly.... & they didn't want him to die on NK soil smh Deranged.
God bless Otto and his family. This is so sad. I can't imagine as a parent what these poor people had to go through and the horrors their son endured.
OMG I can't even. They killed that young man
Bo Zi he took a poster
@Bo Zi Shut up that security footage was so unclear and the guy seemed shorter than OTTO. North Korea set him up because they hate America.
Why in the name of God would ANYONE in his/her right mind go to N Korea?????
069220 Then proceed to a floor that's forbidden, then pull a poster of a wall,kids got the IQ of a plant
@@Kevs308 you don’t even know what happened man, you’re a plant lol
The timing of this interview is a sign that the US might be ready to attack.
agreed
Lets hope so. The world will be a better place once it's all over.
someone who gets it... thank you dmed!
We really do need a giant world war
Hello? What about the North Koreans? Its not their fault at all...
Warmbier's, I'm so sorry for your grieve. Please think of your beloved son in paradise, whole and safe. Otto is home now, he's in that place where we all belong.
Previous administrations were correct in not giving North Korea the time of day.
R.I.P. young Otto 🎖
At least he passed away here in his own country. He made it home.
R I P Otto
We are with you always . I’m so sorry
Watching from Emerald City ☔️🇺🇸
Lei R he might not even have been conscious enough to know that!
Why now? This interview stinks - why didn't the parents ask for an autopsy? DON'T GO TO ENEMY COUNTRIES. Nothing new has come out of this.
Fox News is totally irresponsible publishing this at this time, as is any news organisation. This is no news. Is America encouraging a bloody nuclear war.
It's exactly as you suggest, to legitimize an attack. Operation Red Dawn: Saddam Hussein, Operation Neptune Spear: Osama bin Laden. This is the rallying call to long-term military action, ending with the capture or assassination of you-know-who. You need provocation and public support to do that.
Probably yes they’re trying to justify destroying N Korea but also why now the interview? Because it had only been three months so the poor parents probably couldn’t do the interview yet until then. I don’t know for sure, just guessing. I’m sorry and please do forgive me if this comment offends you or anyone. It’s all sick and sad.
Hector Aldozar There isn't enough proof it was him. And even so, how heartless are you to think that he deserved that?
As my child is stationed in Guam, I’d LOVE to see N korea go up in flames 🔥 🔥
Makes my blood run cold. That poor poor family
They will pay for this.
They should pay for the wall too
You should pay for it Trevor. Yea take your fucking family to fight Kim boy. Fucking bitch
see libcucks will die defending north korea
Nope they wont
Do you accept visa or mastercard?
My condolences to his family.
I wonder how can they talk about this horrible situation soooo calmly. I’d burst into tears just in seconds
Oh God, please can North Korean government pay heavily for this.
We'll build a wall around NK, and make em pay for it
Dawn Oliver No.
Where is the continued uproar for this family.. I am ROARING FOR THOSE Parents
roar to the people who go play tourist in a dictatorship for clout, and in doing so support the regime
@@MegaTinni 👍🏾
People do realize that when you’re in another country you are subjected to their laws regardless of how ridiculous they are?
I feel very very sorry for the parents. It was a dumb thing for Otto to do. Really in such a nation as North Korea their rules are so strict. But, he was young - and perhaps naive as to what the consequences could be. Whatever the case, no one absolutely no one deserves to go through such inhumane treatment. I don't know what North Korea did to him, but i would say to anyone stay far far away from NK.
yes!!
In hindsight, I'm sure the visit to NK was something he'd rethink. But as for touching the poster and stealing it, I don't think they ever proved it was him. Video footage quality was worse than a 7-11. His 'trial' was all of an hour. He was framed for evil, political purposes.
May God help this family survive this horrific loss of their beautiful son.
Everyone in the comments stating this justifies military action. Ask yourselves, please, will you sign up to the military? Will you risk YOUR lives to avenge the loss of another mans life? A man who chose to go to the most dangerous country in the world, where even the residents of that country do not have human rights and ignored international advice and protocol. Or do you just want to send other men off to the slaughter to satisfy your own bloodthirsty patriotic need for revenge while sat behind your computer? Do you really think that the loss of his life justified nuclear war, the death of millions?
Honestly if I had to answer... yes, absolutely. ABSOLUTELY.
Joshua Potts
So you’re willing to start would war 3..... and get so many people involved and killed..... for one idiot who went to a dangerous country willingly? Wow. No IQ.

what a wonderful family and let me tell u there are many countries and places that has no respect for human life and north korea is about the worst and they have to pay for it
joking? in. ex. It is estimated that about 400,000 Vietnamese were killed by the toxic effects of agent orange, isnt worst but weirdest
These demons will have to face the judgment one day for their evil acts.
This is torture to the MAX. The only mistake he made was going to North Korea in the first place. R.I.P.
This happens when you loose your sense of fear, and think everywhere is just like home. Or little different. How stupid have to be to travel to North Korea?? Stay tight in US and travel Europe London, Paris, Prague Budapest, Stockholm. That's it. Feel sorry of this poor guy. RIP
You don't move on from something like that. I hope to God that that little bastard or anybody that suffered made him suffer will go straight to hell God bless those parents and I'm so sorry to hear their last moments with her child was horrifying and I hope everyone in the USA realizes the suffering but that young man went through God bless those parents
Starla Wagoner they need to do to him what he does to others. And then just kill him after finished, meanwhile blow his country off the ace of the Earth also
It must have been awful for them to see their son in that condition and it's probably something they'll never forget.
This is a scripted interview the story goes much deeper than this.
Sounds like it when i watched the others and went through the same comments like this. So i agree wit u
Bobby O Yeah it seems like there's a lot more darker stuff going on under the surface.
Also they may just be concealing stuff about his condition when he came home cause it's too painful to talk about as a parent.
There's just something very odd about this case. It would make little sense for North Korea to torture a citizen of their most powerful enemy. This wasn't the case with the other American prisoners who were sent back, all of whom weren't treated horribly and none even did a full prison sentence. The parents not requesting an autopsy is also strange. My theory is that Otto attempted suicide while in prison which deprived his brain of oxygen. His resulting condition must have scared the North Koreans so much they were too hesitant to disclose it. Either that or the Warmbiers are working with the CIA. In any case, the whole thing is confusing and these parents are flat out weird.
From what I heard that wasn't even his first time in North Korea. They failed to mention that he was Jewish when North Korea blamed the United Methodist Church. His parents claimed he was mutilated but doctors who went over his body said he was in very good condition for being bed ridden for a year. They refused an autopsy when it would have probably solved how he died. Now the parents are back in the news. Something is clearly very strange about this whole thing.
Alundaio It is strange to not want an autopsy, but it is probably a simple answer. There was likely evidence on the imaging that pointed to it being a suicide attempt, and they didn’t want an autopsy (that would be surely made public) to really establish that.
They said he was mutilated because he looked so frightening to them, but of course, they were mistaken. It was easier to blame NK for every tragedy that transpired.
As far aa the Methodist Church lie? Well, that confession was full of lies. American detainees in NK always have confessions they clearly did not write. Ridiculous claims, poor English. Otto’s had everything we’ve already seen before. There is just nothing credible about this being some operative coverup with Otto being an agent.
My heart goes out to the parents but seriously this is what's happening to the Liberals who don't pay attention but go abroad thinking life is the same as it is here
Blessedone333AZ that sums it up.
Yeah and Trump is good buddies with Kim Jung-un maybe he will open some golf courses up over there after his presidency and normalize things a bit.
@Jdub 5858 Um, I'm a Republican and Trump is a disgrace to the party and a traitor.

I'm glad TRUMP is President then Hillary Clinton becuse we will be dead
To the patents as a parent, I am a father of seven son's and one girl. That I love dearly and I have never lost one of my kid's but I sit here and I feel your pain. And I wish this had never happened to your son. I am from Charlottesville, Va and I may have passed your son without even knowing it. As I was always near U.V.A university. Word's can NEVER express how badly I feel for your son and both of you. As I sit here I have tears going down my face knowing you are in pain in the loss of a wonderful son. Now to North Korea. There will be a day of reckoning. And it will come VERY SOON. I hope that the pain the misery is inflicted on your country that your country inflicted on this young man and his family ten times fold. You have fucked with the wrong country. I have never wanted war but after seeing this I beg for war with YOU NORTH KOREA. I am 40 year's old but I can still run with the best. I am one hell of a shot. I can take the hair off a dog tic at 1000 yards and that's with a cheap scope just think what I can do with a top quality military rifle scope. I would love to put the cross hairs of that scope with a 50cal bmg at the top of that fat fuck tard kim un's fat head and decapitate his ass with just one shot. I am not in the military but I would give myself to the military to just have that chance. One shot one kill. That's it the war would be over. I until now have never really hated one person or any country but now I have a hate inside me that burns hotter than the son it's self. Believe me when I say this North Korea there will be a day of reckoning VERY SOON. AND I DON'T CARE WHO THIS PISSES OFF.
I don't get it. Why do people think they can go into the country of your most hated and feared enemy and expect something good? Then the self entitled goofball goes into a forbidden floor and defaces one of their hollowed symbols.This is how tragedies like these occur.
I do beilive that was Otto taking that poster
Well said he was dumb i mean there are plenty of other places in the world he could have gone to and visited. When you go to certain countries you do your research before going and making sure you understand the law and culture before even stepping in their country.
Good question. I don't believe otto was stupid. All this (probably) been planed and have a certain purpose. Or simply otto was an adventure guy and wanted to show off his law breaking skills and probably post it on social media.
"Vengeance is mine saith the Lord, I will repay." I'm so glad I serve a God who is just and all powerful! Thank you Jesus!
Those who harmed Otto will have to answer to God for this. And for a poster?? Totally insane.
Everything sounds super sketchy. Obviously the court scene was staged. But even the way his parents are talking, seems acted out. Could be just me though.
Heartbreaking. God Bless you both
I can't even put into words how horrible I feel for his parents. That is literally a living nightmare for a parent to go through. I don't think I would survive that if it was my baby boy that happened to.
Very sad indeed
Must stay away from dangerous places
People never learn, just too curious
He's a bright kid! Not bright enough, he lacked commen sense. But still he didn't deserve this. I hope everyone takes this as a lesson.
Stay away from dangerous places and people.
Agreed. He thought he would return from NK unscathed.
He made a trip to communist Cuba before deciding it was a good idea to go on a “NK Party Tour”.
He was 21 years old, his parents unable make a sound decision on his behalf.
I hope for his younger brother and sisters sake his parents will take ownership of providing him the money he used to support a brutal communist regime.
I’m not blaming them for the injury their adult son sustained while in a country under a communist regime that brutalizes their own people.
Instead of continuing attempts to assign blame, currently calling on Biden to “take action” perhaps they will acknowledge their mistake of financing a “NK Party Tour”.
I don’t know their motivation in ongoing attempts to incite enemies of the United States.
I hope they stop attempts to assign blame and take steps to heal privately with their children.
@@amandanegrete1306 very well said.
I feel like he was poisoned
He was tortured
This is genuinely upsetting
If the Americans could extend their respect to life to all human beings, including millions of civilians killed by Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, former Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Korea, and etc, this young man wouldn't die in vain.
Why no autopsy to find out what really happen?????????
Heartbreaking. I'm literally in tears
They were told to stay off the 5th floor.
He goes to the 5th floor and steals government property in a country that hates us.
Stupid games will result in stupid prizes.
Wake up America... It's time to confront evil head on!
Andrew Pecaut stop
Fuck America
screw Russia
Andrew Pecaut yes it is and that person is TRUMP
The worst mistake in his life, was thinking North Korea was a vacation spot.
I think the worst mistake was when he decided to go to that 5th floor.
Heart wrenching to hear and watch. As a parent I wouldn't know how I'd be able to function after seeing my son in those conditions and die because of it. Yes what he did was naive but what they did to him was just monstrous. RIP
I grew up in a tyrant regime and it sucked. No internet no real TV, statues and faces wherever you go.
I am sorry for your lost.
I disagree with them kidnapping your late son Sir. Your son walked into the devil's den and decided to spit on it.
You can not take your American attitude and apply it everywhere there are places that you need to deal with special way or else you could very well lose your life. I wish he never had gone to North Korea, it was a bad idea
Sherif Kaissi but no one knows if he actually stole it or not... You're taking North Korea's word for it. Lol and are their words credible?
NoturAvg Dude Whether if the video was fake or not, he just shouldnt have gone there in the first place when the country is widely known for being strict and using harsh punishment in order to keep order. And even if he went, the group shouldve not went to the 5th floor. That was a big mistake.

It's a shame that his parents didn't teach their son to obey rules and regulations. 100% avoidable.
I know
This is a cruel word we live in.
We are not from this world our world is in heaven. Im glad Otto died six days later because what live is it to live if you have brain damage. Its sad what happened to him and his family but at the end it was for the best.
I keep watching documentaries and news clips on this. My heart goes out to his parents SO MUCH.
They paid for his “vacation” to NK.
My heart goes out to this family and can only imagine the suffering Otto went threw. Inhuman treatment. From the UK warmest feelings to the family and peace to Otto.
why the interviewer hasn't asked them why was Otto in north korea?
it's not journalism, it's Fox
Over a sign 🤦 that's so messed up RIP OTTO 🙏

I will carry your son with me and never forget. I still think about him all the time. I’m so sorry.
Why go in if they asked specifically for people not too enter on the property
In the USA...at Area 51....unmarked......if you cross the line that they tell you NOT TO....you can be detained indefinetly....or maybe disappear....
Should not mess about with their rules....no matter how twisted it may seem
Yeah, true. And technically, he crossed that line in North Korea.
@Hector Aldozar excuse me, asshole, there are many places that go unvisited with good reason, one of which is his American citizenship! Why would you go on a floor you were told not to visit, especially when you're taking a risk making this visit to be gin with. There is not comparing North Korea to Area 51, because you have enough warnings to know what the rules are, and what you're getting into. He knew better! Period!
On Sep 27, 2017 - "The Hamilton County Coroner said on Wednesday her office did not see "any evidence of trauma" to Otto Warmbier's teeth upon his return from North Korea."

We will remember you for always Otto 🖤😔
As horrible as this was, the only saving grace was that he had his family with him at the end of his life. I know his parents said he was deaf & blind from the torture & I'm sure he was in pain. But somewhere in the deep recesses of his mind, I'm sure he recognized the touch of his parents.
I’m just sickened by this. Literally, sick to my stomach. My prayers have been and always will go out to the Warmbier Family.
Rip Otto Warmbier they will pay
Surprised the world leader haven’t come together and done anything about this already. In my books this is the last bloody straw!
Rule 1: don't ever visit the North Korea
I’m so sorry this happened. My heart hurts so bad for this family.
This is heartbreaking. This couple is a tower of strength...if these parents raised otto I have no doubt he would have been an amazing adult. This is so hard to watch especially when you have children.
