The 22-year-old student was returned from North Korea last week in an unconscious state after being held in a North Korean prison for 17 months.

American Otto Warmbier Dies After Being Released By North Korea | NBC Nightly News
Sad
Trump did nothing ?
yojelsonrc what’s he supposed to do? Flyover there himself and grab him doesn’t work like that, what would you do differently than trump?
Trump can’t do anything, this is a nation that could have Nuclear bombs in secret…it’s way too risky to do something, NK is such a hard place to handle not just for America but for the entire world because attack them is rolling the dice on the nuke question, could get a lot of cities in America completely reduced to ash and millions of millions of lives lost. Attacking North Korea right now is stupid, as much as we all may want to put an end to it.
@Ivbo i don’t think NK has nuclear missiles but yeah either way attacking would cost many lives Indeed
Play with fire. . . .
Take note liberals lol.
😭😭😭
North korea go down
wat a coward game played by US..NK sends him back alive, CIA recieves injects him with slow poison and murders him..puts the blame on NK..wow wat a strategy u fuckng mothrfuckrs tats..why US has become Corona epicentre now and no single case of corona in NK
I agree with north Korea
Should have never stole the banner. Period
You cant even tell if it was him in the video, its so pixelated. It didnt come to your mind thay maybe they framed him?
mrbobbilly could have been spying and gathering information.
still not an excuse for subhuman tier treatments , North korea is a shithole if there ever was one
He knew what north korea was like and should’ve known better
North Korea – civilized country? We’re not that
Lesson:
S T A Y O U T O F N O R T H K O R E A
Correct, why did he even go there in the first place?
Wow trump seems soooooo sympathetic . I am sure he genuinely cares
Honestly
He asked for it
You dont steal in North Korea, he knew what he was getting into, he just rather risk his life for a flag
His thought of getting away with it was tooooo tempting
Sorry for your loss but he asked for his outcome
How’s the taste of that boot there? Guess Kim can save up on shoe polish when you’re around.
He was going to be the coolest guy on campus if he would’ve got away with it. Savage Level 💯.
North Korea don’t play
😐😐😐
Well it’s unfortunate but knowing them as your first enemy and still go their country is even dump.
The lack of sympathy and empathy is astonishing.. if it was your brother or son that this happened to, you’d want to nuke nk for it’s astrocity
I travel overseas every year…. u have to be so careful & aware other countries laws & customs…no matter how trivial something might be
Kim Jong deserves a brutal death
He wasn’t thinking of the Korean family when he teared down that poster
King Kong what does the poster mean?
Your president prefers the regime that did this to the government that makes most of your tech
I mean who visit north korea 😑😑
This is on him
Why did you go to a famously hostile country and disrespect their rules? They may be cruel and stupid but it’s their country not yours.
One of my favourite criers.
I actually don’t know what to feel. I mean, Americans do horrible things to other nations and this guy just provoked something very bad. Stupid act wins stupid prices.
Poor kid.
Why go there anyways?
That shall teach punks not to behave like punks.
Word of advice to anyone who thinks they can travel freely just because you’re from the US. You’re no one when you get out of your country, this is the real world not some fantasy I want to travel like these people do in youtube. Taking out posters like who are you ?? To be shown as an example for anyone who wants to think North Korea is something you can meme about.
Lenkn Gomez your words show no sign or compassion or concern for a human life that got taken away in such a cruel way. And you are not even one of the torturers. As Hannah Arendt’s said: evil can be often found in the most banal human being.
Sam Rah We do live in an evil government after all.. just look around you
North Korea 👏👏♥️
What a filthy place
I would never in my life visit north korea. Pure evil!!!
you would if you’re not a cia spy or brainwashed to hate everyone who’s not american
You mean North Korea right?
@Edvarda yes. I corrected it. Thank you
Who I feel sorry for his is Family. I don’t know what possessed him for doing what he did. But He did. There GOVERNMENT is very evil Just Like Chinese Government. And Here is a thought the Korean war was didn’t end It stop on the 38 parallel a seek fire. So why would any American Citizen go to north Korea. That like walking into a cage. That as a Kodak Grizzly bear and locking the gage door. Just plain common sense would of help him RIP
Thats why we hate korea
400 years in the south
Please god see all the evil in the world and stop it like these inhumane dictators of the world! Please god!
Wtf why didn’t the USA go get him?? The MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY COULDN’T BRING BACK A AMERICAN?? Or was he not IMPORTANT??
Your “most powerful country” is only powerful against defenseless middle eastern countries.
As you white Americans say to the undocumented people “ they shouldn’t have done something illegal” so keep the same energy!!😚
Hydrogen and nuclear bombs right now and destroy NK
you can’t because north korea can nuke you too , so usa can’t
It’s soo beautiful that he died <3
Why go to North Korea????
He was lucky to get out…
“it’s a brutal regime” trump
next days shakes Kims hand
Prevented world war 3 tho. The situation isn’t really easy to deal with.
Tell me one thing …if Kim is killed with his whole family m all generals who’s gonna press the button for ww3 …
Emotions, emotions and emotions
@Nelson Cangi No one, I’d rather no have ww3
Its 2 years later…out of media and life just goes on as normal. Trump meet with kim jun un and laugh at jokes asif he understood his language.
Its stories like these that make me believe 5 years will pass and the epstein saga will be a complete thing of the past
We should of bombed north corea.
Yr y’all waiting? Let’s fkng nuke nk
That’s what you get for being stupid
Time for a civil war in NK. C’mon people! Rise up.
One reaps what he sows
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks so fake
If I were in North Korea and was one of Kim’s guards, I’d have his head on a stick as well as his family’s, even if it meant I was killed. It would be worth it.
yep that thats the american brainwashing “everyone is bad exept north america”= american life matters other dont, and he didnt just steal he was spying he’s a cia agent sent there as an ex change student , they even found spying accessories and when he got caught they said he’s a student and he’s innocent….
do as a romans do when in rome
Why is North Korea in the UN?
All around the world know North Korea is not the place to go not along steal
He got himself into this mess
He deserved to go to jail because I understand this is a horrible and disgusting country. But being murdered in your 20’s for removing a poster is right for you? I’d love to see something similar happen to you so you wake up. Don’t even come to me saying you didn’t say he diserved because that’s what you just said indirectly.
why the heck this showed in my feed after 2 years? To remind me Trump is the best friend with Kim and fall in love with him?
whats trump gonna do about it
SOCIALIST MURDERERS !!!
just stop the people usa killed are just so much kids womens elderly mens , for the sake of middle east oil
Sucks how the only thing we can do against this is instill more economic sanctions against them. That just makes the people there more poor, it doesn’t punish their leaders who deserve to die
Once again the ancient saying says: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In other words – respect culture and habbits of other nations even if you can do whatever you want in US. This kid learned it the hard way.
Even though the punishment didn’t fit the crime. Tourists are warned that committing any crime in North Korea the punishment will be extreme. He shouldn’t have stolen that poster, he would still be alive today if he hadn’t.
The Kims’ rule doesn’t deserve any respect. They are the most abase of tyrants, killing and torturing with more abandon than one can possibly imagine.
Nail on the head
he got what he deserved that s it
Biggest advice is to never go to North Korea or else you would suffer extremely.
Imagine to suffer all that torture asking yourself all you wanna do is to tour north korea and have fun with your friends turn out you have to show your self to the world and cry and beg for your life for just a stupid nonsense belief. Kim jong un should’ve assassinated in the white house
Good lesson for American millennials who think their actions have no consequences. When u go to foreign lands u need to respect the laws of that land. Ur little safe space or u twitter hashtags will not save u in the real world. Infact this should the same treatment given the people who did this.

Your idea of justice – that some poster or statue is _worth a human life_ – is inhuman. One thing can be replaced. The other can’t. ‘Nuff said.
I truely feel anger towards the North Korea’s regime for taking away someone’s life, but as a South Korean citizen who has lived my whole life next to the crazy neighbor, do not understand why people would go to there at the first place.
It is a freaking cult, so dont go toying in about.
Seriously why dont people run away from them?
If you want thrill, go try bungee jumping or to the North Pole
North Korea is a mystery for everyone & that’s what attracts them. Honestly speaking, even I’m curious about how people live there.
Kim Fat Un 😛
The look in his eyes looks like Charles Manson
This dude really thought going to a place that hates America was a good idea. His poor soul. It really does not matter what he did, no body deserves that. And to think they probably did that to him so he couldn’t tell anybody what he’d seen.
That’s on purpose, so he can’t talk about what’s happening to him
Ya you are right, I feel sad for their family
Atleast he got buried in his homeland
He is trying to cry lol
JUST LIKE HOW HE CAME HOME COMATOSE, THE LEADER OF NORTH KOREA THAT COULD HAVE SPARED HIS LIFE IS NOW COMATOSE, WILL HE SURVIVE? ONLY GOD KNOWS!!
Poisoning by Polonium-210?
Too bad the people of north Korea can’t start a revolution because they’ll get punished severely
That’s his fault
Anyone tell me what he has done?
spit on kim jung picture
What kind of sick person is kim jhong un he is evil
They just wont let him alive back to usa when he know how their system work in the prison
Something needs to be done to NK
1 death and Americans get a heart attack, do you know how many lives your countrey has taken, do you have any idea?
Do u know how many live you have taken do u ?
Trump “we will handle it”
… how has he handled it?
0:57 Natural selection
Cant say I have much sympathy for him. You don’t go into the Lions den
thank you north korea for killing another white person
I dont understand why Americans still continue to visit. You’re literally risking your life.
I do not even have words.
Their government deserves endless death.
Ahahahah This guy no lucky
OK sad but why would be steal ? Its like he dig his own grave
kkkkkkk usa where the heck is retaliation is that what americans worth
Ha trumps response is exactly what i would expect from that POS
Listen don’t go to different places thinking you can do whatever you want.
they enslave ,torture and oppress their own people, being born there is losing the lottery of life and yet no western force will liberate them as there arent any material benefits
I laugh at this, and then to see others say *Don’t go to North Korea is the lesson you take from this?* *DON’T GO TO A FOREIGN DICTATORSHIP AND BRING THAT RACIST WHITE BOY ATTITUDE*
Honestly this is just what you get when you think you can treat others with disrespect. Regardless if the Chinese/North Korean treat there citizens like dirt, who take away freedoms of speech/rights. *Hmmm, sounds similar to Trump administration*
*When Trump says it’s a harsh regime* *we’ll he’s doing the same, and listening to Putin’s* terrible advice to do so, which will set America up for invasion by neighboring forces who have *occupied the areas, which Trump withdrew the troops* from (*because let’s be honest we don’t fight for Trump*)
*I’m not condoning torture*, but that white kid from Alabama knew what *Korea and China is like; they destroy the people’s rights to freedom, censorship, speech.* So *going into a country* with such laws, to then *take down a poster and laugh about it?* Well I’m pretty sure *he’s well aware of the countries regime,* *Most of you racists make joke about it anyway* So him getting what he got isn’t a surprise at all.
*The lesson here isn’t* *Don’t go to North Korea*
The lesson is *Don’t be a facist who thinks you can impose your views on others,* just as a *dictatorship* would do. *Instead of removing bylaws for immigrants* perhaps *learn the situation their stuck in*, and *HELP THEM*
And now trump walks around shaking hands with the guy that’s responsible for this
Bomb them
why he stole did?
His dad looks kinda like Mark hamil
What if Logan Paul or Ricegum goes there?
Otto did commit a crime.
Even going.
