And then he was tortured for the rest of his life by the North Korean Military Regime
Spectacularly poor decision with consequences he had not BEGUN to understand. Go after him? US? If your buddy leaps into a volcano do you jump after him? NO! No, no deals, North Korea, you just….. go and keep him.
Honestly, does anyone care about this? Like really??
He better know how to play 🏀 well. That’s his only chance at possibly serving
He might be so curious about how cruel NK would be…he might want to “check it out myself” mind
Is that a he or she ?
Running full gas, what a phrase 😂😂😂
Remember OBOZO traded the the deserter Bergdaugh for a group of murderous Taliban commanders. Even Dementia Biden traded a pothead basketball player for the world’s number one murderous arms trader. No wonder why the world is laughing at these leftist leaders in the US always protecting mass murderers.
😂😂
He might have heard from his grandfather how slavery was. So now he wanted to experience it all by himself for the rest of his life.
he literally ran onto a black hole if he gets back from it he might be not the same anymore
Its so hot in El Paso, he chose North Korea over Fort Bliss.
NKpop fans are crazy.
This does seem a little out of context?
Look like he want to feel what slavery was for is self 🤔
Good for him 🙂
Bro really likes anime
No he just loves the NK haircut.
He’s lucky you didn’t get shot obviously that poor guy who stole the poster yeah you’re playing with more than death on that one
It’s not a physical border, why can’t he just come back
Maybe he tried to commit suicide? They shoot once you cross some invisible border in no-mans land.
Is he black , he will be ok . He will find BLM in NK and they will make sure he gets his freedom 😂. He get the chance to burn NK flag , and he will get his American right there . 😂.
I would of ran there to I hate it here in America id go fight for any country who is against America
How many black guys are there living in N Korea?
She thought it was JiDion.
Its bad in America when you run to north Korea all she can come up with is tic tok b pleease
Glad it amused her 😅 she wanted to burst into laughter throughout that interview…
Black guy really liked those commies.
Nope
They can have him
And?!? What happened to him???
Doesn’t have to worry about starting a riot for calling someone the wrong pronoun anymore at least…
She said he was all in black and then said he had tshirt and jeans???
The tshirt and jeans must have been black
Pay the Kings Ransom
Death wish?
He thought Kim will take care of him
He probably was trying to make a tik tok lol
We of the American delegation disown him. He has voluntarily taken up North Korean citizenship
Get ready for his tearful confession to 100 crimes against the hardworking Korean people sometime this month. And him pleading for the US to save him.
The us military can no longer properly vet these violent, silly bandits. He had done something stupid in SK. The US may want him back for the optics and for military security. But, let him stay.
those are my intrusive thoughts every time I see a border
Never Forgotten Otto🙏 my God unbelievable😮 like l said never forgotten Otto W.🙏🙏
Not that surprising, any time two nations are at odds with each other criminals from either side will defect for asylum.
Does anyone know why or whats his status as of now?
Wild
South Africa ANC goverment has the same low IQ and need to follow sute asap.
So he was in full black. Pants and a shirt. Not a military uniform right? (Sometimes it’s called something else that U.S. soldiers wear.) I’m saying uniform. Now, I’m thinking hr was released from that detention center and just went walking. And sometimes while he was walking, decided that he was going to cross the border. But, I watched another video, and it seems like, he was still enlisted in the U.S. Military even though he was in that detention center. The comments some of you are leaving are pretty mean by the way. You hope we don’t trade for him? What’s a lot of food for someone brought back to their home country? What if he was scared, that’s why he went to North Korea. What if he was you? The mena comments and not so kind words being said are up today. God bless all of you. I hope he returns safe. I’m glad it’s not any of you people.
Thanks witness 🤟
If Barack Obama had a son he’d be just like Travis.
hmm kinda drastic
Why would any sane person want to go there? Remember what happened to Otto? They murdered him. America tourist, but, nobody else sane would do what he did. He stole a poster off the wall at the hotel he was staying in, which is a high crime in N Korea.
He was promised a role in a propagandist movie where he will play with other Americans the bad guys. They are treated very well and have a comfortable life.
Quick somebody trade another major communist arms dealer for another major loser.
Leave him. Forget about him. Don’t even say his name. Don’t give NK even a cent for him.
That shows how stupid all this politics really is
Wonder what’s happening to this guy right now? Any thoughts?
Not the first and wont be the last.
Breaking news: the United States has traded for Megatron for US soldier that ran into NK.
Typisch Green goes white black or trans they’r crazy people psychos…
7 months from now, North Korea will send him back in a vegetated state
He’s regretting it now
I read he just got out of a South Korean jail and he was escorted to the airport to go to America for another sentencing. Guess they didnt make sure he got on the plane. I say leave him there.
Leave him to rot in North Korea. The over entitled bum had it too good in the United States. 🤣😂
How did he know he was North Korean? If it was Kim Jun Ung, he will be applauded…
Thoughs and prayers, our hearts go out to the family of those affected, it is time for healing.
He is hero
There must be a Russian arms dealer the US wishes to release. They just don’t send their citizen, let alone a Marine, to the Commies for nothing.
There is a precedence.
Its been proven he is a North Korean spy that was implanted into the U.S. military. Never underestimate little Kim.
So absurd watching this in the news. My friends and I just thought. Can he possibly just saw Seth Rogen’s THE INTERVIEW movie? Maybe he thought it was just that easy in NK.
I bet we give up nukes and several war criminals for him back
Let the Norks keep him.
He must really like North Korean food.
This guy though North Korea was just like South Korea and they would simply put him on a plane back home. Boy was he wrong
What is this dude going on about?
Some people (at least I do) have a strange, irrational urge to jump when looking down from a height.
Bro probably gave in to the bug in our brains.
Ma chinigga
Unless he knows something classified, I say, he gets what he deserves.
They didn’t catch him because he was black why do y’all ignore the obvious and he was racing Asians.
That man didn’t want to get kicked out of the military and possibly be arrested and sent to jail for assaulting 2 South Koreans
New tittle absolute psycho wants to go starve with no plumbing, medicine, electricity! In NK
Edit: is there any proof this so real?
he gotta be a Democrat
A Bernie Sanders’ bro
Americans 😂😂😂
Why is this the person we have talking about this lol
What if NK is a utopia and we’re all under a authoritarian regime?
They’ll send him back. He has no value and not the sort of American NK can exploit politically.
The most dumbest stunt anyone has ever done. He sure wasn’t happy with his democratic government that he decided to become a traitor in the most dumbest way.
We had a runner a proud American soldier, how can he be found guilty when cocaine is found on the Oval Office and nobody knows how it got there
Wait he was a US soldier
He must of killed somebody and was running away from American government
He probably trying sale US intelligence
Himself, mental⁉️Passive, suicidal. Prayers of peace and comfort for his family.🙏💞We cannot continue to expect our country to come to our aid everytime we act stupid in a foreign nation. Especially, NK. We, try, but….
He literally defected! Went Awol, because he’d be court marshaled after shipping back to US. He was imprisoned in SK, probably because he misbehaved in one way or another!
Leave him there and send Brittney Grinder back to Russian prison
Wow!
WHO CARESS HE WAS A LOSER!!!
Let him go who needs him🥱
i hate women who aren’t mothers.
Fake news
As a Transgender Vegan Mongolian, I feel bad for the animals in North Korea.
