It's difficult to know exactly what a college student like Otto Warmbier was doing in North Korea a year and a half ago. I've read that he was on a tour. What tour? And why? Was college too easy for him he just had to visit this country that is notorious for coughing up fake "crimes" in order to hold Americans in prison? I mean, really. If you want to visit a country go to France for Christ's sake!
He "confessed" to the crime of stealing a propaganda poster saying he was put up to it by a member of his church who promised him money to buy a car. We know that such a confession was probably coerced.
But it does raise the question of the church connection. There have been, as I recall, several religious groups who have attempted to do "missionary" work in North Korea even though the government bans such activity. And some of those missionaries went missing, some went to prison.
Of course, fundy Christianists, will do anything for Jesus. Anything goes if it's for the Lord.
So, what's the deal?
And then, daddy Warmbier immediately praised the Trumpster and put a knock on Obama even though Obama socked North Korea with some pretty hefty sanctions after the son was put in jail.
Ironically, Otto is just the sort of person Trump says he wants to ban from this country: a religious fanatic who does not respect our country's laws.
