another set of parents burying a son always gets to me, regardless of the circumstances
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

That's a shame.
My thoughts are with his family.
I'm honestly at a loss of what further action, short of war, can be taken against North Korea.
I still think that international pressure on China to do something about their unstable ally on the doorstep is the best move. But China will likely just ignore it anyway.

and it's nothing compared to what they're doing to their own in NK

That sucks. His parents at least are able to give him a funeral. Few that have kids that die in NK's prisons are able to do that.

Horrible event. The North Koreans beat him into a coma, denied medical assistance for far too long and shipped a failing soon-to-be corpse back home.
This was intentional on their part. I was incredulous that any American has any access to North Korea - it is hostile territory, has no trade with us (which normalizes relations) and has a long history of petty barbarism towards its own people.
Whomever aids and abets visits to North Korea should be stopped and put out of business. They preyed upon their customers and exposed them to grave danger. Warmbier should be the last American the North Koreans ever get their criminal hands on.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more

Having died so quickly after returning to the US, I doubt that he was in a coma for as long as NK stated.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Trump has some fucking nerve commenting on him considering Trump implied he admired Un's swiftness on taking care of things during his run.
Same thing with commenting on the Navy distroyer. Attacks the service of two vets during his run, and is running for a party that in the past blocked 5 veterans bills.
