We could all say fuck this moron. And fuck his money-grabbing family. They should just go back to work and accept how stupid their sibling was. Shit, he should’ve known better. Am I right, guys?

I mean, maybe the OP is right. Being a moron has certainly paid off for him. Any system that allows such an imbecile to be so prosperous as to afford the technological tools to post idiotic messages on the internet certainly does pay off for morons. ---

You guys are misinterpreting the OP. He couldn’t care less about Otto Warmbier, or his family, or North Korea, or the judicial system (which even he must know can’t enforce this judgment, and will get no help presently from the executive branch). What he cares about is his/her masturbatory fantasy that someday the US will _also_ torture and murder people who cross our borders “against the rules,” like refugee women and children. The problem is, under this administration, this pornographically grotesque fantasy is becoming all too real. Quit paying attention to this fish-brained, sadistic misfit, please. ---
