    There's no evidence of any physical violence. If you had listened to the press conference on Thursday, CAT Scans, PET Scans, MRI Scans and X-Rays, showed no evidence physical violence.

    Hopefully, Warmbier will serve as a poster-child for those wishing to do something incredibly stupid, like visit a hostile foreign-State known for civil rights abuses.

    I didn't say "physical violence." You did. I said "at the hands." I suspect he was malnourished very badly, and probably given harmful drugs. He suffered extensive brain damage "at the hands" of North Korean hyenas.

    Then save the speculation and wait for the autopsy results.

    ? why was he in a restricted area of the hotel

    That was the last physical time I saw Otto, ever. Otto didn't resist. He didn't look scared. He sort of half-smiled."[17] The others in his tour group left the country without incident. His crime was described as "a hostile act against the state" by the North Korean news agency KCNA.[20]

    Warmbier was tried and convicted for the theft of the propaganda banner from a restricted area of the hotel

    Obama lied, and people died. Proof that the slogan has real meaning.

    But he is right. No sane person would say such nonsense that you spread.

    North Korea is a psychotic dictatorship. How sick must you be to claim their innosence.

    But well you also claim there is a "east german" identity and that we east germans wanted to stay separate. You should visit a doctor.

    What speculation? The doctors were adamant at the press conference that Warmbier was not physically abused in any way.

    At the press conference on Tuesday, the doctors stated that the family insist that Warmbier's prognosis would not be discussed.

    That suggests that Warmbeir's prognosis was dismal. Effectively, Warmbier was brain-dead and died after being removed from life support.

    He confessed to the crime. If he hadn't been a terrorist he'd be happily at home.

    There's no evidence Warmbier was malnourished.

    Warmbeir could very well have become comatose due to botulism, by being in a state of respiratory arrest, that deprived his brain of oxygen and left him in a vegetative state.

    He died during the Trump regime. Blame him for not apologizing and making restitution to the good people of NK?

    What is being reported here is that he stole a poster, probably a student type prank, then got sentenced to 15 years of hard labour 18 months ago and was returned to the US recently and is now dead having been in a coma. He was only 22 years old.

    the dramatic video in youtube from CNN shows he confessed and begged for forgiveness* - on that basis he is guilty

    Having said that, Trump should have done as was done by the government before by negotiating for his release. Had he done so Warmbier may have gotten home before he got ill. As I wrote above, it is very sad that he got ill and died. But this was preventable.





    * note, the first video I saw of him did not show him asking for forgiveness - the second video which I saw a few moments ago did

    Fact? Lmfao. That's cute. "He was killed by the US not North Korea." You're sad.

    In Warmbiers place, I'd have said something like this at my trial-
    "North Korea is a great proud country which is why I wanted to take a holiday here, to meet the wonderful people and see the wonderful sights. I took the banner to keep as a historical souvenir to remind me of the wonderful time I had here."
