Dennis Rodman Secures Release of Only White American Prisoner in North Korea
 

Yes! It's a start at least. Do you think the others will be freed as well?

Rodman has said he would trade places with Otto Warmbier, is that's what's happening and we just don't know yet?

American student Otto Warmbier released by North Korea

Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN)Otto Warmbier, an American college student jailed in North Korea, has been released after more than 17 months in detention, according to his parents.

"He is being medevacked to the US. The brutalization and terrorism the North Koreans have put upon Otto and the Warmbier family have ended. Thank God," they told CNN.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson confirmed his release in a statement, adding that Warmbier is en route to the United States.

No details on his medical condition were immediately available Tuesday.

Warmbier, 22, was detained in January 2016 at the airport in Pyongyang on his way home. His parents, Fred and Cindy Warmbier, say the University of Virginia student had been on a tour of the reclusive country.

North Korean authorities said they had security footage of him trying to steal a banner containing a political slogan that was hanging from the walls of his Pyongyang hotel.

That was used as evidence in his hour-long trial, during which North Korea accused him of committing "hostile acts" against the regime at the urging of a purported member of a church in his home state of Ohio, a secretive university organization and the CIA.

He was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years hard labor.

"Otto's detainment and sentence was unnecessary and appalling, and North Korea should be universally condemned for its abhorrent behavior. Otto should have been released from the start," said US Sen. Rob Portman, who represents Warmbier's home state of Ohio. "Fred, Cindy, and the Warmbier family have been remarkably strong throughout this ordeal. Over the last 18 months, they have had to endure more than any family should have to bear."

The news of Warmbier's release comes the same day as basketball star Dennis Rodman arrived in Pyongyang for an expected four-night visit.

When asked if he would bring up the cases of Warmbier and three other Americans detained in North Korea, Rodman told reporters, "that's not my purpose right now ... My purpose is to go over there and try to see if I can keep bringing sports to North Korea."

University of Virginia student Otto Warmbier, said to be in a coma, released from North Korea

Fat-Boy hasn't the balls to let him die on NK soil ...

They beat him into a coma and are tossing him out like garbage.

I'm suspicious of this story.

If he was CIA , saying he was in a coma the whole time gives him an out to not having to go on TV about his time in captivity.

If he wasn't CIA and Kim Jong Un liked him and squeezed him for American culture, friendship etc. (Like he does Rodman) then saying he was in a coma gives him an out for not having a story to tell.

Something fishy about bring in a coma for a year don't you think? Too convenient, and his family supposedly hasn't had contact all this time and only went public about it last month on May 3rd. See what I mean?

Look how they carry him at the end of that video ...
That video could have been pieced together over a period of time then released by the North Koreans.

The boy was sentenced March of 2016.

So he'll have no story to tell from the day the was put in jail, doesn't that seem convenient?

Isn't it convenient his family never went public about no contact with him until last month and then he's released this month?

This has CIA written all over it don't you think?

They aren't carrying him out at the end, he's walking in his own and their hands aren't in his armpits holding him up, they are lower, indicating no weight on the guards.

Just wondering Bladeboy, do you tweak all night long; is that what causes you to be so delusional?

How do you figure Rodman had anything to do with it? Meth head reasoning?

Your reading comprehension is glaringly deficient. Also, I don't do drugs other than homegrown pot and I rarely smoke. We know you're an alcoholic and nasty when hungover, and nastier when drunk, you post here in both states of altered conciousness. I feel bad for you to be filled with such hate but you've created the nightmare you live in.

I'll have to see the body to believe it. If he's emaciated etc, then it's more believable but if they don't show him , and he miraculuosly​ awakens, and he looks like he did before, would be suspicious.

Well, the plane is on its way here ...

This seems to be the case. How ever horrible.

While I hate to turn this into a political issue, I wonder what Trump is going to do now. An American citizen was arrested for no reason and nearly beat to death, and is in a coma.

That's why his North Korean captors may have shipped his ass out fast -- not to die on NK soil and become a rallying cry for military action.

I am quite sure he wouldn't steal again.. :winkwink:

Arrested for no reason? I guess this is another article you didn't read but decided to comment on.

His release happens the exact same day as Jeff Sessions is getting grilled :2 cents:

Man, what a nightmare.

If I had to make a choice to do 15 years or get botulism; then I think I'll take the 15 years.

Do you really believe he got botulism and has been in a coma for a year? Doesn't that seem far fetched & convenient?

North Korea always releases America prisoners with long sentences within 1-3 years

:thumbsup:thumbsup

OMG you are a senile old man.

He was accused of stealing a propaganda banner which he in fact did not steal. The day before his fight he removed the banner from a wall in his hotel, but did not leave the room with it, nor did he take it anywhere. He was arrested the next day. The banner was not on him or in his luggage. It never left the original room the banner was hanging in. He did not physically steal anything.

well the USA sure fucked up asia

ask the japs/viet/cambodians/koreans

oh and the middle east...

oh and south america...

oh and europe...

and parts of africa too...

Didn't you say a USA soldier fuckup your asshole in a USA government building somewhere too?

because he is the only link between your Fuhrer and N. Korea, "Paul".. or you think trump sent fat boy an email with free coupons to his buffet in vegas and in return Kim traded for sick american boy?
Jesus, you numb cases in red hats.

No I avoid us gov buildings because of the homosex

All doing just fine. Especially Japs and Koreans. Perhaps if you gypsies concentrated on working not raping, you too might have had world class economy. Instead, you are sex tourism heaven for German pervs. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Social security office. :1orglaugh Black parolee named DeQuan.

The whole thing reeks of fake. The "plea" the "escorting" "Dennis Rodman the cross dressing savior"

Precisely! Something's amiss and I intend to get to the bottom of it 😏

I can scratch your itch bro ✌️👾

The just unloaded him off the plane

Not convinced. I need to see closeup and clear footage. It is sounding more like this reality though, really fucked up if true.

Otto Warmbier Suffered 'Extensive Loss Of Brain Tissue,' No Sign Of Botulism

Otto Warmbier, the U.S. student freed this week after more than a year in North Korean detention, sustained "extensive loss of tissue" in all parts of his brain, his doctors say.

Warmbier has remained in a coma since his return, suspended in a state "best described as unresponsive wakefulness," Daniel Kanter, head of the neurocritical care program at University of Cincinnati Health, told reporters at a news conference Thursday.

Trump claims responsibility lol yea right.

Trump called Rodman and ask him to use his contacts to get thing done:winkwink:
