Otto Weimbeir died today..

He was the young American college student who was arrested while on a guided tour for tampering with a propaganda sign. He was sentenced to 15 years hard labor. Almost immediately after his conviction he was given some medical treatment, which is not clear (in North Korea). Since then he has been in a coma (for over 1 year), unbeknownst to his family & loved ones. He was finally sent home a few days ago (with great effort from the Trump administration), he was still in a coma. He died today with his family by his side. This boy was robbed of his life, for what would be considered misdemeanor vandalism in our country. I am furious with North Korea!

I am proud and honored to be an American!

Alsmost sounds like Dennis Rodman got him released, which might be the weirdest thing I have ever typed.

His release coincided with the return of former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who is visiting North Korea this week on a trip the U.S. says is not a state-sponsored visit. Rodman has met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un several times before. This will be Rodman’s fourth visit to the nation to meet with Kim, a basketball enthusiast.

I feel for his parents, but WHY do Americans go to this country??? Its insane! To make it worse, he went to NK and then stole a propaganda poster! How could he think that was a good idea???
