@Klaa2 I think they did not beat or lay a hand in him, his autopsy report didn't show signs of beating. I think he may be drugged at first but his deformities and brain damage might come from consistent electric shock maybe drilled the connection from his right foot thus leaving a scar. It is really heartbreaking though. really inhuman...
There is no evidence of physical torture. The coroner who examined Otto's body in Cincinnati said "We believe that for somebody who had been bedridden for more than a year, that his body was in excellent condition, that his skin was in excellent condition." They found no signs of physical torture even though they specifically looked for it.
It is “Otto” sound like a white privileged name but he forgot that North Korea doesn’t give a fuck about his white privilege so they took him out America wouldn’t wont some Korean kid doing that so why is this a problem he’ll learn in his next life
That of the matter is the guy stoled sth which they did not like it period... If he was that good guy why is he stealing it and his family should say thx to Dennis to see their son back...

I had Dennis Rodman on a flight a few years after he retired. He had a reputation for being EXTREMELY difficult in airport security and at the gate. He was demanding, rude and made our boarding process hazardous by sticking his legs out into the 1st class aisle as passengers were trying to walk passed him in order to get to their seats. He harassed the flight crew for more alcohol during pre-departure and had a poor attitude when it came to basic safety regulations. We had to stop the aircraft twice on the tarmac when he 1st refused to end his cell phone call as the safety demonstration was taking place and then again when he chose to get up to use the toilet while on an active taxiway. When he was told he was delaying all the passengers with his noncompliance, he replied “F*ck You and everyone else on this plane!” I can’t say I’m surprised to see he is friends with that disgusting NK tyrant.
Raising Cain, interesting story. Thank you for sharing. I’d imagine by his large frame of 6’8” 250lbs, that most people are going to be physically intimidated (rightfully so) by him to call him out with his BS and mix that with his “celebrity” status, Rodman probably gets away with a lot.
The people who think NK is a good place are the kind of people who enjoy fantasizing about being dictators. It's a whole other level of narcissism. They want to be the king of their castle and we all just bow down to them. Disgusting mentality
@@NubiansNapata I mean you do I mean it’s a good human being (just like you) Otto went to study to another country and wanted to experience culture of other human cultural background, that what he wanted to do. He could have had a impact into many lives but North Korea took that away. They took his life away at 21 years old what type of fucking monster does that
How is Dennis Rodman a troll? He's a basketball player and just wants to teach some civilians in north korea how to play. you never know, through basketball dennis rodman might bring peace between north korea and america. And about Otto, Im sure Dennis had something to do with it because on the same day that Dennis came back to north korea, Otto was released. Oh what a coincidence if it had nothing to do with it.
Leendoncasti but he is friends with the bigest PEACE OF SHIT of the planète thats not normal he is pal with a Guy that kills people for a living for any reason like if somebody dosent like his haircut he Will be executed WTF !
Obey the law and u'll be allright .. that's what white people say to african americans everytime a white racist officer shot a black man 😂😂😂😂 ... he wanted to be a thug ... they gave him sextoys in his ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't use Rodman as a scapegoat. The kid went to NORTH KOREA, a country that everyone knows is FUCKED up and ruled by a dictator, and then he breaks a law (theft) under this same criminal regime. Otto FUCKED UP BIG TIME. Did he deserve death? Nope, and I feel for his family but you can't blame fucking Rodman. (I'm not a body language expert, but i'm a bullshit expert and I think Rodman is telling the truth about him not knowing the kid was sick/ in a coma.) RIP Otto. On the side not, Strahan did a great job interviewing. ABC should take him off that lame ass morning show and let him to more interviews like this.
Ludwig,I hear you and I agree Rodman might not of known but here's another scenario. The North Koreas KNEW what they did to this kid and they sent the kid home with Rodman as a message!
i have been to Pyongang and Kaesong, both in N. Korea. When you land, you have tourist guides who tell you what and what not to do. You can't wonder the city without them , the only place you are alone is in the hotel room.
Otto seemed like a very nice and smart young man, who was going places in life upon graduating college. I'm heartbroken for his parents and family. As a dad I couldn't imagine seeing my son in national TV from across the world begging for his life. I'm a man that doesn't get to emotional but I cried my eyes out for him and his family. Makes me really appreciate being a American living in Detroit Michigan for 50 years.
Michael straham is really good at this job I must say. He went from having a hall of fame football career to a great non sports media career. Nice transition.
Rodman had 'nothing', 'zero' to do with the release of anyone including his side kick saying he had something to do it. What a sad situation, completely unjust
No there’s definitely proof. I mean after taking the stand all he said was it was the worst decision of my life therefore he kind of told on himself but idk..
Ayman Ayman What you are saying is not proof by anyones standards, not even in North Korea. The proof that North Korea presented was surveillance footage where it is impossible to see or identify the person in it and a forced and badly scripted confession. They took him because they wanted an american hostage. What happened after that is strange though because they have eventually released their hostages after embarassing them.
Karen Reed this is not true. He had a huge scar on his foot, it was said brain tissue was removed, he was blind, deaf, his bottom teeth had been removed and tortured with pliers. This kid was experimented on, this kid underwent horrific torture
The story of Otto Warmbier's death is one of the most agonizing and cruel stories that I have ever heard! The insanity and inhumanity is unfathomable! I wish peace for his family and for his spirit ❤
North Korea is a very bad place, and Ottos’ story is very sad, but he obviously did not have any common sense. Like your in a country like NK, which one why are you even there, and you try to steal something? The dude lacked sense but rip
He didn't try to steal anything. There's literally no evidence other than the super grainy video that North Korea gave to push their political agenda. He was in his hotel room the whole time according to his roomates but North Korea does not have any justice system
@@user-jj9xt5km7l The amount of excuses people make while they are in denial is astonishing! He was a typical dumb American that thought the US owns the world and he can do whatever he want.Not only he was stupid enough to visit a fascist country which there is no justice or freedom but he was dumb enough to go steal a propaganda poster of Korea's leaders no less that they treat as gods probably to use it as a trophy to flex on his friends back home.What was he thinking? None deserves treatment and an end like like this.He gets caught right handed stealing with video evidence ,don't make shit up.
Rich it's a lot, lot more complicated than how you're describing it. Those people that are worshipping him? They're brainwashed. They're being held captive by an increasingly brutal regime. It doesn't work just bombing them. Trust me, I hate that regime as much if not more than you. But there are millions of people who innocent in this and there are also thousands of North Korean soldiers ready to rush the border and take on South Korea. You DO NOT want to even imagine the kind of warfare that would take place under this disgusting regime.
Obey the law and u'll be allright .. that's what white people say to african americans everytime a white racist officer shot a black man 😂😂😂😂 ... he wanted to be a thug ... they gave him sextoys in his ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should check out his childhood story. The rejection, oppression, and bullying he endured by his fellow White American/ And His Fellow Black American. It's safe to Kim was probably his first "Friend"
They are the 4th largest military in the world and China has their back... Because nations are attached to other nations it would likely cause ww3 and send us back to stone age. Korea pretty much beat us in the Korean War, we didn't gain control over north korea then... they are strong people
Same reason fools go to Afghanistan and Syria, they believe the CNN/ABC/ Al Ja zebra bullshit about the legitimacy of these thugs. The parents of this Otto obviously are totally insane, who raises such a dumb kid?
Take a look at crime in the US ghettos. If ran the risk of being executed for robbing a store or beating up someone, you’re not going to do it. We are way to lenient on criminals in the U.S.
I'm 100% convinced Otto tried to take his own life in prison by hanging. His brain injury is consistent with same type of injury you would get from a unsuccessful suicide attempt by hanging. That's why no autopsy.
My brother was a U.S. Marine. And, he specifically said. "When you are in another country, your obligated to follow their rules, regulations and guidelines and if you don't, it's not a guarantee that the U.S. is going to get involved with that countries laws." It's plain and simple. As far as Rodman. I don't think it's his fault that NK does want they do, or that Otto experienced what he experienced. I'm not going to speculate why Kim is friends with Rodman. But, I will say that I pray that Otto's family has peace and that whatever Rodman is trying to accomplish it's for the good of this country and the world.
Death and a sentence of 17 years of hard labour isnt a fair punishment for taking a poster, regardless of the country or culture. He deserved to be fined, not killed.
I agree! But, as I said, American rules and punishments is different in third world countries. You just can’t go into another country and try to prove a point and expect their laws to be like the USA! That’s all I’m saying.
Sure, he went on the 5th floor and he shouldn’t have, but he wasn’t the only one either. They did not have PROOF that it was him “stealing” the poster. The video was blurry, shitty, and in b&w, it could literally have been ANYBODY. No face no case! They just used their prejudices and their dictatorship to punish an American without really investigating who else possibly could’ve done it. So what you mentioned about following another county’s rules/regulations in this case, for the most part, is irrelevant.
Someone said in the comments said that they must have drugged him for him to lose control of his emotions.... NO ONE would be lacking emotions at that point, lying to everyone saying that your a spy and talking about your family..... that makes no sense. That is an extremely scary circumstance. He was very coherent and focused on his words
My niece went to UVA with Otto and he she told me that he was extremely ambitious. He was her lab partner. He was also in a fraternity. Otto was looking for troubles. He wanted to impress his frat and his friends. Unfortunately, he paid the price for it. The excitement cost him his life.
Rodman is clearly a nut job. To suggest that he contributed to Warmbier’s release is a very cheap diversion and a total fabrication.. He had absolutely nothing to do with it!
It frustrates me that his parents did not want an autopsy done... that could have given a lot of important information about what happened to Otto during the time that he was detained and some knowledge of how he was truly treated. Tragedy that it ended the way it did, poor guy. RIP.
Electricity torture most likely. After enough time the electricity fucks with the brain functionality and central nervous system. He was electrocuted to the point where they fried his brain.
Obviously his parents was not stable enough to make the right decision regarding autopsy as they try to sue North Korea later and when denying autopsy earlier they talk about that he had already suffer enough as they seem to believe that people still feel something after death? Anyway I think is very hard for the parents to get anything when Sweden has still not get paid for all old/legacy Volvo cars they sold to this country decades ago and still reminds about twice a year
Optimism and courage have a critical corollary, no person can be brave without being afraid, and 'optimism' is wreck- less ignorance without common-sense.
Rodman is probably trying to get out of the spotlight as much as possible, trying to evade the questions as much as he can to avoid getting burned. One wrong answer and it could have him getting kidnapped and tortured. What most people from free societies don't understand is that in dictatorships, one wrong word, one blink, one smile, one laugh can cost you your sanity, your life and the life of your family.
+Sam Aviles No, they don't, especially if they live in middle class to affluent neighborhoods. They live in a bubble of protection that shields them from the rest of the world. They take for granted the freedom they have. Look at how so many people in the USA have a positive view of Socialism and Communism. Look at how so many of them cheered when Bernie Sanders announced that he wanted a "redistribution of wealth". They don't understand that rising wannabe-dictators usually mask themselves with nice-sounding programs. It happened in Russia, it happened in China, it happened in North Korea, it happened in Cambodia (read Pin Yathay's story), it happened in Venezuela, Brazil and so many other countries. And yet, despite such examples, US citizens who are so enclosed in their bubble of security want to experiment with Socialism. They don't appreciate or understand the freedom and prosperity they have.
*@Bat'el : your conservative bias greatly clouds your judgment if you're likening Bernie Sanders to a brutal dictator at all. That's asinine on multiple levels. Sanders is just pushing for the same legislation that every other First World country has.*
Bat'el Shimoni :::: What middle class? You mean entitled snowflakes that think of nothing but professors Spin's college class Socialism 101and how great it would be.
Dennis Rodman sang happy birthday to you to Kim Jon Un. As a witch Rodman knows perfectly what happened with Otto. He knows that Otto was given certain substances that destroyed his brain. Dennis is a servant of Satan. Otto didn't do anything, everything was planned in advanced to give Donald Trump a lesson. About North Korea, this is a country where Satan rules. North Korea, China and Cuba launched the Coronavirus attack: michaelgchandler34blog.wordpress.com/
This story is beyond sad. Otto was a amazing human and what North Korea did too him was sick. That wasn't him on that video taking that poster down, pay attention it's NOT HIM, THAT WAS A WAY TOO GET HIM....OTTO WE WILL ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOU EVEN THO WE REALLY DON'T KNOW YOU, WE KNOW UR STORY.....Long Live Otto!!!!
Thank God Dennis Rodman found favor with Kim and could help get Otto released. No one criticize Dennis. He used his fame for good. You can do a lot of good when your enemy thinks you're his friend.
People need to be more compassionate - yes he was in another country and should obey the laws, but no one should die for that and no one should be tortured like that. He might not have had bad intentions when he removed the poster. The people responsible for what happened to him are barbaric, with no regard for human life. It's so sad that he will probably never get any justice :(
They 100% believe he didn't remove that poster and was coerced into the confession. He was out with friends at a party and arrived around 3am. Poster was taken over an hour before.
@@DB-xo6xh u cant see anything clear in that video if the poster was important they wouldnt leave it without security it probably wasnt stolen at all they made it up
This is so sad. Especially since he didn’t do it too. In that case since NK was just framing him, if it wasn’t Otto it wouldn’t been another one of his students that was framed
His friends are clearly distressed by what happened to a friend of theirs. He did not deserve to die. All those people who lined the street such a wonderful thing to do.
@@bishplis7226 i dont even think he stolen a poster at all,u cant see anything on the video they probably kidnap him as hostage and kiled him so he wouldnt tell the truth
Wasn't him in the photo. Otto has two pairs of shoes with him on that trip, tan colors moccasins and grey Nike's. Man in the video was clearly wearing black boots of some kind. Something North Korean men all typically wear.
I'm glad the kid was released and very sorry for Otto and his family. As for Dennis he probably thinks he did a good thing and maybe he had something to do with it but he is an absolute mess.
If you go to North Korea you should know everything you shouldn't do over there, but removing or trying to steal a poster of their party or leader? You can't pass this off as the kid didint know he'd be in trouble for doing it. Sad he died but can you feel really bad for a person that jumped into a cage full of bears knowing full well what could happen? And the fact Rodman is trying to say he played a part of this is bullshit and he's just trying to get more time in the spotlight. I've been to North Korea for 2 weeks and did my research before I went, I listened to their rules and had a fun time besides not being able to go places you wanted or talk to locals like you wanted, but at the end of the day I got to see something most people don't in person and had no harm to myself, I even paid respect to the statues of their leaders and watched as people did so as well but could tell most of them weren't happy and looked trapped. But I kept it to myself in my head until after I got back stateside and never once brought up any bad words or political sides while there. Food was good and seeing the stores that foreigners and diplomats are allowed in was interesting vs what the local markets looked like, you could tell they tried putting on a front to make everything look better then it was
Adam 7 You can definitely still feel bad for someone who lost their freedom and life for something as innocuous as "stealing" a piece of paper. An injustice such as that is still an injustice and extremely sad regardless of what part of the world it occurs or how much you feel the victim deserved it.
Juses Crus You're right, it shouldnt be in quotations. Removing it is definitely stealing, though I doubt he was doing it in order to sell it or make some sort of profit from it, but yeah you're right.
Adam 7 That was a genuine & honest feedback. It says a lot. Hidden cameras on documentaries shows what you're talking about precisely. I feel bad for the people of North Korea & sad for their government. Any Leader who needs THIS MUCH pride, is often bottled & know his time is numbered.
I have no way of knowing of whether or not he attempted to steal the banner, poster or whatever it was. Assuming he did, It is was an unwise thing to do and would get you more punishment than you would otherwise receive, probably anywhere else in the world. However, by you making the statement that you did, it means that on some level you justify what the regime did to him over such an insolent act. A15 year sentence of hard labor that led to his ultimate death.
chantelle it has nothing to do with the fucking poster. He died because he traveled to a country we have NO diplomatic relations with. NO US embassies in. A country we are at war with. A cease fire does not mean a peace treaty. He died because North Korea is the enemy of America and Americans.
“They never say yes, they never say no, Otto was in a Coma, and they didn’t want anybody to know”, ok I know this news is serious, but I just totally lost it from that Line 😂

I had Dennis Rodman on a flight a few years after he retired. He had a reputation for being EXTREMELY difficult in airport security and at the gate. He was demanding, rude and made our boarding process hazardous by sticking his legs out into the 1st class aisle as passengers were trying to walk passed him in order to get to their seats. He harassed the flight crew for more alcohol during pre-departure and had a poor attitude when it came to basic safety regulations. We had to stop the aircraft twice on the tarmac when he 1st refused to end his cell phone call as the safety demonstration was taking place and then again when he chose to get up to use the toilet while on an active taxiway.

@@NubiansNapata I mean you do I mean it’s a good human being (just like you) Otto went to study to another country and wanted to experience culture of other human cultural background, that what he wanted to do. He could have had a impact into many lives but North Korea took that away. They took his life away at 21 years old what type of fucking monster does that
Ask a local freak,he will tell you what otto goes through
Dennis Rodman has always been a total troll.
How is Dennis Rodman a troll? He's a basketball player and just wants to teach some civilians in north korea how to play. you never know, through basketball dennis rodman might bring peace between north korea and america. And about Otto, Im sure Dennis had something to do with it because on the same day that Dennis came back to north korea, Otto was released. Oh what a coincidence if it had nothing to do with it.
Leendoncasti but he is friends with the bigest PEACE OF SHIT of the planète thats not normal he is pal with a Guy that kills people for a living for any reason like if somebody dosent like his haircut he Will be executed WTF !
Being a basketball star is not making you a good person! PERIOD!
He's actually a CIA agent, I trained with him at Fort Meade
that cry bro
This story just literally hurts my heart. RIP Otto & may your family & friends find some peace & healing.
How full of himself he is to have his name on a t-shirt? 🤣🤦🏻♀️
I know righ? probably because is Kim Jong buddy
Rodman: 'I don't look at the political side about him'
also Rodman: 'I'm a controversial person, I love it.'
He is clearly an egotist.
Obey the law and u'll be allright .. that's what white people say to african americans everytime a white racist officer shot a black man 😂😂😂😂 ... he wanted to be a thug ... they gave him sextoys in his ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't use Rodman as a scapegoat. The kid went to NORTH KOREA, a country that everyone knows is FUCKED up and ruled by a dictator, and then he breaks a law (theft) under this same criminal regime. Otto FUCKED UP BIG TIME. Did he deserve death? Nope, and I feel for his family but you can't blame fucking Rodman. (I'm not a body language expert, but i'm a bullshit expert and I think Rodman is telling the truth about him not knowing the kid was sick/ in a coma.) RIP Otto. On the side not, Strahan did a great job interviewing. ABC should take him off that lame ass morning show and let him to more interviews like this.
AGREED!!!
Ludwig,I hear you and I agree Rodman might not of known but here's another scenario. The North Koreas KNEW what they did to this kid and they sent the kid home with Rodman as a message!
lol wut No, he didn't. You're a piece of shit.
lol wut eeewww you are disgusting 💩 we smell your filth from miles away! 🖕🏻
i have been to Pyongang and Kaesong, both in N. Korea. When you land, you have tourist guides who tell you what and what not to do. You can't wonder the city without them , the only place you are alone is in the hotel room.
Are Dennis and Kim low-key a thing?
@Luke Stallard can you spot a joke? Or are you doinf sarcasm?
Nevermind. I wooshed when you said "get off their case."
ThAts what i was thinking
Well Rodman used to parade around in a wedding dress 🙄
Lil Kim belong to Trump....he said they were in 😍
Not a low key thing at all. Kim and Dennis are high key 💯
Otto seemed like a very nice and smart young man, who was going places in life upon graduating college. I'm heartbroken for his parents and family. As a dad I couldn't imagine seeing my son in national TV from across the world begging for his life. I'm a man that doesn't get to emotional but I cried my eyes out for him and his family. Makes me really appreciate being a American living in Detroit Michigan for 50 years.
You’re not smart if you go to North Korea.
Rest In Peace…
A smart young man doesn't do the stupid things he did to get himself killed
Yeah Stealing a Propaganda Poster in North Korea, out of all places. Is obviously a Smart Move.
Well he ain't that smart 🤓
Michael straham is really good at this job I must say. He went from having a hall of fame football career to a great non sports media career. Nice transition.
Rodman had 'nothing', 'zero' to do with the release of anyone including his side kick saying he had something to do it. What a sad situation, completely unjust
There's not proof of him stealing, it only shows a person taking the poster and u can't even tell it him
It's possible it could have been a set up.
No there’s definitely proof. I mean after taking the stand all he said was it was the worst decision of my life therefore he kind of told on himself but idk..
AleJandroLeal3 how do you know?
Ayman Ayman exactly North Korea ain't a place to fuck around
Ayman Ayman What you are saying is not proof by anyones standards, not even in North Korea. The proof that North Korea presented was surveillance footage where it is impossible to see or identify the person in it and a forced and badly scripted confession.
They took him because they wanted an american hostage. What happened after that is strange though because they have eventually released their hostages after embarassing them.
Dennis : this isnt Jackie chan?
Kim : This isnt Obama?
🤣🤣🤣
I have no Words. I would to take off on a tangent about how I feel about this. But I can't. RIP.
What a stupid field trip organized by university
It wasnt a university
It wasn't the University. He saw a poster about trips to north Korea and he went and applied to go on that trip.

I bet they drugged him, so he couldn't say anything, when he came back
Джейсон Хичкок k, didn't think of that. Mainly because I don't really care about this case. And yeah, I like what you said tho. Fax
Джейсон Хичкок who cares, he was just a regular kid for all we know. Nothing bad about crying in a serious situation.
Lilrice ummmm.. No they beat him and tortured him to the point of brain dead.. So he wouldn't talk.
@Karen Reed Yes you are correct. I actually did not know that when I made that comment. HOWEVER, I do believe he was tortured in other ways..
Karen Reed this is not true. He had a huge scar on his foot, it was said brain tissue was removed, he was blind, deaf, his bottom teeth had been removed and tortured with pliers. This kid was experimented on, this kid underwent horrific torture
That story touch everybody in the world because it can happen to every people your brother, father, son ... So injust and so tragic
The story of Otto Warmbier's death is one of the most agonizing and cruel stories that I have ever heard! The insanity and inhumanity is unfathomable! I wish peace for his family and for his spirit ❤
North Korea is a very bad place, and Ottos’ story is very sad, but he obviously did not have any common sense. Like your in a country like NK, which one why are you even there, and you try to steal something? The dude lacked sense but rip
He didn't try to steal anything. There's literally no evidence other than the super grainy video that North Korea gave to push their political agenda. He was in his hotel room the whole time according to his roomates but North Korea does not have any justice system
@@user-jj9xt5km7l The amount of excuses people make while they are in denial is astonishing! He was a typical dumb American that thought the US owns the world and he can do whatever he want.Not only he was stupid enough to visit a fascist country which there is no justice or freedom but he was dumb enough to go steal a propaganda poster of Korea's leaders no less that they treat as gods probably to use it as a trophy to flex on his friends back home.What was he thinking?
None deserves treatment and an end like like this.He gets caught right handed stealing with video evidence ,don't make shit up.

Rich it's a lot, lot more complicated than how you're describing it. Those people that are worshipping him? They're brainwashed. They're being held captive by an increasingly brutal regime. It doesn't work just bombing them. Trust me, I hate that regime as much if not more than you. But there are millions of people who innocent in this and there are also thousands of North Korean soldiers ready to rush the border and take on South Korea. You DO NOT want to even imagine the kind of warfare that would take place under this disgusting regime.
Dennis Rodman is literally the only person that would agree to be Kim Jongs friend...

You should check out his childhood story. The rejection, oppression, and bullying he endured by his fellow White American/ And His Fellow Black American. It's safe to Kim was probably his first "Friend"
The thing is they always have their entire military in one spot like we could send a hellstorm and Merc everyone in their military at one time
They are the 4th largest military in the world and China has their back...
Because nations are attached to other nations it would likely cause ww3 and send us back to stone age.

Take a look at crime in the US ghettos. If ran the risk of being executed for robbing a store or beating up someone, you’re not going to do it. We are way to lenient on criminals in the U.S.
This mans living the interview
"The mystery"
They beat him senseless every fucking day.
Is there an autopsy report?
No ?
I'm 100% convinced Otto tried to take his own life in prison by hanging. His brain injury is consistent with same type of injury you would get from a unsuccessful suicide attempt by hanging. That's why no autopsy.
William W he is Jewish and they don't do that
He suffered trauma to the head which put him into a coma. He was sent home and died shortly after.
No supposedly the family didn't want an autopsy due to their religious faith or something like that
Rodmans agent's chin strap says enough about his character
and judging someone by their appearance shows no character....
@@cheebateam plz everyone with eyes can see his agent is nasty
My brother was a U.S. Marine. And, he specifically said. "When you are in another country, your obligated to follow their rules, regulations and guidelines and if you don't, it's not a guarantee that the U.S. is going to get involved with that countries laws." It's plain and simple. As far as Rodman. I don't think it's his fault that NK does want they do, or that Otto experienced what he experienced. I'm not going to speculate why Kim is friends with Rodman. But, I will say that I pray that Otto's family has peace and that whatever Rodman is trying to accomplish it's for the good of this country and the world.
Kim is a super fan of basket ball, thats why he likes Rodman
Death and a sentence of 17 years of hard labour isnt a fair punishment for taking a poster, regardless of the country or culture. He deserved to be fined, not killed.
I agree! But, as I said, American rules and punishments is different in third world countries. You just can’t go into another country and try to prove a point and expect their laws to be like the USA! That’s all I’m saying.
Sure, he went on the 5th floor and he shouldn’t have, but he wasn’t the only one either. They did not have PROOF that it was him “stealing” the poster. The video was blurry, shitty, and in b&w, it could literally have been ANYBODY. No face no case! They just used their prejudices and their dictatorship to punish an American without really investigating who else possibly could’ve done it. So what you mentioned about following another county’s rules/regulations in this case, for the most part, is irrelevant.
Torture breaks some sort of international law does it not? Also a country with severe human rights violation like that gets respect for its laws? Odd
They beat him badly! He seen something he wasn’t suppose to .
who the fuck goes to north korea and steals a fucking poster. WHY??? RIP otto

Chris Volo's eyebrows look like they're drawn on with a sharpie
Someone said in the comments said that they must have drugged him for him to lose control of his emotions.... NO ONE would be lacking emotions at that point, lying to everyone saying that your a spy and talking about your family..... that makes no sense. That is an extremely scary circumstance. He was very coherent and focused on his words
My niece went to UVA with Otto and he she told me that he was extremely ambitious. He was her lab partner. He was also in a fraternity. Otto was looking for troubles. He wanted to impress his frat and his friends. Unfortunately, he paid the price for it. The excitement cost him his life.
Could rodman and his manager be more arrogant ? Why don't they move to North Korea see how that works out ! So cross watching this video !
They'd probably live very comfortably considering how close Dennis is to the Kim.
I think that's an excellent idea
How was he even alive?? It’s described like he was brought back in a zombie like condition, the sheer horror Otto experienced is chilling
Rodman is clearly a nut job. To suggest that he contributed to Warmbier’s release is a very cheap diversion and a total fabrication.. He had absolutely nothing to do with it!
He's broke and ain't got no friends.
In North Korea the tortured him then sent him home when he looked like he was going to die

Джейсон Хичкок Ancestry sites and genes disagree
It frustrates me that his parents did not want an autopsy done... that could have given a lot of important information about what happened to Otto during the time that he was detained and some knowledge of how he was truly treated. Tragedy that it ended the way it did, poor guy. RIP.
I agree. There should have been an autopsy regardless of what the parents wanted. This was clearly a murder case.
Electricity torture most likely. After enough time the electricity fucks with the brain functionality and central nervous system. He was electrocuted to the point where they fried his brain.
Murder for sure.
Obviously his parents was not stable enough to make the right decision regarding autopsy as they try to sue North Korea later and when denying autopsy earlier they talk about that he had already suffer enough as they seem to believe that people still feel something after death? Anyway I think is very hard for the parents to get anything when Sweden has still not get paid for all old/legacy Volvo cars they sold to this country decades ago and still reminds about twice a year
Sad we lost such a good son..🙁
I can’t stop thinking about this kid ❤

Optimism and courage have a critical corollary,

Rodman is suddenly so overwhelmed with emotion that he can't answer the question.
North Korea needs to pay for this. It's heartbreaking to see this fine young man tortured to the point brain dead and lost his life. Its sad
Rodman is probably trying to get out of the spotlight as much as possible, trying to evade the questions as much as he can to avoid getting burned. One wrong answer and it could have him getting kidnapped and tortured. What most people from free societies don't understand is that in dictatorships, one wrong word, one blink, one smile, one laugh can cost you your sanity, your life and the life of your family.
Wrong, i think most "people from free societies" know how dictatorships work. only the ignorant don't.
+Sam Aviles No, they don't, especially if they live in middle class to affluent neighborhoods. They live in a bubble of protection that shields them from the rest of the world. They take for granted the freedom they have.
Look at how so many people in the USA have a positive view of Socialism and Communism. Look at how so many of them cheered when Bernie Sanders announced that he wanted a "redistribution of wealth". They don't understand that rising wannabe-dictators usually mask themselves with nice-sounding programs.
It happened in Russia, it happened in China, it happened in North Korea, it happened in Cambodia (read Pin Yathay's story), it happened in Venezuela, Brazil and so many other countries. And yet, despite such examples, US citizens who are so enclosed in their bubble of security want to experiment with Socialism. They don't appreciate or understand the freedom and prosperity they have.
*@Bat'el : your conservative bias greatly clouds your judgment if you're likening Bernie Sanders to a brutal dictator at all. That's asinine on multiple levels. Sanders is just pushing for the same legislation that every other First World country has.*
Bat'el Shimoni I don’t care. He is a TRAITOR!
Bat'el Shimoni :::: What middle class? You mean entitled snowflakes that think of nothing but professors Spin's college class Socialism 101and how great it would be.
Props to Michael for asking tough ass questions. Better than any journalist could ask.
Dennis Rodman sang happy birthday to you to Kim Jon Un. As a witch Rodman knows perfectly what happened with Otto. He knows that Otto was given certain substances that destroyed his brain. Dennis is a servant of Satan. Otto didn't do anything, everything was planned in advanced to give Donald Trump a lesson. About North Korea, this is a country where Satan rules. North Korea, China and Cuba launched the Coronavirus attack: michaelgchandler34blog.wordpress.com/
This story is beyond sad. Otto was a amazing human and what North Korea did too him was sick. That wasn't him on that video taking that poster down, pay attention it's NOT HIM, THAT WAS A WAY TOO GET HIM....OTTO WE WILL ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOU EVEN THO WE REALLY DON'T KNOW YOU, WE KNOW UR STORY.....Long Live Otto!!!!
Thank God Dennis Rodman found favor with Kim and could help get Otto released. No one criticize Dennis. He used his fame for good. You can do a lot of good when your enemy thinks you're his friend.
Going to North Korea = Eating a tide pod
JUST DON"T DO IT
Most tourists, who go there, are fine.
*Millions of kids go to north Korea.*
Just don't steal a propaganda poster and don't break the rules.
My condolences to you and your family
"I wish there was a way to know you are in the good ol' days before you actually left them." Wow
Wait, during the Rodman interview the clip, had a someone recording and a iPhone recording the video.
Why does Rodman sound like he's bobbing for apples.
People need to be more compassionate - yes he was in another country and should obey the laws, but no one should die for that and no one should be tortured like that. He might not have had bad intentions when he removed the poster. The people responsible for what happened to him are barbaric, with no regard for human life. It's so sad that he will probably never get any justice :(
They 100% believe he didn't remove that poster and was coerced into the confession. He was out with friends at a party and arrived around 3am. Poster was taken over an hour before.
Do you have evidence that he removed it?? Cause that video doesn't show much. Also, lots of people had said that he was nowhere near that area
@@DB-xo6xh u cant see anything clear in that video if the poster was important they wouldnt leave it without security it probably wasnt stolen at all they made it up
This is so sad. Especially since he didn’t do it too. In that case since NK was just framing him, if it wasn’t Otto it wouldn’t been another one of his students that was framed
His friends are clearly distressed by what happened to a friend of theirs. He did not deserve to die. All those people who lined the street such a wonderful thing to do.
It hurts my heart very much to know what Otto endured and how he died. It is unhuman.
Well yeah but why would he go there!!!

They prolly told Otto that if he said that stuff and acted that way, he'd be set free or get leniency, very sad😔
Wasn't him in the photo. Otto has two pairs of shoes with him on that trip, tan colors moccasins and grey Nike's. Man in the video was clearly wearing black boots of some kind. Something North Korean men all typically wear.
I'm glad the kid was released and very sorry for Otto and his family. As for Dennis he probably thinks he did a good thing and maybe he had something to do with it but he is an absolute mess.
If you go to North Korea you should know everything you shouldn't do over there, but removing or trying to steal a poster of their party or leader? You can't pass this off as the kid didint know he'd be in trouble for doing it. Sad he died but can you feel really bad for a person that jumped into a cage full of bears knowing full well what could happen? And the fact Rodman is trying to say he played a part of this is bullshit and he's just trying to get more time in the spotlight. I've been to North Korea for 2 weeks and did my research before I went, I listened to their rules and had a fun time besides not being able to go places you wanted or talk to locals like you wanted, but at the end of the day I got to see something most people don't in person and had no harm to myself, I even paid respect to the statues of their leaders and watched as people did so as well but could tell most of them weren't happy and looked trapped. But I kept it to myself in my head until after I got back stateside and never once brought up any bad words or political sides while there. Food was good and seeing the stores that foreigners and diplomats are allowed in was interesting vs what the local markets looked like, you could tell they tried putting on a front to make everything look better then it was
Adam 7 You can definitely still feel bad for someone who lost their freedom and life for something as innocuous as "stealing" a piece of paper. An injustice such as that is still an injustice and extremely sad regardless of what part of the world it occurs or how much you feel the victim deserved it.
Quantrindic why is stealing in quotes...if it isn't yours don't touch
I hear Otto originally wanted to go to Syria to steal an ISIS flag, but wasn't able to find a hotel room. LOL.
Juses Crus You're right, it shouldnt be in quotations. Removing it is definitely stealing, though I doubt he was doing it in order to sell it or make some sort of profit from it, but yeah you're right.
Adam 7 That was a genuine & honest feedback. It says a lot. Hidden cameras on documentaries shows what you're talking about precisely. I feel bad for the people of North Korea & sad for their government. Any Leader who needs THIS MUCH pride, is often bottled & know his time is numbered.
08:06 he makes a rhyme out of it lol
This is a horrible tragedy, but what’s funny is that as he was taken away his friend said “well that’s the last we’ll see of you.”
Dennis Rodman had nothing to do with Ottos release. And where is the proof ? your words ? come on you think i am a idiot
Rodman is living "the interview" in real life
1:52 - Who is that man in the left corner (the one watching the video)
Theres no way that security footage is actually otto, he was a scapegoat.
Why is it we lose our finest when they are so young and good at heart? May God rest his soul
You just don't go to North Korea, period!!
Exactly
Kitso Ntuli even if you go to North Korea don't try to steal a poster, use your damn common sense. He knew better!!
I have no way of knowing of whether or not he attempted to steal the banner, poster or whatever it was. Assuming he did, It is was an unwise thing to do and would get you more punishment than you would otherwise receive, probably anywhere else in the world. However, by you making the statement that you did, it means that on some level you justify what the regime did to him over such an insolent act. A15 year sentence of hard labor that led to his ultimate death.
chantelle it has nothing to do with the fucking poster. He died because he traveled to a country we have NO diplomatic relations with. NO US embassies in. A country we are at war with. A cease fire does not mean a peace treaty. He died because North Korea is the enemy of America and Americans.
John D he died cause he was a dumb man who was being like an idiot
“They never say yes, they never say no, Otto was in a Coma, and they didn’t want anybody to know”, ok I know this news is serious, but I just totally lost it from that Line 😂
