That will never happen. Trump will back North Korea as he loves ruthless dictators. That's what he wants to be when he grows up. He has already killed 2 children at our borders.

OK yeah right like they’re going to send over a check right away

Yeah like their gonna pay that, 🙄

Good luck on that decision

Yeah, holding a country libel for money. Good luck with that.

Pretty sure NK doesn't have it.... at all..... ever.

Wish they’d stick up for blacks like that🤔

Should’ve sued for a Gazillion Bajillion dollars, what the heck - you’re never going to see a penny anyway.

Ya... Ok...

They deserve every penny.

How many beers does it take to be a so dumb judge?

lauferlaw Yeah, check’s in the mail

Okay. Send someone over there to collect that $$ grime Koo Koo Kim. “ knock Knock”. “Rues there?” “The USA. You owe $ Mr Kim...” “. Ah..musta Kim natta home..he weft.. went China..get take out..not come back!”

There is certainly no one within the administration of the U.S. that will demand payment on this and NK will never pay. But, kudos to the judge

Trump and Kim Jung Un are in love so I'm sure he's going to pay

Snd North Korea says suuuuuuuuuuure.

Otto Warmbier went to North Korea and vandalized a hotel by stealing a poster ,was arrested , he derived to be jailed but not to be tortured too death as he was . It is a sad situation.

Good luck collecting this. What’s the point?

A US judge can't 'order' a foreign country to do ANYTHING.

Educate me.....does the US LAW apply to north Korea

And what did north korea say

Would this set a precedent for people wrongly convicted and mistreated in the US penal system? Because in that case the light of justice might shine for all that are wrongfully behind bars in America.

Kid was stupid enough to go to North Korea and was caught on video taking a poster, then he got what he deserved.

You will get that check on the 12th. As in the 12th of never. Maybe Trump will call his buddy Kim Jung Un and do the art of a deal schpeil on him. Trump will end up sending a billion to North Korea instead.

What a joke? Just the beginning part of the headline alone.... 'U.S. judge orders North Korea to pay $500 million....' 🤣 The audacity, and sense of entitlement is shameful. To use an unfortunate situation to display vanity is repulsive. thoughts

question and when will the US be condemned to pay for the thousands of people they killed around the world ?

Since when a country can order another COUNTRY to do whatever they think is right? Oh, wait....

How long before Trump weighs in and tweets that Kim has assured him that he had no knowledge of how this happened.

Yeah good luck collecting it.

chartreuxcat Our courts have no jurisdiction over there. Which shyster lawyer convince that man's family to do this?

Good luck collecting.

It always seems to be about money here in the US.

Can the same judge order that they stop their nuclear program?

Just out of curiosity, who's gonna reinforce that?

Like mexico is paying for the wall, serioudly i feel their pain but this is delusional... grief

😂

When two great nuke competitors met in Singapore,who footed hotel bills?

斬首金三這個國際恐怖組織的頭目,就像殺死本拉登,薩達姆一樣!

I was With the judge day before yesterday. What a great man he is, especially in being stoned high in stuff!

or what?

This judge isn’t very reasonable lmao

He’s what we call “judgment proof.”

Maybe they shall have Trump deliever the bill...

Otto went there voluntarily and his parents did nothing to stop him. It’s outrageous that they are trying to get $500 million. If anything they should be paying the United States government for all the time and travel costs involved in securing his release.

Trump to allocate that to the “wall”

Good luck with that.

But how when he and Don the Con fell in love?

Or?

Send Trump - he can make deal with his friend Kim - just like he did in the past.... 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Yeah I don’t think they’ll do that. Good luck getting $5 from them. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Now every deplorable is thinking about this as an alternative cash resource.

What a time about ordering Saudi Crown Prince MBS to pay 500million too fir killing JamalKhashoggi

Good luck in collecting that money from NK. Kim for sure will deny any guilt. Not even his 'best friend' Donald can convince him to pay

hahahaha like that's going to happen

DPRK has offered to settle for $5 and a jar of Kim Chee

If NK had half a billion would they be eating the bark off trees?

I’m sure they’ll get right on that

Yeah, that’s gonna happen.

1) You Otto took it upon yourself to travel to a totalitarian country / total surveillance state that hates Americans. You couldn't have gone to Sweden instead? 2) You stole a propaganda poster and were caught doing it on video. The parents are shocked the results. No sympathy

They r not bound to follow the other countries judge .stupid people

r_middagh We really have a thing for making ourselves look stupid, don't we?

I wonder how much the US will pay for this child?

Send 45 over to collect

Since this is the day and age of blank checks that'll never be satisfied, why not make a billion!

They will have to go through Trump to get this.

Lol it’s cute how the US thinks anyone gives a damn what they think

Just freeze and seize their assets. Why do we even ask them?

With what money!? That country is broke.

He should’ve broken the law why would they reward illegal behavior

Lol

Check’s in the mail

Ask the Warmbiers if they'd be willing to accept the complete dismantling of North Korea's nuclear program instead. Perhaps Otto's death could lead to certain peace.

Obama Gould have to pay a part of that settlement for telling the parents to stand down & let his admin negotiate. MAGA

Hilarious

yeah...they'll send that $$$ right out. They don't even feed their people and you think they will send them $500 mil?

So then how much will the U.S. have to pay for the immigrants that died in our custody? How are they planning on having NK pay for it? No assets in America to seize and I can't see NK paying any money. They are not our allies. This is opening a big can of trouble for world laws.

Send Rodman to pick up the dough.

Good luck with that

Ummm I hate to say this but I don’t think they will get $500 from North Korea let alone $500 million

Yeah I'm sure a check is in the mail.

What is this suppose to mean? North Korea to pay 500 million dollars? People are hungry over there and they will need that money to feed them.

Good luck with that...

Ok. Will they issue a warrant if they refuse?

burcham_don LOL but if am American gets killed by American govt they're lucky to get $5mill.

Yeah right, I’m sure they will get that check right out to them.

..And this is what % of the 2019 N Korea budget?

Wont get penny... reality.

North Korea could do the same by ordering USA to pay trillions for murdering 25% of its population in 1950's

medit8now Money will never bring him back but I am glad the monetary amount is so high.

Why are these people so efin clueless?

Yeah good luck getting that money. I’m sure they will have no problem forking over half a billion when they can barely feed their own people smh

juliawb I’m sure they’ll pay right up 🙄

Good luck with that 🤔

Why so low if you’re joking? You should have said, “a gazillion.”

19 Dec. -a Russian citizen died in one of the prisons in the Lviv region of Ukraine, the Russian Embassy in Ukraine reported. 'We can confirm that a Russian citizen died in prison, 'Interfax Agency was told by the Embassy's press service on Wednesday.

Good luck trump will make sure his friends never pay

Maybe realDonaldTrump can negotiate that one with his new NK buddy.

If a country would pay family for death of a love one How much America would have to pay for oh let's just say the past 10years?

He went NK knowing all the risks.

Is that amount not too much?

Yes I’m sure that Kim Jong Un will get right on that! 🙄

Yeah, that’s gonna happen

Good luck collecting

Me....still waiting for that payment.

they have two hopes of getting that money, bob hope and no hope

To those mocking the award: It gives standing to Warmbier to seek seizure of North Korean assets currently held or blocked in the US and its allies. There’s a very good chance he’ll see at least some of it.

I'm sure they'll get it right after they denuclearize 🙄

Never forget

That's not how that works

Lol...I mean, alright, at least it's something?

Yo realDonaldTrump, give your buddy Kim a call and make sure Otto’s family gets paid.

Let’s let the Great Negotiator handle getting the money! TrumpResign

Maybe Trump can get the money since he is in bed with the dictator!

$500 million? Yeah good luck with that.

TeaTramRussia One US citizen seems to be worth 2,381 Iranians.

Will they send Dog the Bounty Hunter to collect?

They’ll stop their nuke program before they pay that back. never

Dumb judge.

and the war beggins...

Definitely gonna happen.

That’s nice and all, but what jurisdiction does a US judge have over North Korea?

I’m sure North Korea will get right on it LMFAO.

They won’t see a penny of that money, and know it. What an unspeakable tragedy.

Is this some kind of joke? Lets see how US courts force North Korea to pay the judgement. Maybe we should send Mueller to investigate Kim Jong Un. FakeNews Propaganda EnemyOfThePeople

Yes that’s going to happen lol

lauferlaw Yeah, that's going to happen.

lauferlaw Good luck with that

But that's 500% of their GDP!

How does that work? How can a US Judge order North Korea Will they arrest the little rocket man if he doesn’t pay?

Maybe they can collect from Kim Jong-Un's American lover. FLOTUS StormyDaniels MichaelAvenatti POTUS realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr jaredkushner IvankaTrump EricTrump CLewandowski_ LindseyGrahamSC AnnCoulter PressSec KellyannePolls WhiteHouse VP senatemajldr

Let's state the obvious: horrible treatment by North Korea, but what would have happened in say: iran, Venezuela, Syria etc, if you ripped up a poster of the dead leader, tyrant etc, in your hotel room, answer: nothing good

North Korea learned the fine art of torture from their CCP mentors and handlers, the sadist of Beijing, King Xi.

uh sure, good luck with that

good luck collecting😡😡😡😡

How is trump going to handle this pet of the diplomacy with little rocket man? realDonaldTrump is an idiot.IdiotInChief

🤣😭😂😭🤣😭😂😭🤣😭😭😭🤣

Pot call's kettle black.

🤣Sorry.. I feel so much for the families loss but they're not seeing a dime of that money.

I wouldn’t hold your breath.

US judge orders North Korea to pay $500 million in student's deathA federal judge has ordered North Korea to pay more than $500 million in a wrongful death suit filed by the parents of Otto Warmbier, an American college student who died shortly after being released from that country. Can he get Mexico to pay for the wall while he's at it? You cannot put money on his worth. So all the people that USA have killed in war, can they now sue USA for 500 million dollor each ?

Judge orders North Korea to pay more than $500 million in death of student Otto WarmbierIn a strongly-worded opinion, Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said the large award was necessary to punish and deter North Korea. 'North Korea is liable for the torture, hostage taking, and extrajudicial killing of Otto Warmbier, and the injuries to his mother and father, Fred and Cindy Warmbier.' ridiculous us courts should not even pretend to have jurisdiction over foreign nations. also warmbier shouldnt have gone or stolen. His punishment was harsh but he comited a criminal act in another country. This court ruling is a joke. He’s accountable for putting himself in that position. The U.S thinks they can order other countries what to do with their laws? 🤣
