Can somebody send this to Trump and see if he can collect from his BF! I’ve blocked him so can’t send it.

Fuck that guy.... Did no research on the place he’s going to and thinks it’s okay to disrespect a country that barley opens their boarders to take down a poster. It should be no surprise that North Korea was extreme. You go to jail for chewing gum in Singapore.

Tragic is this death was, I can only hope Jung Il responds to say, clean up your own prisons and their deaths before you admonish me. For profit US prisons and their in humane treatment have to be stopped.

Like that strong letter to the makers of the Titanic?

Two children recently died in US custody. Wonder what value this judge would place on those 2 truly innocent lives. Wambier was an adult when he entered NK, got arrested and died. What makes his life valued this highly?

Remember 'Ball'in China ? It wasn't smart to go to NorthKorea and steal. There might be much more this government isn't telling us about the case

But he broke the law?

msbizz73 Now go collect it.

I'm surprised they didn't blame Trump for his death.

Good luck collecting on that judgment.

Does America not understand that they can only control their own country and not any other country? Or does America think they control the whole world?

Didnt he break the law in North Korea ?

Omfg those poor parents. That poor young man. Horrific !!!!!

Guantanamo Bay?

Won't bring him back

It is impossible for NK to pay for that amount because it can feed whole country for at least 6 months. And communist will not admit any wrong doing no matter what is the outcome from evidence based.

Of that money they will see..

Wasn’t Otto captured under Pres. Obama and Obama did nothing! President Trump brought Otto home!

Ok. That’ll stick. Try pissing up a rope. It’ll be more rewarding.

Don't you just love due process of the law, $501 million against North Korea, $11 billion against Iran but the US has dragged Canada into a shit storm between the United States and china over a CFO,Your President and Justice System clearly suffer with a mental disability

LMAO you really think they gonna pay that

Haha they won’t pay a single dollar because trump has no leverage with fat boy as he manipulated trump. Even the judge knows that who awarded the money.

Waste of time

Who in their right mind voluntarily takes a tourist trip to North Korea

Why he was over there spying stay outta others countries breaking the law shit wouldn't happen to you your white Previlege don't work everywhere

Donald the liar N Chief is out side the rule of law and Americans allow it ,,, So Donald’s regime rolls on !!

Hold on lemme print some more money to pay back america so they wont be mad at me for atrocities.

He’s dead, move on. He fucked up, not North Korea

Except that brings along millions of Koreans to starve for the next few years. They can’t afford this shit but I guess that’s how you learn lessons. They won’t be doing. That agin

It's tragic what has happened to him, but he's definitely not worth that amount. The judge is brain-dead.

How much Tamir Rice family get?

Except the fact that North Korea is its own country, not an American state. How are you going to punish and deter them as a district court judge? Place sanctions? 🙄 Honestly the entitlement of America these days

Kim be like

I hope they get nothing.

All the hub-bub over a stolen poster...

Do you not know not to use a hyphen after -ly adverbs? 😡 Where did you graduate from? USC?

... $500M only? Should be $500B

Afghan judge order us to pay 8 trillion for killing 1 million Afghanis. True story 😂😂😂

What a dog and pony show. It's almost sarcastic.

Does America understand the bounds of its jurisdiction? And am I alone in finding this judgment bizarre? It was a terrible & tragic event, but American citizens must understand different world views when travelling beyond their borders. And that others' law is not sub-US law.

The best joke of 2018. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😫

First of all, what the fuck is this young man doing in hostile territory and more for any American?

Lol sad America you failed again.

I'm sorry, I feel for his family, but where did the judge get that number?... Because when the cops deliberately kill innocent people over here in the US, you don't see that sort of settlement between the family and the government.

LadyJessMacBeth I’m sure they’ll pay right away! Purely symbolic and record. But that’s it

Serious question how do you collect ?

Good luck

Seems like unnecessary posturing

Like North Korea will ever pay up ... they still owe Volvo $300 from the late 70s.

So that's how trump's gonna pay for the wall

Why would north korea obey a us judge's order?

But black people still can't get reparations for slavery and Jim Crow

Hilarious. How happy would the NK peasants be to hear of this news. 1/60th of their GDP going to one American man.

Womp womp

And the US Cages the child Merry Christmas motherfff trumpeters

When Judge Howell goes to NK ... he can show me ... words are cheep

Good! Shame on North Korea for making this poor victim die in captivity!

For god sake its christmas dont make kim pay money It’ll make him upset and inevitably cause all out nuclear war

Judge has done more to punish North Korea than trump.

This doesnt punish the NK government this punishes the people. NK already has one of the highest starv. rates in the world, & electricity outages even in trains & hosp. throughout the day. People eat grass to feel full. If NK pays, it will come out of the innocent people's mouths

TamirRice

More proof that our Judiciary is a farce. An absurd judgement that will never be collected.

Like they’ll pay it? C’mon.

How about we get American courts to spend some time on BINDING punishments for US jurisdictions that murder innocent people of color because they empowered and allowed racists to join a constabulary that was intended to protect a serve the entire public.

JakelinCaalMaquin

Hmmmm. So, we can also expect that the father whose daughter died in the custody of Border Patrol to be warded a similar sum? It would be justified in view of this (at least) questionable decision.

I want to see Erics parents go get their $$$$$!!!! You sent him there, why?

Ha ha ha .. Why don't they get paid what we pay for an afghan civilian we murder....

Don’t hold your breath

In NK the people must at all times grovel before their dear leader. It is not Kim Jong who must be worshipped. It is his grandfather who has become a god. He's the true leader.

Yep. Right on, Beryl 🙄 The NKs will get onto that as soon as they’ve finished de-nuking because, well...you know... the US commands such international respect with realDonaldTrump “in charge” 😂😂😂😂

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? 🤣

ridiculous us courts should not even pretend to have jurisdiction over foreign nations. also warmbier shouldnt have gone or stolen.

'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.'
