OPINION:
I can only hope that retribution for the egregious death of Otto Warmbier is swift and sure. This horrible tragedy resulted from no more than a college prank, leading to the death of a vibrant, loving and intelligent young man. I can only imagine the suffering endured by his family, and was brought to tears by their description of the peace that had come over his face, even when he was in a coma, as he realized that at last he was home.
As a nation, we really need to put the screws to North Korea with every imaginable sanction. We must treat Pyongyang leadership like what they are: a bunch of psychotic despots. In the meantime, we in New Mexico send our prayers and our deepest condolences to the grieving Warmbier family.
