I saw that this morning and thought ... Otto Warmbier? Otto Warmbier???! What is he, a Morporkian?

 

His fraternity brothers Nacho Tacobell and Jaeger Doinshotz were able to get away unscathed.

 

 

Indeed, he thought a little frat boy prank would be real cute. I bet he was mighty surprised when he started jabbering about his rights and the NorKs just laughed. The very definition of the word "dumbass".

 

 

Given the way NK disposes of their undesirables his second name will now be changed to kibbles or Alpo.

SEOUL – North Korea on Wednesday sentenced an American student, who had admitted to stealing propaganda material, to 15 years hard labor for crimes against the state, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported.

 

The sentence was handed down on Otto Warmbier, a 21-year-old student from the University of Virginia, by North Korea’s Supreme Court, Xinhua said in a brief dispatch datelined Pyongyang.

 

There was no immediate confirmation by North Korean state media of the sentence, which appeared to come just hours after veteran U.S. diplomat Bill Richardson reportedly met with two diplomats from North Korea’s U.N. office to press for Warmbier’s release.

 

Warmbier was arrested in early January as he was leaving the country. He later said he had removed a political banner from the staff-only area of the Pyongyang hotel being used by his tour group.

 

His detention came at a sensitive time, as the United States took a leading role in securing the tough sanctions that the U.N. Security Council imposed earlier this month on North Korea over its nuclear test on Jan. 6 and long-range rocket launch a month later.

 

In recent weeks, Pyongyang has maintained a daily barrage of nuclear strike threats against both Seoul and Washington, ostensibly over ongoing, large-scale South Korea-U.S. military drills that the North sees as provocative rehearsals for invasion.

 

Warmbier had entered North Korea as part of a New Year tour organized by China-based Young Pioneer Tours. He was arrested when the group was set to return to Beijing on Jan. 2.

 

The United States has no diplomatic or consular relations with the North, and the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang provides limited consular services to U.S. citizens detained there.

 

Warmbier is one of three North Americans currently detained in North Korea, which recently sentenced a 60-year-old Canadian pastor to life imprisonment with hard labor on sedition charges.

 

In the past, North Korea has used the detention of U.S. citizens to obtain high-profile visits from the likes of former U.S. President Bill Clinton in order to secure their release.

 

According to The New York Times, Tuesday’s meeting between Bill Richardson and the two North Korean diplomats took place at a hotel near the U.N. headquarters in New York.

 

“I urged the humanitarian release of Otto, and they agreed to convey our request,” the former governor of New Mexico told the newspaper.

 

Richardson has traveled to North Korea several times over the years on diplomatic missions that have included securing the release of other arrested Americans.

 

Detained foreigners are often required to make a public, officially scripted acknowledgement of wrongdoing, and Warmbier was paraded in front of reporters and diplomats in Pyongyang last month.

 

Footage of the event showed a sobbing Warmbier pleading to be released and saying he had made “the worst mistake” of his life.

 

According to the North’s state media, Warmbier said he had been tasked with stealing the banner by a member of the Friendship United Methodist Church in Wyoming, Ohio, who wanted it “as a trophy” and offered him a used car worth $10,000 if he succeeded.

 

Political slogans, extolling the achievements of the country and its leaders and encouraging citizens to work harder and demonstrate their loyalty, are all-pervasive in North Korea.

 

They can be seen on the streets and in nearly every public building, as well as every work unit.

If you are American and volunteer to go to NK you deserve 5 years vacation in their jails just for that stupidity.

' According to authorities, Smith exited the restroom and made it halfway through the store before shoppers around her said they smelled something burning shortly before a sizzling sound. They saw the woman running with her children towards the exit as her yoga pants caught fire. The woman fell to the floor and began to scream as the fireworks blasted off from between her legs.

'“That lady was running like she stole something,” said Lewis Matthews, a shopper who witnessed the incident. Apparently she did steal something but she wasn’t very smart about it. I don’t know what would make her think she could shove a tube of fireworks up inside of her and it would end well. I mean that had to be the worst thing I’ve seen in my life. Red, and blue and all kinds of colors were shooting out from between her legs and I have to mention it smelled like someone was cooking fish on the grill or something.” '

Apparently static electricity from walking/running while wearing yoga pants lit the fuze...

Are we sure this is real? Having had a very small firecracker explode in my hand many years ago (felt like my fingers were smashed with a hammer) I would think that those delicate female 'parts' would be severely damaged/burned causing major trauma to the owner of said parts........................

 

And the observation from the witness that it smelled like "someone was cooking fish" sounds, well, ....fishy...

A woman has died after a passing train decapitated her while having sex on a railway line.

The woman, who was on top, is believed to have looked up after hearing the train approaching.

 

She was killed in Ulan-Ude, Siberia, when the accident happened.

According to Russian news agency Pravda the woman and her partner were both homeless and were drunk at the time of the accident.

In recent times there have been a number of incidents near the tracks. A mans legs were cut off and his body was found four days later.

Earlier this week a mother was hit along with her two young children, aged one and two. The younger one died at the scene while the mother and two-year-old are in a critical condition.

For f$%ks sake, those poor kids, and the poor engineer of that train.

Makes me angry every time I hear of another idiot that jumped in front of a train.

...i´ve read in some interview that on average, each train engineer hits one person during his career. there was some rather morbid routine ´´if-you-see-you-cannot-stop-the-train-in-time-DON´T-look-just-turn-away/retreat-to-back-compartment-make-the-phone-calls-take-next-day-off´´

Probably the only way to cope is to not realize on an emotional level that it was a human you have just rolled over.

 

My significant other's uncle is an engine driver and he has had several in his career, but only after the fact he heard from the police what it was. From his seat they looked like a box or some other object on the tracks.

[DB]

It's a well-known PTSD related career ender here.

[bd1]

as i remember from that interview, it was really ´´take a day off´´, perhaps because if you start dwelling too much over it, you can´t get back? anyway, it was in radio about a decade ago, so i´m really not sure

[sunday]

It's more up close and personal in commuter trains.

 

Subways (with platforms at the level of the floor of passenger cars) are the worst - the driver could see the person attempting suicide by jumping on the way of the train only feets away, and without time to do anything but watch unwillingly.

My cousin works in a homeless shelter, according to her suicide by train is common method in the homeless community. She mentioned a couple that had happened just recently when she was telling me this. You figure there are only so many crews that run in a certain geographical area......
