Very stupid. Let him stay there for good in North Korea
We lost the black Randy Marsh
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He's being interrogated by the North Korean military. That is what happened to the last defectors.
Why does the US keep supporting its traitors.. first with Trump than with Jan 6th and now with this guy…
You guys sure seem to like to love those who are trying to destroy your nation
He may be too stressful to flee from jail condition. I suggest that we should telegraph North to set him back camp.
He is 20 years old and lose his temper.
Under disordes, soldier may experience disorder mentally.
Before defection and brainwashing, Lawer and military prosecutor agree to save him assp.
Leave the guy alone. He wanted to go there on his own free will. Stop wasting my tax money.
don't give in to north korea
dont worry, he used to be a basketball player so Biden will get him out and he black so thats a perk. 🤣
i guess that border is not as tight as the U.S.A media and propaganda makes it sound like. 🤣🤣
😢Omg I can't with this
Pasquale's buddy did hear you go jump in pictures with Kristen an Jason Braley you guy for legs an did look at head shape that you cut haircut the same so you look familiar look like brother an sisters he look everybody mommy an daddy like family get they same body tip haha I'm out hey Jason an Kristen Braley wear same jeans to haha you go cry look Pasquale's she pick Jason Braley off he fell over I knocked you turned how to knock haha I got cops are after haha how cop coz duck love insenses
He wanted to seek asylum from Brandon’s BS!
I’ve heard that South Korea has some issues still with those of African descent, and that North Korea, especially with the degree of their isolation, still has some PRETTY MAJOR issues with racism, so yeah it’s for sure worrying that a young black man is currently detained in North Korea. Prayin for him though! And I hope others are too! ❤
I really don't understand why the military didn't test him for PTSD!!!!!! Early signs of PTSD is: anxiety attack, panic, disruptive behavior, agitation, irritability, hyperventilation, mood swings, insomnia, self-destructive, depression etc.
What was he running from?
If this guy can’t stand S Korean prison, he certainly will not like N. Korea’s. But he wanted to run there so now he is there. His choice in life. Choices have consequences.
Hey NBC, this is only suggestion. If you’re trying to make this. Into some type of martyr or victim,story how about we find somebody who actually deserves being called a martyr or a victim. This kid don’t fit the criteria one bit.
Probably thought he could run there then bargain for his freedom…
NBC silent on Biden corruption is the real headline.
Hes black bury the story and trade him for a ridiculously dangerous war criminal STAT
This isnt the first time a us soldier defected to the dprk. A guy name james or joe Dresnok actuality made it high into the ranks.
“Actions have consequences.”
M.I. A
Something rather fishy in his case. What happen to his escort to air port? Then all sudden he on tour sounds like some one chasing him. Bet there much more this case if we can get real facts.
He is one of many African Americans who does not want to be in white nationalist America where we are not appreciated ,loved or valued for building the United states of conspiracy and hypocrisy winning the civil war and for being the cultural backbone of america .I am sure he will provide Noth Korea with all the Intel that they can get from him .
Unfortunately he's gonna end up like Otto. Maybe Dennis Rodman needs to call Kim
If only we had a president that walked into the DMZ and could talk with the dictator of North Korea. Either way we would know more information than what we have now.
North Korea wants defectors in exchange for the US soldier. F that…these defectors risked their life to escape North Korea and he voluntarily threw his away. He knew exactly what he was doing and how stupid that was. Do not exchange anyone who will suffer the same fate he volunteered for.
And it has to be from Racine Wisconsin omg little town
If he was in south korean jail, that means he was probably about to get dunked on by the uniform code of military justice.
We shouldn't use our tax dollars to get him back. As far as I'm concerned, he's nothing but a traitor and should be left there and we should have left Brittney Griner as well.
Maybe this kid will prove us all wrong and be Kim Jung’s bff. You know teach him some black culture. Listen to some good rap music, maybe teach him a few recipes, and he’ll definitely find him some better clothes.
Nobody is trying to run across to N. Korea. And that reporter is not at the border. It is an obvious green screen.
Biden would rather help a traitor then a honorable soldier.
I know for a fact that this man was sent there by our government to spy on the North Korean government, and to dissuade the Korean people from performing their hard work and dedicated service to the Dear Leader.
Pretty foolish. He's about to get a very painful and hard education
North Korea is waiting on an offer from the Biden administration… probably a high-level arms dealer or International terrorist..
Would it be sage to say that he was mental?
He wanted to work for Kimmie Jongie
As far as I know he’s still on active duty and was escorted to the airport to fly back to TX. He never boarded and then joined a tour group headed to the DMZ. He not only defected to N. Korea but committed desertion as well. Those are serious crimes, so even if he’s returned safely (I doubt it) he’ll spend decades at Ft. Leavenworth!! He created his own nightmare, let him live with it!! What really angers me is he has potentially created a political crisis!!
Us officials showing concern for a traitor is treason.
