All these people telling him to stay there and let them keep him but don't want the same for illegals coming to the US 😂
I don't know about this story. Whole thing seems strange, top to bottom. We'll likely never know what actually happened.
Keep him!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 He was complaining about inequality in US and chose N.Korea to find equality??🤣😂
I know America has A LOT of really stiupid people, but this guy must be mental!!! This story made me cry from laughter.👏🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍
Whenever I will feel down in life, I will think about him!😂
IT IS PAST TIME FOR ALL AMERICANS TO LEARN THAT GOING TO COUNTRIES LIKE THIS COULD END YOUR LIFE. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
I GUESS HE DIDN'T BOTHER TO RESEARCH THE FACT THAT MANY HAVE BEEN USED AS PAWNS AND THEN RETURNED DEAD OR DYING FROM HOTEL NORTH KOREA. NO TRADES. NO SYMPATHY. THIS IS A DISASTER OF HIS OWN MAKING.
He and the world knows about the historic discrimination against ppl of color in the military.
The question is, does he think he's gonna be treated better in NK for any reason other than using him as propaganda against the USA?
Don't think so.
Keep that traitor😂
I mean, this guy just being sarcastic. He said the reason why he doing this is because how US army was abusive and racist towards him.. this is fake and a lie. Before he doing this they say he was being so disrespectful and shows inappropriate behaviour against others. Even his family is shocked because how he was good before military. Guy clearly don't want to live in his country anymore and planinng this for a long time lol.
Just the usual suspects commenting 🙄
Crazy to believe North Korea. Most likely the boy is in USA 🎉🎉
Wonder if they are going to put him in movies with the Dresnok sons. 😂
Keep him … Keep him ….😅…We Don't want him … He's All your's … LOL 🤪…
Racism? Is that his excuse for not taking responsibility for his criminal behavior in the Army? SOME people can never admit their criminal behaviour.Leave him in NK.Good riddance.
simply put… a kid who wasn’t raised correctly who made stupid decisions. keep him, we’ve got too many just like him. north korea will exploit him and use him and throw him away like used toilet paper. he can stay there permanently.
The rest of you soldiers need to defect asap to avoid this abuse
What a brave guy seeking refuge to avoid racial discrimination from the us
Now King can spend his time enjoying Kim Jong Un's golf video "How to shoot a hole in one (golfer)", listening to his hit hip hop songs, #1 to 100 on North Korea's charts for the past decade or so, or watching North Korean Law and Order: No Trial, No Jury (pilot episode: Kim Jong Un catches, prosecutes, convicts and "executes" the sentence on a litterbug; a jaywalker is shown leniency due to his advanced age and given only 20 years hard "exercise" in a reeducation center.).
I don't understand why black men keep joining a white mans army
He is not going to be harmed,If he plays his cards well he might live a good life there, kim could use him as a propaganda tool
Don't try and bring him back. He did this willingly.
easy just trade another merchant of death for him
Imagine North Korea do nothing while some US guys become racism to a black American, which make him want to go to N.Korea
Then North Korea have a new US soldier run to their country, wow
Maybe he admires NK push for purity and giving all to those whom are loyal. They are the only country not even touched by what a lot of people would call the evils of western culture.
Hope he enjoys losing 30 – 40 lbs, maybe less if he's lucky.
There is no way that North Korea is going to give a black man sanctuary. Plain and simple.
He's very happy there. I think I saw him clapping. 😅
Wait until he figures out that he, and he alone, now gives NK the ability to claim they are a country of diversity. Good luck being welcomed there with open arms. 😂
Why isn't the black community Raising Cane and demonstrating yelling racism at North Korea
He’s going to say it’s because of racism.
I totally get it. North Korea seems preferable to democrat run America.
He's dead. If not right now, he will be soon
What's the Korean for "there goes the neighborhood"?
his story about racial discrimination in the US sounds very believable, but I doubt NK will take any chance as he could be a spy. either way the US will gain nothing from this.
Ya we know took NK long enough they are so behind on everything
Life isn’t fair. Cope harder. Come back and face the music for your crimes or stay there forever.
Keep him
