    You know something is definitely wrong with him when even North Korea rejects him.

    North Korea must have seen very little value in him to send him back. Had he been even a half-way decent speaker, I’m sure they would have held onto him for propaganda value.

    He’s in for it now. The US government will not look kindly upon him for desertion. It’s doubtful that he had any useful information to give the North Koreans, but they must punish him to deter others (not that many US soldiers would ever think to defect to North Korea). He is looking at a long, long time in military prison and the forfeiture of all military benefits and very poor employment prospects going forward. Maybe he can write a book about his experiences and make a little money that way. But “I ran to North Korea and they sent me back!” Is hardly a compelling story.

    So why was he in the US military in the first place with a history of bad behavior. Sounds like he didn't grow up with that discipline in his life and wants to run away from his troubles running in to North Korea…..sad and ignorant

  24. @cv63vet98

    December 31, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    Man, even North Korea didn't want this guy. There has to be more to this story. Maybe Joe Biden gave billions of our tax dollars to North Korea, too.

    They thought Dennis Rodman was the only one till this guy showed up in North Korea 😂. They had to keep him under wraps to make Dennis seem more mystical.

    Why did they take him back? 🤔

  31. @lleon-cv4ex

    December 31, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    Not much mentioned on American media. I heard Fox briefly mention the release had taken place, but beyond that, seems the consensus has been why worry about someone who didn't even want to be here in the first place? He's defected so let him rot kind of mentality. No update on his mental condition, physical condition or anything. Now there's much more going on. He's likely been forgotten media-wise.

  32. @johngalt1555

    December 31, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    He's fucked either way.

    Blacks never did anything to NK. I don’t care if they kicked him out/gave him back. He’s alive and in 10 years no one will really even care let’s be honestâ€Ļ..

    If you ever feel worthless in life, just remember there exists an American that has no value to the DPRK

Published

on



Social media giant Meta has agreed to a $18bn (ÂŖ13.3bn) settlement with US states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed children.

A California judge approved the settlement, which Meta must pay to 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and three US territories, marking the company’s largest payment over child safety litigation to date.

Meta will also implement a host of changes aimed at better protecting kids online, which the states had demanded, including default daily time limits and night-time blocks.

Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement and said on Wednesday that the payment it agreed to “will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period”.

PC Andrew Harper’s killers to stay in jail | BBC News Exclusive

Published

on



Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding. 

In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release. 

Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.
