      I asked @YPioneerTours, which took Otto Warmbier to North Korea, for comment. Citing privacy and "the well being of Otto," they declined.

      I once bumped into a Young Pioneers tour group drinking beer at the Munsu water park in Pyongyang -- at about 11am. A recipe for disaster.

          Do you think Otto was under the influence when he allegedly took the poster?

        Why don't you GO on a YPT tour and then share your opinion? Because today you're a top class nonsense twitterer.

        So you're blaming the company for one guy's poor choice? Yes, he paid the highest price. But it was HIS choice.
