American detained in North Korea speaks out

An Ohio man who spent nearly six months imprisoned in North Korea for leaving a bible in a nightclub is home and talking about his experience -- and why he did it. Dean Reynolds reports.

They most likely didn't torture him because he is completely different compared to the others. He was "odd" and wasn't acting like a "spy"

[jovohodzic]

He left his bible in the North Korean night club, but left his brain back home.

They probably treated him nice, so when they sent him back it would seem like they take good care of their prisoners

Side note: Who has a bible in a night club?🤔



Update: A strange man.

[waitasecond...]

They sent him to various hotels and as he said it, overfed him. Either they really liked him or when they wanted to try him, he began speaking about the kingdom of God. So they thought that he's just too crazy to deal with but amusing enough to keep for a while. They sent him back to the US intact and in good condition, hoping that he'd spread his crazy in his home country.

They probably figured there would be no use in torturing a strange man and that’s putting it nicely

I've been to North Korea As A visiting Tourists And I Followed all the Rules And Laws of that country And the Tour Group

[steveramos]

This doesn't make sense to me. A god loving family man like this leaves a bible in a club in north korea. What was he really doing there?

[demicorpz]

Never push your Religion to someone else. ☝️☝️

[chrissy]

They figured if he was sent back to spread positivity about the North Korean regime he’d more use im sure the North Korean government keeps a close watch on him

[majeshirkaku]

Can he take a Bible to a gay bar in US ?

[hughjazz]

Eugene Levy should play this guy in a movie

[robertsilva]

I'm surprised He Has Not Been to the Klingon Empire Yet

[robertsilva]

It is his Fault for not following the tour groups rules the law states you cannot bring Bibles into the country so basically it's his fault for not following the rules of the country and the tour group when you visit a different country you have to follow their laws whether you like it or not if you Do Not want to Follow the local laws of a Different country then stay home

[luchalerae]

He was covered in the blood of Christ!

[julie.]

Why can't Americans understand that their God given rights don't follow them everywhere. Just remember..."Their country, their rules".

[majeshirkaku]

Truck driver was he smoking weed? Get him in jail and see if he can take a Bible to nightclub in Atlanta? May be he will get his answer 😆

[brettvukovich]

This act alone is why I have a problem with organized religion.

[yigmjgq]

why did you bring the bible to a night club 😂😂😂😂 ?

[momentswithyahya]

Stop trying to spread Christianity. Leave people alone. Leaving those bibles was disrespectful.
