Los Angeles Candlelight Vigil for Laura LIng and Euna Lee on 6/3/09

[jacob7207]

Hey people? You don't want to be captured by North Koreans? DONT FUCKING CROSS THEIR BORDER ILLEGALLY. I have been to North Korea myself, and I am American. I went in the legal way, through a tour organized by Samsung, through the DMZ. The tour was not long after shut down. I don't know what else to say, but you can go, but you shouldn't just walk right in. I'll bet those girls wanted to see how far they could get. F it. Not my problem. Welcome back home ladies, don't do that again.

[SarahLee1]

What's so arrogant about reporting the truth? There are thousands of North Korean refugees who risk their lives to flee through China every year. That number is also rising. And it's also no lie that North Korea has concentration camps. I'm just glad that these women are back home and safe. Do you think it would be better if the women were still stuck in North korea and their families at home, worried sick about them?

[wsasmita]

If these reporters were 2 white American men, I'm sure that people would be a lot more supportive because whites are Americans, and Asians are not. People always find numerous excuses to EXCLUDE these women from the term AMERICA by saying that they're liberals, or they're on their own because they made their own mistake. Haven't we witnessed many white journalist and soldiers who are arrested in some countries due to crossing the border illegally and eventually get the support they need?

[whitmansincubo]

Why do you have to be such an ass? We need to support these women and their families & bring them home as soon as possible. It's not even known if they crossed the border. They are respected journalists multo, not biased. Your comments are racist and unfounded. Furthermore, Al Gore has taken action, & if you knew anything about journalism, you'd know that he simply owns Current. He didn't "assign" them to this story as so many accuse. Can't we just support these women & help to bring them home?

[jaydovee]

Al Gore simple owns Current. What in hell are you talking about???????? William Randolph Hearst owned lots of newspapers and he hired and fired people and told them what to report on. Dragged America into the Spanish American war. Al Gore and these two nuts are doing the same thing trying to drag countries int a war.

Multo1 is right about these two twinkie bananas. They thought laws do not apply to them

Plus have you ever worked in a news paper, apparently not??

[whitmansincubo]

I OWN A NEWSPAPER, YOU IDIOT! Comparing William Hearst and Al Gore is laughable. The industry has changed over the last century, or haven't you heard? I stand by my first comment and I will until the day these ladies are released. Anyone that doesn't support their release has no business making nasty comments here.

[xheartsandskullsx]

They aren't respected journalists..lol..I didn't even know who the fuck they were until they broke the law and crossed the NK border and wanted America to get them out. Fuck these two bumbling fame seeking morons.

[jaydovee]

Why Al Gore not do something. Why did he send them out tod do such a thing.

Of course the Koreans think they are spies because of Al Gore

[multo1]

laura very arrogent about the countries she reports, its all from a santa monica rich asian chick perspective, kinda poetic justice to find herself at the mercy of that which she wished to use as step ladder to riches prizes and awards

[jaydovee]

Thanks multo1 all good points. That whitemansincubo is a real nut.

[stanleythughes]

Found Al Gore. No comment about Euna and Laura from Al

Former Vice President Al Gore will meet with the House Democratic Caucus at lunchtime Thursday as part of the larger effort to build support for a scheduled vote this week on an energy and climate change bill.

[BFPolarBear]

Maybe their reform through labor will be twelve years of making propaganda videos for North Korea.

[geccog12]

great job on this video... i hope they get free soon!!! best wishes

[TashaRichardsonFan]

Hang in here, Lisa:)

[superkarla42]

Should we have stayed out of Germany during WWII too, then?

[PantherCamaro]

best thing to do is stay out of these fucked up Countries.

[btwall60]

they convicted them in a show trial, now they will let them go in a few days. dont you guys know how the communists/facists/ work by now? Kim JOng REALLY ILL is a true lunatic. he probably had these two young women lured into the situation, and then did this. I think they will be back in the US by the 20th.

bt

[docman777]

btwall60....I'm pretty sure that these two journalist knew what kind of person Kim Jong Il is,everyone knows,except his countryman.But WHY get too close to the border,that's about as lunacy as Kim.And Yes,they will be home in 20th of 2021what month? no one knows... ????IDIOTS

[richardl562]

best wishes to euna and laura. wish you back home soon.

[xiaomei78]

Great video and vigil. I hope Euna and Laura will be back home soon, and that the US government and media all around the world speak out about their situation!

[megamaniac76]

The media and the Obama administration's silence on this is disgusting.

[sonyaschwartz]

Wow. You truly have no idea what you are talking about and have fallen victim to the blogs and naysayers in this instance. This is not negligence, it's strategy.

[Grooveraider]

Quit blaming Obama -- its their fault for going overseas in the first damn place! I swear journalists have such huge egos trying to cover stories that could nearly get them killed or in this case get CAUGHT. What pisses me off even more are these career journalists with children! Why have kids when you're risking life and death as a career journalist??? Talk about irresponsible!
