UPDATE:
I add this because the media was, earlier today, acting like North Korea might not really give him back, and would instead “use him as a bargaining chip.”
As it turns out, North Korea found him to be worthless.
Pretty racist that they won’t even use a black man as a bargaining chip.
Damn.

Before jumping the border, Travis King (known as “T-Dawg”) reportedly said “you all niggas got me fucked up. I’m out.” It remains unknown what T-Dawg’s statements meant.
CNN:
North Korea has decided “to expel” US Army Private Travis King, who crossed into the North from South Korea during a tour of the joint security area in July, state media KCNA reported on Wednesday.
“The relevant organ of the DPRK decided to expel Travis King, a soldier of the U.S. Army who illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK, under the law of the Republic,” KCNA said. The report said the investigation into King “has been finished.”
It is unclear from KCNA’s report where, when and how King would be expelled.
King crossed the military demarcation line from South Korea into North Korea in July during a tour of the Joint Security Area inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ). King, a junior enlisted soldier assigned to US Forces Korea, had faced assault charges in South Korea and was due to return to Fort Bliss, Texas, and be removed from the military just one day before he crossed into North Korea, CNN previously reported.
North Korea claimed on Wednesday that King has “confessed that he illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. army and was disillusioned about the unequal U.S. society.”
Yes, it was probably that and the assault charges. A mix of both.
You may be asking why, if he was facing assault charges and due to be sent home and discharged, he would have been touring the Joint Security Area. That does not mean “touring” as in “being on military tour,” but a tour in the regular sense. The JSA is in the DMZ, and it’s only one building. It’s administered by the UN. You might remember it from the Trump visit.
This nigga T-Dawg somehow escaped the military the day before he was being sent home, booked a private tour of the JSA, then bolted across.
He had been released from a South Korean detention facility a week before. This probably means that the “assault” was a very specific kind of assault on a Korean female. This July Reuters article mentions “unspecified charges,” and also that he damaged a North Korean police car. There were “two assault allegations” (as opposed to charges) in that article. It sounds like women accused him of rape and then he attacked the cops and both the South Koreans and the Americans want to downplay this “black soldiers constantly rape Asian women” thing.
It’s also unclear what was to happen to him when he got home. They’re saying he was going to be discharged, but he was presumably facing some type of court martial as well. There is a lot of “lie by omission” going on here.
So there was a week between his release from the Korean facility and his flight home, and I guess he was just out and about? I’ve read several articles about this, and I can’t find out why this would be the case. It seems to me that if he’d committed a crime in Korea and was serving time in a Korean facility, he would be transferred in shackles to the US military, who would detain him until sending him back to the US.
It’s incredible that he would be able to simply slip away and dart across the border. This certainly speaks to the level of organization of the US military. He’s not the only black man in this organization, you know.
This should be very embarrassing for the US. It’s humiliating, actually.
Meanwhile, Kim seems to have given him a fair hearing. They took nearly 3 months to announce their decision.
Rape, Rape, Rape: The Story of US Troops in Asia
In Japan, the rape thing has led to big time outrage.
Blacks sometimes rape white women in America, of course, but white women are typically aware of the possibility of this occurring and take some precautions. Asian women are literally sitting ducks.
In Okinawa, this has been a pandemic. Some of the protests against it have had thousands of people.
This might be one of the best headlines ever:
“Can you please finally stop these niggers?”
The rape thing is obviously pretty visceral. Much more so than the geopolitics of the American occupation of Japan and Korea, which even in these high IQ countries, the average person probably doesn’t understand.
So in Japan, you’ve not had any mass protests demanding the US leave because the US is trying to manipulate Japan to use them in a war against the Chinese. But there has been a widespread public sentiment that the Americans should leave because they keep bringing over these niggers to rape (and often kill) the local girls.
(If the US was in any way a logical country, they would only send black soldiers to countries where it doesn’t matter if they rape the local population. The US has bases all around the world, some of them in hostile territory. It’s not “racist.” It’s just common sense. You don’t make people with Down syndrome university professors, and you don’t put young black males in places where it is a problem if they commit rape.)
So, I don’t know if this Travis King fellow actually did a rape. Maybe it was some other type of monkey freakout.
It’s safe to say that if Japan lost a war with China, China would not be bringing in niggers and then letting them loose to rape local women.
We need pan-Asian cooperation.
