Fifteen year’s in a North Korean prison with hard labor is the future for American tourist, Otto Warmbier, the 21-year-old University of Virginia undergrad, convicted of subversion. The trial in the North Korean Supreme Court only took an hour to convict and sentence.
The college student was first tried in the media, where he was forced to confess, through tears, that he had attempted to steal a banner. The North Korean government said he committed “an anti-state crime with ‘the tacit connivance of the U.S. government and under its manipulation,'” yet it is difficult to see how the United States was connected with this petty crime.
Warmbeir begged for forgiveness for this alleged ‘hostile act’, saying that his attempted theft was to bring home a trophy from the hotel in which he was staying. Yanggakdo International Hotel, like many hotels in North Korea has areas off-limits to foreigners. It was in this part of the hotel that Warmbeir attempted to lift the banner.

I think millions more should go there! Maybe straighten out that regime? Play some basketball ball or ping pong before you go off to the gulag! Bwhahahaha!!!
Why do they go there
Hope he comes out alive
Note to self: Never take a vacation to North Korea.
Well that one won’t be a snowflake
No
Can we round up alot more of these college students and send them over there also. Due to the fact that they hate this country so bad.
That’s what happens when a westerner goes to a communist country. What the hell was he thinking?
Others have visited with no problems – Taking it upon yourself to steal is always a bad idea – In some countries, one is immediately tortured and/or killed for stealing…
Anybody who is stupid eneough to go to North Korea, doesn’t get my sympathy!
Lets deport antifa thugs there lol
