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.

Too bad he didn’t observe the phrase,” if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime.”

People where is the righteous indignation over his man plight. What he did was stupid but 15 years really. Absurd.
Ohhhh todd they are all forms of democratic socialism. Peoples tax money pays for them. You can live in denial of it all you want. But it is still the truth.
How you like me now, says America!
I suggest you take advantage of the public library to read a book for an education not Internet mems. The knowledge that you can gain will lift you out of the ignorance you currently dwell in.

If you go to the library the books will tell you the socialism is part of communism and the decline of a nation it has never worked it is going backwards!
Yet those things work great here. How about social security and Medicare.
Why do you work so hard at remaining ignorant.
