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.

Not at all excessive. “When in Rome “. They don’t tolerate criminal activity. Maybe we should learn a lesson from them.
This is wrong America needs to stand up for this man
Hope he doesn’t have any student loans 15 year’s of interest would just suck.
That’s what you get you dumb$#%&!@*for going to a COMMIE country in the first place…SEE YA IN 15!!!
Have No Fear ..Bernie Sanders. Said he will do whatever he can ..and hopes to see you in 15 years
Exactly, he should have never listened. When his church ask him to do it for used car.
This guy is about to get a real eye opener. In N korea hard labor is = to concentration camp type hard labor.
He needs our prayers.
Only thing I can say what the$#%&!@*was he thinking …even for being in such a$#%&!@*hole as N.Korea …yeah that’s my ultimate spot to visit…NOT!!!
He’ll be there until Trump wins the election. Then mysteriously N. Korea will release him without reason.
Our colleges are pushing for a socialistic government here, hence bernie sanders popularity with college students. These students fall for this socialist propaganda hook, line and sinker.
