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.

reality check. help, obama.
So, this socialist, communist country is punishing someone who broke the law, and he happens to be an American. What is the difference between that and the ones who the ‘Democrats’ are presenting for president of our country. They have encouraged foreigners to come into our country without consequences for breaking our laws. They have encouraged the denial of many many people’s rights to free speech, unless its in agreement with their own opinions. They have, because of turning their blinders on, encouraged many people to become violent if they don’t get their way. From where I’m sitting, there is no difference in the North Korean government and our own democratic party. That’s why I’m leaving the Democrat party.
Chuck Sanders yeah, straight to hell!
To bad they did not teach him not to be stupid.
Wow you guys are dumb. Social services are socialist in nature. Socialism encompasses many different practices for many aspects of how a nation runs. You can’t say that all socialism is bad because Nazis were national socialists. You can have a democratic republic with a socialist economy. Why does everything have to fall under one label? Let’s take the best out of every system.
