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.

Hate filled bigot
Someone needs to look harder at that ugly ex basketball player that goes to North Korea to play footsie with Wang Foo or whatever his name.
You are a moron obviously. Try looking up the definition of socialism. Nk is a totalitarian communist dictatorship. Exactly what we WOULD have under a president trump. Your fear and bigotry cloud your judgment.
Did you even attend high school? Fear + ignorance = bigot = YOU
Huge difference. Nk is a totalitarian communist dictatorship. Look up the definition of socialism. Educate yourself. Stop this silly bigotry.
Lmao… George hit tree?
Who goes to North Korea for vacation?
Rick I never said it was a hand out or Socialism. But forms of Democratic Socialism, which it is. An they’re a lot of others also. A socialist program is Democratic Socialism, period. Your opinion of whether or not it is, is irrelevant to the FACT that it IS.
Blinded by the left.
Awwww Sabine unable to form an actual intelligent opinion. Bless your heart.
