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.

So Alan Noga, with our taxes you want us to support them in prison ?
they won’t get much out of this pussie…
If you break the law in a foreign country, they lock you up and throw away the key until your prison term is up.

Typical college idiot. Maybe his family can contact Dennis Rodman to talk to the little leader and get this idiot a pardon.
all college students need to spend a year in socialist communist country for a year……with no help from parents or the government…..before they are allowed into the US…
At least he will be able to speak another language when he gets out.
