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.

It’s a political stunt! N Korea wants something and they are using this young Kid to get it!
If come to my house and steal from me, I would beat you within an inch of your life, heal you and repeat. So I have no sympathy for this jackwagon. You go to a county well known to be hostel to us and do this. You get what you deserve.
I wish the protesters at Trump rally would go there and protect. That would be good for them.
Chuck Sanders has fell victim to marketing hahahaha
Every white guy claims Cherokee blood, and you may have but about 90% of white guys claiming Cherokee blood don’t have, hence most Natives make jokes about white Cherokee
And Jeff Alpaugh as a Caddo/ Shawnee I don’t expect you to give back what was stolen but I do expect you to be mindful of the despicable nature of the crime
People in this country want same thing here.Wake up people!

But I’m still right. When the peoples taxes are used for social programs that is democratic socialism in action.
