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.

I’m guessing you’re a huge liberal just like him ..
A’m not sorry for him ;-( what was he thing to pull that inNorth Korea? anyway what the hell was he doing there anyway?
You’re guessing 100% wrong, dude. First of all WTF makes you think he’s a liberal? You’re misguided and overzealous. You need to redirect your passion from JUST hating liberals to acting like an American. An American kid gets 15 years for trying to swipe a stupid poster by the biggest thug communists in the world and your apathetic, judgemental cracks are against the American? Get your priorities straight. You are the type of person I am embarrassed to be associated with as a conservative.
He is think I have to work , no I made it this far without working
Chuck Sanders intelligent is a big word for you… lol
Chuck Sanders my reply expressed Bernie can go straight to hell, but if you are so inclined, feel free to lead the way!
He’s stupid..most liberals are stupid.. He’s clueless about the true nature of socialism.. Another liberal trait… He thinks he’s exempt from consequences for his actions… Very liberal trait… Conclusion.. He’s a liberal…
You may be republican.. But you’re not conservative
This is a hard way to learn respect.It should have been taught by parents and the school system.This is like the americans hiking in Iraq in war time.They were STUPID STUPID STUPID!!
You’re a hopeless redneck looking for a target and too careless to pick the right ones. If you’re presuming to know who I am merely from this interaction, it’s no use having this conversation. You’re an embarrassment.
