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.

Knowing how North Korea is
Let me ask you a question
Who goes there for any reason ?
I agree…
100% right what idiot would go there
They r passed at Trump so no w/o see they did that 2 get back at him cuz he’s a kid . What do u think ?
Korean dictatorship is very inhumane
I wonder if he thought that all countries treat American stupidity with a slap on the wrist and he would be sent home – a very hard lesson to learn for someone so young – Communism and Socialistic countries are very harsh places to live especially the isolated ones. Maybe Trump can do persuade China to help!.
why would anyone want to go to North Korea??
North Korea should take all our millenials and show them what fascism,Marxism and hard labour are really all about. They may be ready to be Americans after a year or too.
libtards are so stupid to go against the wishes of inhumane dictatorships…
Lol right?!! Geez
