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.

Why was he even there?
Oh no but will they provide him a safe place
Think the Chinese troops are to keep north Korean refugees from entering China if it was to assist north Korea it would be 1.5 million Chinese troops
Yeah china could easily handle this but clearly his beef is with us ..America.
In all seriousness China could ground troop from one side to the next and come out with minimal loss.
Most people have no idea how many people are in China.
….and THAT is what happens when you break the law in a foreign country.
This 21 year old entered a foreign country…broke the rules so too speak and somehow expected that he would be coddled like he has been in America…he’s used to our politically correct country and mothers and fathers making excuses for their poorly raised children…this is what it got hm….I don’t know, nor do I care, what he was doing there in the first place…he’s not 12 years old…which I think is the equivalent of a 21 year old in this country…at least that’s how these kids here are raised….you’re not in America kids when you go international…and North Korea? Idiot. And, Rita…their law is their law no matter what you think. This is what happens when you don’t respect their country. Doesn’t matter. This is one of the reasons why we have huge problems here….no respect for our country…and we don’t hold our intruders accountable…an idiotic government. Get it?
North Korea is NOT a country to be toyed with…no matter how small they seem to be. Unfortunately, this student was in the wrong. NK reminds me of that movie, “The Mouse that Roared”….

Ezekiel: 12
17 The word of Adonai came to me: 18 “Human being, shake as you eat your food; tremble anxiously as you drink your water; 19 and say to the people of the land, ‘Here is what Adonai Elohim says concerning those living in Yerushalayim in the land of Isra’el: “They will eat their bread in anxiety and drink their water in horror; because the land will be desolated from everything that fills it, due to the violence of those living there. 20 The inhabited cities will be laid waste, the land will be desolate, and you will know that I am Adonai.”’”
21 The word of Adonai came to me: 22 “Human being, don’t you have this proverb in the land of Isra’el, ‘Time keeps passing, and none of the visions are fulfilled’? 23 Therefore tell them that Adonai Elohim says, ‘I will put an end to that proverb; never again will they use it as a proverb in Isra’el.’ Tell them, ‘The time has come for the fulfillment of every vision. 24 There will no longer be empty visions or falsely optimistic divinations in the house of Isra’el, 25 because I am Adonai. I will speak; and whatever statement I make, it will be accomplished. It will no longer be delayed; for in your days, you rebellious house, I will speak the word and accomplish it,’ says Adonai Elohim.”
26 Again, the word of Adonai came to me: 27 “Human being, look! People from the house of Isra’el are saying, ‘The vision he sees concerns the distant future; he is prophesying about a time far off.’ 28 Therefore, say to them that Adonai Elohim says, ‘None of my words will be delayed any more, but the word that I speak will be accomplished,’ says Adonai Elohim.”
