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.

Well if you are dumb enough to be there, you pay the price !
Just another stupid liberal…

There is a penalty for stupidity sometimes, well probably most the time..
Truth and Action.org I will quit following.I used to be able to go to your site with no pop ups now every time I go there an app wants me to leave the page.You cancel it and it keeps coming back until it changes by itself.Facebook is getting pretty pathetic!!!!!
Do the crime do the time. Stupid is as stupid does.
No pity here. I do NOT understand why anyone would want to take a trip to a place that is openly hostile to the United States and its citizens. If you choose to go to a country like this you can expect things like this to happen. Sorry error in judgement or not, I have no pity. He deserves what he gets.
Kenny, It has to be your computer and not Truth and Action’s page. I do not have the problem you’ve just described at all.
I too have the problem with this page!
Never go to North Korea. I am sad that North Korea is getting away with this. North Korea is bringing great shame on its country
