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.

But this dumbass was over there as a friend and supporter on the N Korean regime touting the wonderful utopian society they’ve created from what Ive read.
We should send all of our Berkley and other leftard idiot college students over there to enjoy some of the N Korean’s utopian hospitality.
Of course he cries like a$#%&!@* Great propaganda for the North
Their can’t see what coming for them yet . Little hope by trump to save them now by movement of Jesus coming soon to shame all .
“A college style theft of a “hotel trophy” in almost any other place on earth would be a misdemeanor with a sentence to fit the crime, but in North Korea, it is a 15 year sentence with hard labor.” I’ll bet there isn’t much petty theft or vandalism in NK. Commit the crime, do the time. In Singapore, you get whipped with a bamboo cane for spitting chewing gum on the ground. Guess how much chewing gum is found stuck to the ground, or on your shoes in Singapore?
Just a hostage. Give them billions to advance their Nuclear agenda and he may go free in 12 or so.
Idiot why did you go to the shithole?
Oh, and if he would have BURNED the banner like he would an American Flag, he would not need imprisonment…..he would be DEAD!
Terrell Smith nice try! Says here he’s a socialist.
Seems to me that this kid is too stupid to live. 15 years of hard labor will probably do him some good.
