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.

Smith another know nothing that’s thinks he knows it all..See how Mike posted FACT and didn’t just spew lies Terrell? Anyone can say anything and that’s what liberals do make up lies and say prove me wrong next time find out the facts… Thanks Mike for pointing that out..
Two questions. One, why would you go there in the first place? Second, if you were to go, why didn’t you learn the laws before you went? While indeed sad, it is often a hard lesson to learn, but actions do have consequences. This is something that unfortunately most college students haven’t learned yet.
third word countrys enforce theyre laws and dont tolerate anything like america does
So his family is in financial dire straits and this is why he did it.
Really I would think the first thing would to use the money spent going there to help your family
Terrell Smith I consider myself a conservative but there is no excuse for stealing. I’m not saying that I agree with the punishment but he knew exactly where he was and what he was attempting.
