Is US going to do anything about the life of this student?

15 of forced labor in internment camp! This guy is Fuuucked

>go to a country that's not to be fucked with
>literally steal their flag and try to turn people against their own government
>surprised when you get the boot
dude was probably a redditor too
he can learn what true socialism is during his 15 years
Isn't this maybe just a setup for this guy.... Did you saw is speech? I mean he is American after all, they may have just incriminated him
>Warmbier
his last name literally means warm beer
disgusting
>>29266
Didn't he just steal some random propaganda poster and how did he try to turn people against other than by depriving them of another propaganda poster?
>>29284
>propaganda poster
He stole a government poster, that's very illegal. As a visitor one should have the greatest respect for their hosts. This young man made a very bad mistake and should be held accountable.
>>29264
He'll be able to get out faster if we memefy him... The left two pictures are very workable!
>>29283
best corea please castrate him, this family name must die out
I want this guy freed. Better bump the thread.
>not owning up to your actions and taking your punishment like a man

Enjoy your stay.
>>29291
NK shill detected.
>>29294
15 years of it. He'll come back home a different person, if they release him, that is.
>Way to go dumbass
>So much for college
>>29294
>>29350
You can call him retarded all you want but he doesn't actually deserve any of this. Not that you have to sympathize but you don't have to be an ass neither
>>29387
> not having to be an ass
> 4chan commentary
Pick one.
>>29264
>North Korea alleges he was encouraged by a secretive university society and the CIA
NK is not going to be happy with you Americans.
>>29264
Invasion when?
>>29291
kill yourself chink
the kid is a dumbass but at least he's not a shill
The US does nothing for now. Maybe the next President. I dont like Obama, but even I would say this is a "punt" considering Jun Un is a madman and the next President takes office in less than 10 months.
In my humble opinion, his mistake was going to North Korea in the first place, and secondly, I would be suing the ever living shit out of the university for telling students "Lets go on an epic adventure in the single most repressive country on earth. It will be fun and educational"
Whoever thought this trip was a good idea belongs in prison, not the student
>>29294
You would do the same if I told you I am going to beat you, work you until you collapse, and then beat you more for the next 15 years.
He is a white American liberal college kid. He WILL die in North Korean prison.
>>29291
>Taking a souvenir
>death camp for 15 years
I know right, stupid fucker had it coming
>>29471
It's North Korea - a literal fascist hellhole. What did he expect? He deserved it because he took no precautions.
>>29291
This. Don't wanna do the time, don't do the crime.
>>29383
>>29412
I'm the shill? This man, from a hostile nation, stole a poster in an attempt to impair the unity of the North's people. It is subversion in NK, and punishable by law. American's are let in on special circumstances as tourists, but not as those with political and subversive motives like he has.
>>29471
>stealing government property as a souvenir
>stealing government property in a totalitarian hellhole run by a tyrant
He's a fucking retard and he had it coming.
>>29473
This. Just because It's okay to spit in peoples faces where you live doesn't mean that other place won't hang you for it.
His thought process should have been "Is NK a fascist shit-hole?"
Yes
"Does the NK like the US"
No, not at all
"Should I therefore steal anything in this country?"
No I should not.
I feel sorry for the fucker but you don't slap a hornets nest only to get surprised when the darn hornets try their darnedest to do you in.
>>29471
>being in NK in the 1st place
Serves the idiot right.
Anyone see the video of his trial? What a pathetic nu-male cuck. He knows he's going to a forced labor camp and he's bowing to those stunted gooks? Dude could have kung fu'd his way out if he were a real man.
>>29471
He really did have it coming. That was a horrible lapse in judgment on his part.
Imagine how much a legit Nork propaganda poster would be worth on ebay...
>>29266
Where does it say he's a Socialist?
>>29266
>he can learn what true socialism is during his 15 years
????
He's majoring in business, which is the one of the least Socialist someone can do.
>>29291
You're kidding, right? Fine him for the fucking poster, don't ruin the idiots life. You Socialists are all fucking cucks to the precious leader.
>>29571
His face, his bow tie, his ironic cereal shirt, his trendy cardigan, the dick up his ass, the brainwashing college he attended, etc.
>>29578
He's going into business, I highly doubt he's a socialist. Unless a socialist can be a socialist while embracing capitalism.
>>29576
They literally ruin every citizen's life just for being born there. Why would they care about a filthy capitalist longdick?
>>29580
I was replying to a retard trying to justify it.
>>29576
I don't think you understand.
Its not Russia or some shit. It's NORTH KOREA.
It is one of the few places on earth that is a literal hell hole.
They're not going to fine an American when they can parade him around.
The NK is not very friendly with the US you know?
Yes, they should have fined him. They should also not be a fucked up country run by a bunch of megalomaniacs but yet, there they are.
The kid went to NK and thought he could steal shit. That will end bad.
If you went to Iraq during Saddam Hussein's reign and pissed on his banner then you'd be hung.
Even though they really should have let you go with a slap on the wrist.
They live in a different kind of world and when you take the decision to enter it you play by their rules.
The kid doesn't deserve it for stealing a poster, but rather for playing with fire, regardless of the "WARNING, HOT FUCKING FIRE, YOU WILL GET BURNT" sign right next to it.
>>29583
>As a visitor one should have the greatest respect for their hosts. This young man made a very bad mistake and should be held accountable.
I understand completely, but 15 years in a work camp is hardly being held accountable. When will North Korea be held accountable for their crimes? When will we finally give that place what they deserve?
>>29264
The US has to do something, I'm not saying that diplomatic immunity should be given but his sentence should be done by an American court. His imprisonment is to long for such a small crime in our world.
>>29586
Its not a fair sentence. That's what I'm telling you.
But it is fair to THEM, and he committed a crime in their country so they have the right to chose the punishment.
I'd love to see that place get some new management as the old gets thrown of some bridge with rope around their necks. But until that day comes, anyone willing to break the law in NK(or any shithole like it) will have to face unfair consequences.
>>29587
So if a North Korean commited a crime in the US you would be OK with it being prosecuted in a North Korean court?
>>29593
Amusingly do have a law that extends to this:
Article 245 (Damaging the Prestige of the Republic in Foreign Countries)
A citizen who damages the prestige of the Republic in foreign countries shall be punished by
reform through labour for less than three years. In cases where the person commits a grave
offence, he or she shall be punished by reform through labour for more than three years and
less than eight years.
>>29266
What in the actual fuck? This is not what happened at all holy shit.
>>29264
The Norks will let him go after two. They're just putting his balls in a vice because the war games are still going on down south.
what are the chances North Korea said they'd go easy on him if he denounced the United States?
"I never, never should have allowed myself to be lured by the United States administration to commit a crime in this country,"
"I wish that the United States administration never manipulate people like myself in the future to commit crimes against foreign countries. I entirely beg you, the people and government of the DPRK, for your forgiveness. Please! I made the worst mistake of my life!"
Or is he just another American trust funder who doesn't think about the consequences of his actions?
He was just a kid
He dindu nuffin
>>29634
Unlikely. The story he made up turned it political and actually increased the sentence per their criminal code. So not smart.
I think he just acted dumb and it has since inflated.
>>29636
I feel even less sorry for him now.
>go to a country where just being related to someone can put you in a work camp fo the rest of your life
>attempt petty theft
>get 15 years
>cry about it
>>29635

>>29533
So? Doesn't make it right. Guess its OK to kidnap someone and chop them to bits if they walk down a dark alley because "they have it coming"?
>>29656
Walking down a dark alley and being punished
vs
Stealing something (universally illegal) from a country while you are visiting it knowing it has harsher penalties than your homeland
Bad comparison.
>>29656
>apples and oranges amirite!?
doesn't matter what your concept of right and wrong is when we're talking about a country with a divine dictator and the most oppressive government on the planet.

If that person walking down the alley saw a sign that said "warning you will might be killed for stepping into this alley" then proceeded to walk down that alley to a guy with a butcher knife, only to call him a cunt and steal his bandana.
He got what was coming to him.
I seriously hope so. He made a mistake but this is an insanely punitive act by North Korea's regime.
>>29284
>random propaganda poster
That's the property of the State. A valuable communication tool for inspiring hard-working citizens to work harder, comrade. Destruction of state media is a direct attack on the state.
>>29567
About $6.29.
Or 15 years hard labor.

>>29656
a better analogy would be a man jumps into a tiger pen and goes up to the tiger and tries to tickle it. Tiger then eats the mans face.
You see tickling to the man and most people is like Fred stealing the poster. Most people would consider it a harmless act, but the tiger, which represents North Korea, doesn't give a fuck and only cares about a stranger invading it's personal space. Can't blame a tiger for being a tiger.

This. You have to be a little stupid to even set foot in a shithole like NK. Like, what the fuck was he there for anyway? Social media cred? Well, looks like he got it.

I'm not saying the kid shouldn't stay in jail there, but you need to work on not sounding like a shill. Even if you are one, you're completely ineffectual without that "subversion" you're going on about. Who the fuck would listen to someone so blindly spew shit like you are?
>>29706
Aaaah communism. How I loathe thee. That type of rhetoric should be saved for the plebs it actually works on, you know, the people with no outside information? Kinda like the NK people. Maybe you should move there.
>>29721
Hmm he's reading a prepared statement. Prays. Deliberate gestures. No tears Body language is not that of a stupid fratboy.

such a lovely place: >>>/hr/2583748
>>29725
I'm just telling you how it is. It obviously was ineffectual for that young man to, and look how that worked out for him.
I'm not blindly spewing, I'm stating facts.
>>29264
Sounds like a bitch. He won't do 15. White priviledge
>>29707
>About $6.29.

which would roughly equate to $6.29 in NK ehehe

Fucking muricans, there are only a few countries that don't pull their pants down to get fucked by the US, and they are destroying them one by one.
>>29710
If he's going to fight a pointless fight, he could at least take his punishment like a man. It's so fucking obvious he was just being a dumb college kid and then decided to make ir political so he wouldn't be put on the same level as thosr chinks who carved their names into the pyramids.
>>29850
Dude... defending north korea, srly??
I suspect that a great lot was lost in translation. To wit, he probably wasn't sentenced for _stealing_ the poster, he was sentenced for _taking it down_ i.e. for interfering with government propaganda, which in all authoritarian states is considered a form of rebellion, an attempt to ignite the overthrowing of the system. I am not exactly surprised all western media outlets report this as theft, though, because most western people never lived in a totalitarian regime and cannot easily imagine how seriously does such a system take the defacing of their public propaganda materials. The closest analogy would be someone defacing crucifixes during the height of the Inquisition's power.
>>29350
>implying he wrote that speech
>>29264
They want to trade him for a ricebag probably.
>>29264
Couldn't you just ask for some propaganda shit?
Claim its for spreading the glory of best korea to the evil capitalist west.
I doubt they would say no. What this kid did is incredibly stupid.
>>29741
This. The statement is obviously rehearsed. No tears, just shit tier acting. This is clearly to make Americans look like weak cry babies. It is also beneficial for the united states, as this makes NK look bad for having extraordinary punishments. This is a nicely doctored event, probably by both CIA and NK secret service.
>>29264
looks like an arrogant leftie cunt
good riddance
>>29264
How do we know he even did anything at all? Because best Korea said so?
Because this guy made an obviously coerced speech?
I don't tend to believe people notorious for lying, idk about you
>>29903
>both CIA and NK secret service.
Word. We can only hope that our boys compromise Best Korean security services and quietly take down the Kim dynasty.
>>29840
But he's right

Why so violent? This is typical of westerner when confronted with someone who doesn't always obey their wishes? Go pout to someone else.
>>29863
No, I'm criticizing amurica.
>>29992
Theres a video of him on the personal staff area
>>29992
There's no more plausible alternative. He interfered with government propaganda, and then nobody dared to interfere with the judicial machine because only Kim the Fattest is allowed to do so anyway and Kim had a bad hair day when the affair was brought to his attention.
NK isn't politically correct, if he had done anything else they would have no incentive to keep silent about it. The entire wrapping of "the american administration made me do it" is standard fare in stalinism, peasants who failed to deliver planned crop quantities were accused of - and made to confess to - having been influenced by american agents to do so.
Of course he will be used as a bargaining chip sooner or later. But this does not mean the affair was concocted or provoked. It's more like a severe case of 'american student doesn't understand bolshevik totalitarian logic; soon thereafter NK has a lucky break'.
>>29291
I mostly agree with you. He was an idiot to even attempt what he was doing. Should have just taken a picture with his phone and been done with it.
Why the fuck was he in NK to begin with?
NK did nothing wrong. The burger consented to the North Korean social contract by being in that country.
>15 years exercising out in the clean air while eating farm-grown produce instead of McDonalds shit
Guys going to come home ripped to shit, fluent in four new languages with a lifetime of stories, he'll be managing his own business by the time he's 40 and thinking back that those 15 years were the best thing that could have happened to him.
>>30330
Are you stupid?
>>30330
If he actually serves 15 years (which he won't) he's going to die of malnutrition-related ailments or work-related injuries before he ever leaves.
>>30334
He'll only be in his mind thirties bro. But he'll probably only learn one language, and come out of this not rebuilt but broken
>>29291
This. If you don't like their rules, don't go there. It's that simple.

>faggot getting BTFO by Best Korea

Does the US have to get him back? They say not to travel there.
>thousands
Dude just the plane ticket costs thousands.
Ofcourse the punishment isn't proportionate, but he could literally see it coming.. Ffs
That kid is going to die in there, fuck Norks.
That kid is going to die or suffer permanent physical and mental trauma. Invasion of North Korea is long overdue anyway, we just need China and Russia to get on board.
Otto is going to be painted as the "evil American " to feed Nork propaganda, this is all bullshit.

Why should the United States government step in and help someone who knowingly traveled to a third world place that is literally insane?
This guy knew before travelling that there are no diplomatic ties and frankly, he tried to 1up the DPRK system of mass surveillance for a cash prize. He fucked up, all of the sudden the suburbs seem like a nice place after all.
This is what happens when you think that you are smarter than everyone else around you, you make mistakes. Dictatorships have been rigging hotels in communist countries for DECADES.
You don't steal from the Korean version of Cartman from South Park. A fucking fat kid with the worlds biggest fireworks and an obsession with being seen as confident and cool.
