Which SF team would /k/ sent or which one would be the best to rescue him?
None. Thievery is terrible and should not be supported.
>>29290827
>Which SF team would /k/ sent or which one would be the best to rescue him?
None. No one's life is worth it to rescue that faggot.
>>29290827
He did a stupid thing in probably the worst country in the world to do a stupid thing. He got exactly what he deserves.
>>29290827
durrr, lets go to the fantasy playground of a madman and commit crimes, yaaay
>>29290827
A smug rich kid got cocky and tried to steal from a country that feeds people to dogs as a method of execution, let the stupid bastard rot as a warning to others.
>admitting to stealing the banner
>not going for a speech where he praises the grorious leaders or the DPRK and shittalks the US and Obama
>implying they would imprison him when he just joined their cult
I wonder what his time in prison will be like?
I expect he servers 3-5 years before dying.
>>29290827
>being coddled and dumb enough to visit North Korea thinking it would be a nice experience
>trying to steal something from one of the harshest dictatorships on earth
I'm gonna say none of them. Let the retard wait it out for two years then the Koreans will let him go.
>>29290827
going to best korea.
he knew what he was up to.
>>29290827
>Going to NK
>Supporting NK with funding no matter how little
>Being a thieving rat
Maybe 15 years hard labor will make him realize that hard work is better than theft.
>>29290943
>let him go
I doubt it, unless the US gives them something in return. They'll probably make him serve the full term to show they have some power over the US and are willing to stand up to them, at least that would fit with their posturing mindset.
>>29290938
Don't expect him to serve his full term - the Norks pretty regularly pull shit like this as a ploy to get something out of the West. Expect him to be released sometime in the near future in return for some meaningless relaxation of sanctions
>>29290827
>go into the sarloc pit
>expect to be rescued from the sarloc pit
Enjoy death, fuccboi
>>29290827
you literally have to be retarded to do anything remotely illegal in Best Korea
You have to be mildly retarded to even want to go there to begin with
>>29290969
This same thing has happened before, Korea let's them sweat a bit and makes the US talk with them, then they get let em go.
>>29290827
>Go to fucking North Korea
>Act like a stupid asshole and commit a crime
>Expect anything else but an all-expenses paid (by your sweat, blood and tears) trip to Chateau Gulag
Nothing of value was lost.
Are we forgetting when they chimped out and killed a soilder?
I hope it happens again.
So what did he actually do? Are these just some trumped-up charges or did he actually go out and break the law?
>>29290827
Who the fuck goes on vacation in North Korea anyway?
>>29291052
He actually tried to steal shit to sell
>>29290827
So I guess we're all just going to keep letting this happen. Idc if the kid was a dumbass, he's not their citizen. The world is run exclusively by a bunch of cucks and Kim Jong-un
>>29291052
What I had read was that he attempted to steal some regime banner. Which I honestly believe.
>>29291090
>Break a law in another country
>WAAA WHY ARE THEY PUNISHING HIM ACCORDING TO THEIR LAW
He's lucky they don't cut off his hands
>>29291090
We can't take action for every retard that travels to another country and breaks their laws. If we want to stop this happening we should ban travel to North Korea all together.
>>29291113
I'm not saying the idiot shouldn't get in trouble, I'm saying North Korea is the only country that isn't run by cucks. Whine all you want about his crime, I'm saying the US is a huge bitch for not doing anything.
>>29291134
How are you going to enforce that?
>WE SHOULD JUST BAN THING!
Sounds pretty liberal to me
>>29291052
Someone from his church offered to trade him a $10,000 car for a stolen propaganda poster from Worst Korea.
He gets the bright idea to steal one from his hotel room, the one REGISTERED TO HIS NAME.
>tfw
>>29291142
Why should we do anything? He's a criminal who willingly went there
>>29291113
hes lucky they dont use him as target practice for a howitzer.
i guess they save that shit for family friends
>>29291157
>why should we do anything
To prove to North Korea that we aren't going to take their shit. But I guess everyone here is ready to dish up.
>>29291142
I don't want us to do anything. Let the retard sit in jail. Why should other Americans risk their lives to save this idiot?
>>29291178
Take their shit? This guy is a thief. He was a guest in their country and tried to steal from them. He's a disgrace to America. This isn't some random guy who they decided to just hold. We have bigger problems than this idiot
I'd get a South Korean team to infiltrate and disguise themselves as party officials.
Talk some shit about transferring him or something, if they argue threaten to feed their family to dogs. Then take him to the coast to get evac from a boat before anyone realises what's up.
Heli extraction would be too risky, and although a US team could get in easily enough, I don't think they could collect the prisoner and then get the fuck out without attracting too much attention.

This kid is so fucking stupid. He should have just asked their guide for some posters to "educate the americans on the glory of best korea" and they probably would have sent him home with a full press kit.
The last thing I need to see is some blubbering kid or his blubbering parents on TV saying how he dindu nuffin
>>29291101
>>29291149
Ok yeah that sounds like the kind of idiocy I'd expect from a UVA student.
We should kill all the Koreans and then kill him, shows the US isn't pussies while holding the idiot accountable.
>>29290872
> feeding criminals to livestock
I support this
>>29291197
>>29291191
Hey, I'm not arguing with your beliefs or anything. I'm just saying the US is being a total cuck, and that NK is winning.
>>29291225
>Nk
>Winning at anything
Lol. I fail to see how USA is a cuck for letting a disgraceful thief be punished according to the countries laws he broke the law in. Sounds fine to me.
>>29291197
Even if he is retarded, it's a pretty blatant human rights violation to have the punishment for petty theft be 15 years of hard labor.
It really looks like this is just a ploy to get some of the recent sanctions relaxed.
>>29291225
So what would you have the US do then?
>>29291134
>we should ban travel
You don't belong on this board desu
>>29291143
> How are you going to enforce that?
The punishment is ending up in North Korea.
>>29290827
none he got what he deserved, but i would send letters to him calling him an idiot and revoke his citizenship so he can stay in best korea forever
>>29291212
>>29291213
Dat 4 second hivemind, doe.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that had he just expressed an interest in propaganda, they'd have basically drowned him in the shit. But he tried snatching shit off a wall like a fucking retard on Spring Break in Cancun. In North fucking Korea. Where everything is watched all the time.
Fuck him. I say we deny him reentry to the US when he is released just to keep him out of our fucking gene pool.
>>29291246
/pol/ has it right
>>29291241
Letting NK think they've won is effectively the same thing as letting them win.
>>29290973
>releasing a criminal from serving an obscene sentence in exchange for admittedly meaningless political leverage
I think they are just trying to look hard on crime. Kinda like America's war on drugs.
>lol you faggots think you have a right to do what you want with your body
>how dare you smoke harmless plants
>you should be bankrupting yourself for stupid doctors bills and dangerous pharmaceuticals instead
Murica. Where choosing debt over logical and safer alternatives is required.
>>29291212
I'm surprised they don't just sell those things in the lobby. Shit, I'd buy one for my gun room.
>>29291225
so you want the US to waste thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours of man power to save some idiot?
>>29291220
>dogs
>livestock
U wot?
>>29291276
I'm already paying my taxes kiddo, it's not my job to see how it's allocated correctly.
>>29290827
He made his bed and now he has to lie in it.
Although we'll probably negotiate his release to give the Norks some corn or something.
>>29291276
This is America, we regularly waste hundreds of millions on stupid things
Florida banned solar panels so energy workers can keep their jobs... That's like admitting that energy companies aren't going to be necessary soon, but you'll ban technological progress so people can go to their useless job and feel good about themselves.
That's sad. Thinking you're working and bettering society, but you're really not.
that kid probably cost the US a few million in aid promises and a few million in in US gov red tape overtime pay for negotiators and staffers
for a $10k car.
the gov should take the other kids car out of pure spite and crush it
>>29291257
Ban is the wrong word, but we have to let people traveling there know, hey, we can't come rushing to the rescue if you decide to do something stupid.
>>29291262
>keep him out of our fucking gene pool
When he gets out in 15 years, will any woman even want to sleep with a 36 year old nork prisoner?
>>29291273
Nope. They've done this before. Remember when those two journalists snuck into Best Korea and got 12 years of hard labor? We just sent Bill Clinton over there to rescue them.
All that's gonna happen is he'll stew in prison for a couple months until we send over a former president on a rescue mission.
>>29291283
> korea
>>29291246
Maybe, but it's their country and their laws.
I remember that retard back in the 90s who went to Singapore and got caught tagging cars. And then the entire US gets its panties in a twist because the Singaporean government actually physically punishes people for being asshole vandals. Yeah, fuck that guy. I wish they'd have just beaten him to death with a fucking billy club instead of caning him.
It's like the retards we get here in Texas from California who can't fucking fathom why they're getting arrested for having a baggie of weed, maaan. It's because that shit is illegal, you fucktarded genetic landfill. You break law, you go to jail. You no want jail? You no breakie the law.
>>29291307
>FL banned solar panels
no they didnt retard. stop reading huffpo
>>29291090
Not being from a country doesn't make you exempt from that country's laws. Unless you want that to go both ways and have aliens, illegal and legal, in America be immune to punishment in a court of law.
>>29291307
That is kinda dumb, but solar is just a meme. Nuclear is where it's at. If environmentalists were well informed, the Sierra club, Greenpeace, the Audubon society, from top to bottom, would all be calling for nuclear nonstop. Unfortunately, we live in a non ideal world.
>>29291313
Lots and lots of South Korean women. He's still American you know.
>>29291225
>I'm just saying the US is being a total cuck, and that NK is winning.
So US citizens should be given a free licence to commit crimes abroad? He broke the local laws and should be punished by their courts and prisons, if you do not like that system stop visiting shitholes that sentence you to death for petty theft.
>>29291307
Are you serious? That is literally what Anthem was written about.
>but what about the candle makers, they won't have a job if your electric light catches on
>>29291320
Oh yeah of course he's retarded for breaking the law, and he's entirely at fault for the sentence he's received. But at the same time, it's very clearly an extreme punishment for a minor crime.
I do always love the outrage whenever some foreign national gets convicted for a crime they committed in some other country. Remember all the butthurt over the Aussie citizens executed in Indonesia for smuggling a literal assload of super-heroin or some shit into the country?
>>29291332
They have a word for it you know, it's called extradition. I would have no issue with the US ejecting its foreign criminals back to their home countries.
>>29291178
All that would prove is that we're willing to commit an act of aggression in the defense of a criminal, you mongoloid.
If you go to another country and break their laws, that's on you. It's not Papa Government's responsibility to bail you out of trouble.
>stealing from a supervillain
>when you are neither James Bond nor Batman
Dumb rich kid getting what he deserves, I wonder how confused he was when his bribes didn't work
>>29290827
not stealing trump signs now, are you boy?
>>29291342
So.... are you saying laying electric lines, erecting poles, and checking meters will become an artisan craft one day?
People still buy candles, dude. Especially in places that experience power outages every few years.

>>29291308
>fine him for taxpayer money wasted
>if he can't pay confiscate car
I'm okay with that.
>>29291355
Extradition is when someone is indicted for a crime but they're no longer in one area's jurisdiction. You're thinking of deportation, which generally isn't done for serious crimes. And for the Norks, everything is a serious crime.
>>29291320
To be fair, the whole thing about weed is a stupid law.
But I do get your point. The law is the law, whether you agree with it or not. If you don't like it, then I guess you need to lobby to change it.
>>29291315
So... is this just North Korea's way of saying "we want to have talks, but we don't want to be the ones that initiate it"?
Is this just what politics has become over there?
For all we know, the kid is in on it and acting..
>>29291318
Ah yes, the famous North Korean cuisine of dog milk, dog cheese, dog steak etc
How silly of me for not thinking dogs are livestock
>>29291322

>>29290827
Leave the guy, he is doing a greater service to his country by justifying more sanctions than he would in his entire life being a lanky faggot on our shores.
Doesn't pretty much everyone who goes to NK end up getting charged and imprisoned? I remember this one old guy getting like 20 years of harsh labor for speaking against the state or something last year.
>>29291430
Dogs are seriously something people eat in eastern Asia. Especially China, and probably North Korea too because what else is there to eat?
>>29291417
>weed is a stupid law!
get shot hedonist
>>29291430
They eat dogs in Korea
Doesn't the US have people serving life sentences for such heinous crimes as stealing a slice of pizza?
>>29291320
>>29291417
The thing is, EVERYTHING IS ILLEGAL.
I went to a pet store when I was little and when I grew up I learned a little about laws, and EVERYTHING that pet store was doing was illegal. Odds are he didn't know it.
Do you have ANY IDEA how many laws there are? You can literally stay at home and never leave your room and still break the law.
The entire system needs an overhaul with a focus on individual rights and freedoms vs public rights and freedoms.. maybe I'm dumb but when every cop in New York became a felon because part of their issue pistol was banned, I started to think that this is fucking stupid. All Americans are criminals, yet at the same time there's legal precedence for literally both sides of EVERYTHING so precedence as a basis for law is obsolete....
Shit makes no sense.
>>29291464
Well yes, but that is for repeat offenders.
>>29291449
WHAT ABOUT PIGS AND COWS AND CHICKENS AND GOATS AND FISH AND ALL THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER TASTY ANIMALS?
You think they went "ah fuck it we'll just breed dogs to feed ourselves instead of breeding chickens and cows"?
You think there are dog farmers and dog herders?
Ugh, there probably are.
>>29291452
Hedonism is defined by doing what is both pleasurable and harmless. Get fucked, tyrant. If you don't like fun then keep it to yourself.

There are dog breeders, there are breeds of dog specifically for consumption.
That doesn't mean they only eat that kind of dog but there are preferred varieties.
>>29291339
I doubt that marrying a guy who has been in north korean prison for 15 years will look like a good way to get a US citizenship.
>>29291477
Everything is illegal in America, the average citizen commits multiple misdemeanors each day. Repeated commission of misdemeanors is felonious.
Every American should be in jail because every American breaks the law regularly.
THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN. I'm not sure if it ever actually worked.
>>29291514
Post more info about breeds of dogs meant for food
Are there actually dog farms?
>>29291452
I don't partake, but if someone wants to destroy themselves with drugs that's not my business. As long as they don't go harming anyone else in the process.
>>29291548
It's become a social issue in south korea, but is still common in China and Vietnam.
>cry and beg
This is really the worst way to get any sympathy from communists. They already know you are a decadent american homo pig dog. The only thing crying will bring you is spite from the judge.

If they disagree then we put our foot down. Even if the little shit did fuck up and steal something, he doesn't deserve this, and we should finally put our foot down with those little fucks. Literally everyone on earth is tired of their shit. Even China.

Worst case scenario is the Norks manage to launch a nuke, which is quickly stopped and destroyed in their own land/airspace where nothing of value will be lost.
In honesty, I seriously doubt a war would even last more than a couple months until either Kim or Millitary Leaders are gone. I doubt their millitary or even Civillians would even bother to fight a war for a dead leader and a dead nation.
It's simple. Cut the head off the snake and the body dies.

You realize if he'd gone to Indonesia, Malaysia, or even post-coup Thailand, he'd get smacked with the same exact sort of bid, right? They don't fuck around in eastern cultures with thieves. Its a cultural thing. He's been given a significant amount of leniency by the DPRK in the sense that they didn't just kill him immediately. He's an agent of a state they are currently at war with.
>>29291579
>>29291586
Poor doges.
They don't look like they are particularly meaty... you'd think by now they'd have used selective breeding to create a dog the size of a pony or something.
I wonder what they feed them? Other dogs?
Carnivores just never really made good livestock because feeding an animal meat to get meat is kinda counter productive.
>>29291646
Yes but, Indonesia, Malaysia, and post-coup Thailand don't have a history a being the autistic, sperglord of the Region.
You guys should check this out. A lot of them don't serve very long sentences. We'll see how it plays out.

I remember once I was in Thailand and around the same time, there was this Belgian dude who thought it would be fun to graffiti a poster of the king. Well maybe it was fun, but the 15 years he spent in prison after that not so much..whenin Rome, do as the Romans.
>>29291649
Well since one doesn't intend to keep the dogs alive for a very long time you could get away with a vegetarian diet, possibly. Dogs aren't obligate carnivores after all.
>>29291687
You're right...
Holy shit.
>>29291349
This. I think drug laws are dumb as hell. Especially execution.
Still it is no one's fault but their own. If you smuggle mother fucking drugs in a country that will kill you for it then you have absolutely zero sense of risk management. I mean most of the people arrested are TOURISTS. They clearly don't need the money that badly.
Smuggling a ball of heroin in your butthole isn't worth spending another month fucking Thai lady boys. Stealing a Nork poster isn't worth $10,000 if it's going to land you in prison in fucking North Korea.
>>29291212

We let Russia or China install whoever they want. We obviously won't be able to install a pro west government. So let the Chinese and Russian handle that. Pretty sure they've been planning who they want to take over for a while now, in all honesty the best course of action is let them fall to them. A pro west government won't work there and there'd be no point in trying to support one. So fuck it, let them have the impoverished norks.

No that's the meme.
Solar power is simply incapable of providing all of the Western world's power needs on its own. Combined with other methods it is a perfectly viable source of electricity though.
Especially when you consider that there are areas where it'd be difficult to string power lines out to. And if the price of gas should shoot back up again, it'd be an even better choice over running a generator all the time. Not to mention they make a hell of a lot less noise and smell than one.
>tfw my dream cabin will have solar panels to help meet all my power needs
>>29292235
Whats in it for them? lucrative coal plants? Also anyone either of those governments installs is going to end up being a North Korean anyway,
Unless king Putin outright annexes it which would probably piss off china.
Its more complicated than just a regime change like what we did with the Baathist's.
Also I'm pretty confident that behind the scenes the war was mainly to get a huge amount of control in a part of the world that has the most oil.
>>29291384
>candles

Before electric lighting became common, candles were made in enormous numbers to meet people's lighting needs. It wasn't like they were made on an assembly line, but it wasn't something cottage industry could handle either.

Nuclear power is objectively the best option, economically and environmentally. I don't give a shit if you use a windmill for your 100 acre ranch or a few solar panels. What's absolutely buttfucking retarded is trying to use those outside the middle of fucking nowhere, such as a city or industrial district. Nuclear is THE BEST option.

I've hardly done the math, but if we were to combine wind, solar, and hyrdo power it'd probably fill all our requirements, if not most of them.
And in lieu of going all nuclear (which I agree would be the best option, since current generation reactors are MUCH safer than the existing ones, most of which were built between 30-50 years ago). It would still be better than relying mostly on fossil fuels. Which are finite, cause pollution, and aren't exactly stable in price.

No it's not. For residential use in areas that get a fair amount of sunshine solar is an excellent investment (especially because of dem programs) and even in less sunny areas it can provide a significant dent in your energy bill during the summer.

>I've hardly done the math, but if we were to combine wind, solar, and hyrdo power it'd probably fill all our requirements, if not most of them.
Hydro should not be a part of the equation. It is already tapped out, and it is best used as a grid regulating source, not a baseload source.
Combining wind and solar has practically no benefit over just having a lot of wind.
It is possible to fill our requirements, but why, when far less expensive means exist?

>wind, solar, and hyrdo power
No. Wind and solar don't currently provide baseload energy. Hydro is used almost exclusively to bank energy from other sources. Certain new storage technologies, mostly thermal or compressed air might help wind and solar in that regard.
There are three generating technologies that move us forward best: nuclear, solar power satellites and tidal. Even then, tidal is cyclic, not baseload.

Thorium is also far more efficient, it only takes one tonne of it to produce a GW, whereas it takes several hundred tonnes of fissile uranium to produce the same amount of energy.

I was in high school or college when it happened. I don't remember. The guy is my age, though.
I remember going to Houston and seeing graffiti all over everything and thinking "So this is what they're trying to preven? Oughtta just hang the fuckers, really.".
I remember there being zero sympathy for that fucker. Like, people wanted to fly over there and beat his ass for the Singaporeans. Honestly, we would have a cleaner, more decent, more respectful country if we caned vandals. In stead, we call that shit "art" and celebrate it. If graffiti if done with the consent of the property owner, it's art. If not, it's vandalism. Personally, I'd love a nice mural on my fence. But some shitbag tagging "3RD STREET 4 LYFE, NIGGA!" should have a lit blowtorch shoved up his asshole.

If you're off the grid, in the middle of nowhere, then sure. Knock yourself out. I'd suggest a mill over a running creek, but not everyone can afford that. Just know that photovoltaic cells are not the best way to get solar energy. If you're in the middle of nowhere, then wind, solar, or just burn some fuel. But for conventional grid power, nuclear really can't be beat.
>>29293332
That sounds like it might be a little biased, like they are trying too hard to attract investors.
>>29293332
Isn't there also a fuckton more thorium available for use too?
IIRC the rarity of the two, uranium is similar to platinum in rarity, while thorium's relatively common.

Native Americans didn't have Eurasian style plagues because they didn't have the wide variety of domesticated animals living in close proximity to humans that the Eurasians did. They also never used the wheel for transport or did anything with metallurgy past the odd trinket or ceremonial weapon.
Native Americans were subjugated because they were fucking retards who never managed to get out of the Stone Age and got fucking rolled by tiny little forces of dudes in plate armor.

They had syphilis and probably something like hanta, but that's about it.
Most "plagues" like ebola, Marburg, TB Nipah and whatnot are zoonotic. Which means that they spread from animals to humans. Your hemorrhagic fevers tend to come from bats. So did rabies, probably. Maybe smallpox, but that ship sailed so long ago nobody knows quite where it started. TB came from cattle. What else....... shit. There are so many others I can't remember now. The point is that the diseases that we tend to think of as plagues spread from animals to us. Look at H5N1. Shit went from ducks to pigs to us because Asians apparently live with ducks and pigs.
Native Americans never really had all that many domesticated animals. They had dogs and turkeys and down in South America there were guinea pigs and a couple of camelids. But nothing like what it takes to kick off an influenza epidemic. So, no. They didn't really have the "plagues" shithead was talking about. But it wasn't because they were "smarter than us". It's because they just didn't domesticate any animals. You didn't see them dying of arsenic poisoning because of large scale smelting operations or running fuckers over with oxcarts, either.

I'm sure they had several at different times.
Native American agriculture was heavy on the plant husbandry, light on the animal husbandry. A good zoonotic epidemic needs a reservoir species to get going.
Look at Ebola.
Bats carry Ebola. Bats bite fruit. Fruit falls to ground. Chimps eat fruit. Chimps catch Ebola. Niggers eat Chimps. Niggers catch Ebola. Niggers can't observe simple contact isolation. Niggers spread Ebola to other Niggers.
That's precisely how Ebola works. Amerindians just never had the reservoir species necessary for that. No fruit bats, no herds of grazing animals, no domesticated mammals and birds living in close proximity and large numbers. Ergo, very few plagues.
But saying that's because they're smart is like saying the blind guy next door is smart because he will never die flying a plane.
