That. I feel sorry for the parents and family that they are having to go through this.

Here's the thing, what the hell was he thinking? You just don't do those thing in a country like that. This kind of siht is no joke, you will be put away for a long time. There is no right or wrong, its the law, their law. No trial, nothing, and you are done. We forget that this is not the US or Germany

If you aren't North Korean or wanting to defect to NK, then you're a moron for voluntarily going there in the first place. If you go there, then don't do crap other than exactly what you are allowed to do.

A college kid in NK, yeah, I have no doubt that he tried to screw with or likely steal the poster. In that case, he got himself into this.

I heard that the parents, when asked if they thought the previous POTUS admin had done enough to try to get their kid back said something like "the results speak for themselves". I think this is total BS. Hey, your kid did 2 REALLY stupid things. Now you want the POTUS and country to bail his ass out? Sometimes, you just have to pay the consequences.
