It's just a prank bro.

[Hawker]

Idiot.

Going to N. Korea is generally safe from what I've read but you just can't **** around when you there. It's not emphasized enough by the tour companies. Do as your told and shut the **** up.

[UK2K]

No sympathy.

Should have never been there. Have fun.

[NumberSix]

A mess.

Why the **** would you want to go to North Korea anyway? There is a big world to choose from and you pick North Korea?

[senelcoolidge]

Follow the rules. Don't break the law. Same here in the U.S...if you don't break the rules (unless your Hillary Clinton) than you don't have to worry.

[LJJ]

The only reason to go is for bragging rights and attention.

[iamgine]

I find this situation hilarious.

21? He looks like 35 :biggums:

[dazzer87]

Who the hell goes to N Korea and decide to commit a crime. Stupid

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Totalitarian country propping up a mortal far above what's necessary.

Irregardless, never steal another's property unjustly.

Ever.

[sd3035]

Although 15 years is obviously excessive for such a crime, people shouldn't do retarded things in unfamiliar countries

[bigkingsfan]

He was told to cry like a bitch. :cry:

[Draz]

So we not gonna do anything?

[Nick Young]

This is what happens to our citizens on foreign soil when our president shows he is willing to negotiate with terrorists and pay ransom fees. North Korea imprisoned this boy and are hoping to receive a big ransom fee from the US government.

[iamgine]

So we not gonna do anything?
I'm happy with the situation as it is tbh. :lol

[Draz]

He's still a kid. Plenty of mistakes I made at 21 that I wouldn't turning 24. His decision was terrible, but life is about taking risks regardless of the reward at certain ages to live and experience. As long as there wasn't any true harm to another being, and while he knew the only one getting harmed would of been him, he didn't expect the kind of backlash he's facing now.

That'll be inhumane to keep him that long behind bars.

[iamgine]

thats obvious.

but who cares.

[Draz]

thats obvious.

but who cares.
Open your heart. Not just because of the decision he made, but because that country is absolutely terrible. Just a few days ago, he executed one of his top people for slouching during his speech by gunfire, the man was around 70.

It goes far beyond our reach, but that place will be the reason why we enter war one day.

[iamgine]

I'm actually happy for the situation with this guy. I'm like, "good job NK government".

[Draz]

I feel like they tested us with that move. They want us to demand him back.

[ArbitraryWater]

thats obvious.

but who cares.

people who care for your fellow human beings that are treated wrongly? Dafuq? Guys like you make ISH kinda tough these days.. just trolls

[iamgine]

You guys actually sympathize with him? I dunno man. He could get the death sentence and I'd have said "oh well."

A lot of people mature through experience and support not by age. I didn't think myself I'd care the first time hearing this story. You'll understand when you hit a certain age you yourself made mistakes and subconsciously expect forgiveness. Things happen.

There's no excuse for that kind of stupidity.

You don't just book a vacation to North Korea on a whim. Do you think nobody mentioned it was a terrible place and that they don't tolerate... well... anything?

Look at it this way, he's lucky he's an American or they'd have just killed him.

:lol

You people suck

[Draz]

I'm not saying you aren't mature. I'm saying, people do the dumbest things man. At all ages
