Yeah, those excuses don't work in North Korea. Welcome to reality, kid. I wonder if he was crying when he stole the poster.



If you go in to North Korea and steal which then lands you in jail, YES, you deserve it.
Agreed.

But I suspect he's innocent and was tortured into confessing to something he didn't do.

That's the way it works in North Korea -- and pretty much everywhere else in the turd world.

No matter though.

The dummy shouldn't have been there in the first place.

What the HELL was he thinking???

Maybe his Commie college professors at the University of Virginia (think of the recent fake fraternity "gang rape" case that the university and "Rolling Stone" took "seriously") and hippie parents were "thinking" FOR him.

Yeah, that's probably it.

Poor sap!

Hey, kiddies!

Don't go to North Korea.

What the hell is there anyway?

Go drink beer in Prague.

You'd be better off starring in the next "Hostel" movie than rubbing elbows with Kim Dong Dumb!

By 21 years of age, you know better than to steal things.
Exactly. I traveled quite a bit at that age, even off the beaten path. It's just common sense to obey a foreign country's laws while you're there. Frankly, I'm surprised by the people in this thread who are so willing to infantilize a 21 year-old.

Feel free to tour the border region of Iran and Afghanistan and let us know how it goes or China and North Korea.

Warmbier is an idiot.

There was a guy in my area from Miamisburg Ohio that was held in N. Korea for leaving a bible in a night club restroom and it was a big news story here, this kid was from Wyoming Ohio about 25 miles away so he should have known better.
Would you like to go have a cup of "hot snow?" Thanks for sharing this.......now the young man will be told he is lucky to be out of America, because it doesn't have enough birds to eat! Must be what entering hell would be like.

Any American who goes to that country voluntarily is an idiot.


Reps. I agree with everything in this post.

Calling a demonstrably and obviously foolish act foolish is a sign of low character to you?

when you were a kid- did your parents not teach you not to touch anything when visiting another house? Arrogant American is how he is viewed-- by them.

Look...

If you insist on defending stupidity as if it's a virtue, then go for it. I doubt that you'll get overwhelming support, though.

But adults making poor decisions that even a child would reject can certainly serve as examples for the rational among us to point out as silly and self-inflicted.

Carry on.
