Stay out of ghettos.

Don't do things to attract bears.

Don't climb in a windstorm.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It isn't smart to do stupid things.

People take chances and sometimes have bad luck. That's part of living life. Taking pleasure in others misfortune... using it to denigrate them, and prop yourself up by constrast as many in this thread have done... these are signs of low character.

This is very sad for that young man. He does 15 years of hard labor which is literally a death sentence in North Korea for taking a banner. Meanwhile child molesters walk in this country (priests).

So, what the heck was this kid doing in NK, to start with?
And who was this church group that encouraged him to acquire the "Trophy" ?

Exactly. That was never part of his original narrative or original plea to the DPRK.
