spy gets 10 years. poster thief gets 15 years. wut.
Bubbles Lmao.
The person I sent to activate a nuke in Pyongyang - 8 years
Bruh
It’s like 20 years for weed
And the guy who enter illegally, why someone would go in a shithole with so much efforts?
15 years for stealing a poster, and 10 years for espionage. Try to figure that one out.
Edward M. Easy, one was American and the other was not. The US is only villainized over there in North Korea
In America someone got life sentence for breaking a car window. Let that sink in for a moment.
white = severe punishment
BrysontheGhost Gaming What?
Ryfus Fox Both were American.
You can tell that Otto didn’t write that speech he gave. A native English speaker wouldn’t say “the u.s. administration”
And he didn’t mean anything he said in the speech either
@Dozer Mramur and you assume that because he stole a poster?
@@emuzoo0913 hes joking

As Americans don't speak English who can tell?
That's not a country, this is a big prison

Do not goto North Korea for tourist purposes. You're welcome.

exactly.
Excellent safety tip!
so its ok to go then?
it's totally fine to go to NK, as nearly 1,000 *American* tourists do *every* year, JUST DON'T STEAL GOV'T PROPERTY!!

goes to North Korea steals 1 grams of dirt. gets caught 10 years of labor camp.
wasnt meant to be funny
LOOOOL😂😂😂😂
"1 grams of dirt"
#Mehow ju
:D lol
What I truly don't understand is why people are stupid enough to go there in the first place.
joe woodchuck I think it’s the opposite tbh, we barely know anything about North Korea so it’s understandable as to why people let there curiosity get the best of them and honestly if i had the chance to go there i would
Exactly is just stupid
It’s relatively safe for tourists as long as you stay out of trouble and don’t say anything bad about the leaders
I was 🤔 the same, why?!

I think they have clearly shown what they do to visitors. Not a country I would EVER want to step foot in. I like my human rights, and my life!
Honestly
i would go there only to nuclear bomb it
Hey babygirl nice to see you in my swamp, what brings you to my comment section?

His "Coma" was actually him after he was in reality; TORTURED.

The fact that people are trying to blame America in the comments blows my mind.
Illusionary wall ahead Yeah. It blows my mind too.
Illusionary wall ahead why is north korea not yet blown away
American citizens keep visiting NK after all of this happen so you can't blame them for being angry about that, btw they got themself into trouble the first time they think of visiting NK considering how bad relationship between America and NK are, and that is what I call Ignorant.
Oviie Mbem uh... yeah Otto took a faulty risk. he was ignorant of the danger, foolish indeed. But what does this ha e to do with national matters? the US advised against such travels during that time even before making it a forbidden act. So I'm not really sure how your point adds up.
John Davis Then let me be clear. Those USA citizens visit NK for various reasons even though you know (NK seem like to hate USA and now Trump want to eliminate *rocket man (Kim)* ). Since 2 country have bad relationship so of course NK won't let the chance to torture America citizen to waste, those America citizens are the one who visit NK anyway so America can only follow the demand from NK to get their citizens back.
What do you think a way to prevent this from happening? don't let USA citizens visit NK (atleast at the moment of heat like this), this why I call those people ignorant because they got themself into trouble.
Edit : I just want to share my opinion about this matter, no more no less.
Don't let anyone tell you anything else: They murdered that boy.
sorry, has been awhile...hehheh
Who cares? He was trying to play An American Hero Drama to steal that poster and bring to America. And then go viral all media as a hero. NK rewards bigoted behaviour to make you cry like a baby infront of cameras.... love that
@@blueicemax2268 stfu bot
"Boy"?? Don't think so. He knew how crazy it is in NK but still chose to take the poster. WTF!!!
@@blueicemax2268 He did not steal the poster. The story that North Korea tells is very inconsistent with what US institutions are saying. North Korean Soldier Defectors have a common consensus that he was framed. Saying that someone deserves to be tortured and killed is extremely ignorant. Sure he may be a bigot, but you are ignorant and very inconsiderate.
I’m amazed that Americans still visit North Korea. You’re playing Russian roulette.

Turning from the battle field at war is "dead" in world war. You just want to follow ur free will but the commander want u to die to not follow the rule. Yes.. they're still at war. I believe theres a written rules there to follow, all u need is follow it like everyone does, then u'r good. Most of clueless person on earth are fooled by the goverments media, so theres no different with the rest of clueless people on earth. The different is NK don't have resources to get more gorgeous like 1st world expected to be, that make them look pathetic, but still better than most country in africa.
Racism
I have never met Otto or knew anything about him personally, yet I could read right through his confession and knew he was coerced into the confession. For one thing, Americans would never say they were lured by the US administration. That’s totally something that an enemy country would say. The only thing that didn’t look forced would be Otto’s fear and tears. Also, the government could care less about a poster in North Korea. Otto was totally set up and framed by North Korea. He wasn’t even in the hotel when the person took it.
Really though? Do you think the U.S. government doesn't contact people to go to their dirty work for them?

As a Korean-Canadian, I was always told as a child that North Korea isn't safe, and my parents even went as far to tell me that if I ever go to North Korea, I can't ever go out. I think this was their way of scaring me to even try to visit and it worked. Even if I had a chance to, I would absolutely not take it. Why risk it... curiosity can only get you so far. Please, don't go to North Korea.
Exactly why take the chance....u can be taken to prison or killed at any point in time for whatever reason they wish to come up with. There are many countries in the world I'd love to visit but I'll take a hard pass on north Korea
For British nationals visiting the USA without a visa but with ESTA, don’t go to North Korea, but if you visit North Korea as British citizen and plan to visit the USA, you’re no longer eligible for visa free ESTA required to travel to the USA but you should apply for US Visa.
If you’re citizen from Malaysia, USA and South Korea, you can’t visit North Korea. and BTW, If South Korean visited Iran and plan to visit the USA after visiting Iran, US Visa is required as you’re no longer eligible for visa free visit to the US under ESTA requirement.
i feel bad for the citizens living in that scary country. i hope that tyranny will end and they finally get a kind leader

It's fascinating how Kim Jong Un manages to maintain his dictatorship without igniting a revolution
Every city is isolated from others, so if a revolution happens in one city the other will never know
@@musiclocate9357 and also a lot of people in NK are brainwashed at a young age into thinking he's a great leader.

People who go to north korea know what they are risking. It's like walking into a hungry lion's cage. You only have yourself to blame at the point of opening the door and putting yourself in that position.
Well North Koreans are also to blame because if someone walked into your country and did nothing wrong would you arrest then and keep them captive for years? Something needs to be done
Errrrr ....... They are considered a rogue nation and free hostages = more leverage.

NK has good relations with a few other countries. Maybe a cuban or venezuelan high ranking military officer invited by the north koreans to the ceremony.
US State Department travel warning doesn't seem to be taken seriously at all by most Americans. It's quite a sad scenario. 🤢🤢

Understand them. I hate warm beer too!
Goes to North Korea steals a flower
Day later : arrested for 15 years
2:57 Kim-jung-un Was looking at the camera
Let me get it right. America is technically still at war with NK and yet they allow Americans to visit.
Of the hundreds of them that visit annually, only a handful are arrested? For spying, stealing , entering illegally .
Isn't that what America would do to visitors of their country too?
If the punishment is harsh for similar crimes, then it is really an issue of judiciary judgment or punishment matters.
Just because it's lax for similar crimes in your country doesn't mean it has to be the same for others. Example, for drug related crimes some countries issue death sentences so are these countries like NK too. No one put a gun to their heads to visit .
Peaceforallman kind they are entering legally though there’s a program and you have to follow a tour
2:22 best actor ever
Who would be dumb enough to go there?
