You go to arguably the most "dangerous" place in the world, as an american.

Then you do something that could be considered treacherous by an insane regime.

What else do you expect?

Not saying its right, it freaking sucks and I hope he gets better/recovers (if possible), but this isn't like walking down your street and getting randomly shot.

This is as minor as walking into an opposing gang's neighborhood, then knocking over the mailbox. It gives them ANY reason to get you.

Is there any proof he actually did anything beyond NK's version? I hardly consider them a credible source.

Important question: Did his poster make it home?

No. They caught him attempting to take it. Punishable by coma.

Any possibility that he may have attempted suicide after being sentenced and ended up brain dead. He was worth more to the little fat man alive and well than dead.

We don't even know if Otto really did this. They may have just targeted him and trumped up the charge.

Well, we do know his dumb arse when to North Korea voluntarily. That was stupid. If I decide to take a sight seeing trip to Mosul to interview ISIS members, then I should probably expect to not return. That's essentially what this guy did. While I wish he wouldn't have died, it doesn't surprise me.

I have strong doubts that this kid took that poster. They need no reason to detain you.
