It's about time we spread freedom and democracy to the North Korean leadership, Kim would be wise to look over the past fifteen years of dictators and contemplate his fate. As for the kid
He willingly choose to visits North korea. It is a sovereign nation with its own laws which he choose to break. If it was a UK citizen I would have the exact same views. In fact the U.S. has executed a few Brits and I really haven't cared so long as they were arrested within US borders. Think the are a few Brits abroad in places like Thailand or Indonesia servng life or who have been executed for minor drug crimes which again I don't care about. It's the risk one takes when you travel abroad.

I have zero empathy for the man. He isn't a kid.

Right, what you have stated is fair,
Unless the one going is not fully educated about the risks.

At 21 it is there responsibility to read up and research were they are going.
Should the U.S. goverment wipe your arse for you too?
Plus last time I checked stealing was illegal EVERYWHERE. So pretty much a no brainier.

Take a look at the post by Blaine in the previous page regarding legal vs mental age.
Unless the one going is not fully educated about the risks.

I really don't think visiting North Korea is all that dangerous within itself... I personally have several family members who've traveled there.
But having said that, to go there and do something stupid, really is a bit like poking an angry bear with a pointy stick, lol... got to wonder what was going though this kids head, to be so careless?

No, THE kicker is NORTH Korean tourism being an assinine idea for millennials.
Or ANYONE from the US in GENERAL.
