Discussion: North Korea Says It Arrested UVA Undergrad For 'Hostile Act'

Discussion for article #244976

My gosh! Maybe it’s not safe to travel as a tourist to the Hermit Kingdom.

This guy must be an idiot.

However, if it is true, the US should grab the entire NK UN mission and arrest them, and then offer to light up NK within 24 hours unless the moron student is not released.

Took a photo of something that was off limits? Sneaked out of the hotel at night?

NK finds American hostages useful, which is reason enough not to go.

I don’t feel sorry for that fool at all. I won’t go as far as saying let him rot there, but he certainly looked for it. It’s North Korea! What was his next destination going to be? Isis held territory in Syria?

Personally, I’ve never considered NK a highly desirable vacation destination.

Look people, if your travel requisites include shitty food, ugly architecture, lousy accommodations and really unfriendly locals, there are plenty of places right here in the USA.

Seriously. And lord knows Harlan County, Kentucky could use the tourist dollars before you mysteriously disappear off the face of the Earth, never to be seen again.

Try the decaf. It’s quite good.
