North Korea to try U.S. man for illegal entry

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea said on Monday it will put a 30-year-old U.S. man on trial for illegally entering the country.

The man is likely the U.S. citizen the North has held since January after he supposedly entered the reclusive state from China, South Korean government officials told local media.

The North identified the man as Aijalon Mahli Gomes, adding he was from Boston. His "crime has been confirmed," its official KCNA news agency said without elaborating.

North Korea has used detained American citizens as bargaining chips with the United States and the trial announcement comes as Washington has been putting pressure on Pyongyang to end its year-long boycott of nuclear disarmament-for-aid talks.

Wow what would they do with millions of ‘undocumented’?

[TokuMei]

He’s some crazy black dude. Why not encourage the DPRK’s to keep him?

Have fun up there, bro..!!

What else? They would use them as slave labor. Mining uranium, digging underground bunkers, or construct buildings and monuments. So many things to do.

Hahaha - Seriously. Why can a destitute and flat broke 3rd world trade embargoed country have absolute control over it’s borders, and we can’t?

[GQuagmire]

South Korean news reports have said the border-crosser entered the socialist North because he no longer wanted to live in the capitalist world...


The way things are going, he can come back. We are well on our way to a non capitalist society....

[TigerLikesRooster]

The one thing N. Korea is good at is to ‘keep things out.’

[scoobysnak71]

Shouldn’t have been over there to begin with. Hey, NK, let me know when you find him guilty and execute him. We really don’t want this dumbass back.

Finders keepers....

[TokuMei]

If he speaks a high-level of English they’ll try to use him as some kind of hip-hop instructor for DPRK spies....?

Secondary interview with customs:

“Yo, yo...I here foah crazy chillin’ and hoops wid ma homeez...!!!”

Interesting info. Thanks for digging it up.

If he is Black what made him think he wouldn’t get noticed and caught. The only people that have a chance at infiltrating the border of the NorKs should be South Koreans.

I wouldn’t call this guy a dumbass, just a village idiot.

[alllucky777]

Let them keep him. Can we start shipping others there as well? We can hit up the innercity in my town where all the other blacks and mexicans complain about our Republic and let them taste north koreas “utopian” socialism. Let’s see how much they’ll miss there foodstamps then. Idiots...

The average SouthK wouldn't make it either. Due to the poor nutrition, it would be like Gulliver visiting the Lilliputians.
