The American who tore up his own tourist visa on landing in North Korea and demanded to be arrested so that he could experience prison life in the communist nation has been sentenced to six years hard labor for entering the country illegally to commit espionage.

Matthew Miller, 24, of Bakersfield, California, looked thin and pale at his trial in Pyongyang on Sunday, as he was handed out his sentence.

Miller, who looked thin and pale at the trial and was dressed completely in black, is one of three Americans now being held in North Korea.

Bawhahahahahah .... serves him right. He’ll get the experience first hand and write a book after. If he survives. Of course here will come Amnesty International to plead his case. NK? Hey, sorry ‘bout that ....

...looked thin and pale at the trial...
+++++++
After six months of his ‘experiencing human rights abuses’, thin and pale will look like the picture of health.

Wow not surprising that he is from California, the land of fruits and nuts. He is from Bakersfield. I thought Bakersfield was conservative. I was hoping perhaps Berserkly or San Fransicko which could explain his thinking.

The gene pool just got a few millimeters deeper — until this moron gets out — if he does!

Miller looked thin and pale.

If he did this as a result of a spiritual inspiration to go be with those who are suffering and bring attention to their plight, then God Bless him.

On the other hand, if he did it because he is a self-hating, middle-class white male, brain-dead liberal product of the feminist American public school system, then God help him.

Why is this news? For the past six years, all good Americans have been sentenced to six years hard labor in a communist country.

Any American who travels to a Communist/Muslim country, deserve what they get coming to them.

Unfortunately, fools who harm themselves have no one to blame for their plight but themselves.

You can’t fix human stupidity.

Bakersfield is conservative.

He, however, is just plain nuts.

If he did/said that...the only conclusion I can come to is he failed to pack his brain when he left for his vaycay.

I’m reminded of the Black panther in the 60’s-70’s who went to live under communism. He was wanted for killing a police officer (PIG) and he volunteered to come back to USA prison because he found out that better to be in prison in US than live under communism.

Profound I say, this guy will learn but the hard way.
