I think the situation is funny no matter whosee fault it is.

I don't think he actually deserved it I just find a little bit of solace in the idea that someone who clearly was under the impression they were untouchable due to their position and status in life got a rude unawakening.

Plenty of poor people in lovely areas get constantly railroaded by the terrible US criminal justice system while others get to run people over with cars and have fingers wagged at them.

Think of it this way, in the US when some well off and well connected rear end in a top hat gets a slap on the wrist for drug charges or some intoxicated mischief do you celebrate that the justice system is finally turning around and accepting that maybe ruining someone's life over that kind of thing is overkill and it's better to focus on the possibility that they might have a bright future or do you accept that their particular lack of sentence was available only to a certain class of citizen and we're still gonna gently caress everyone else over? This case is like the opposite of that, I don't agree with the laws or the punishment but I do have some satisfaction that they still applied to him.

Hell if the US started applying it's laws as evenly so they affected these kinds of people we'd probably start actually getting some traction in having them changed, no one cares otherwise.

But this isn't funny.

I'm pretty sure this guy is just faking it for the attention. This whole story seems kind of fishy. I mean I haven't seen any proof that north Korea is real anyway.

He is just very tired

I think he has life figured out. Pretend to be in a fake country for a year then just take a really long nap, and the best part is he's getting famous for it. I really need to get on his level.

Call me crazy but I think it's a good idea to just not go to North Korea.

Life has improved immeasurably since I refused going to any place with "North" in its name.

I sure hope somebody goes through the several-thousand-page trump thread and reports every instance of tweet-posting.
