    Not much of a story, but SK fired just under 100 rounds of machine gun fire into NK after they detected a drone or similar object in the DMZ.

    And not a single political consequence happened. If anything, they received support as part of a deal to release him asap.

    The dude thought it would be a good idea to go to a country that has a known reputation for human rights violations and detaining foreigners on anything they can in order to extort the detainee's home nation. Then decided it would be cool to try and steal stuff in said nation. I'm feeling hard pressed to feel sympathy for him when it was entirely brought on himself through his own actions.

    Don't even get me started on his dad blaming The Obama Administration for not fighting hard enough to get him back.

    Punishment certainly does NOT fit the crime but he should have known better than to go off to North Fucking Korea to go test boundaries.

    He did it because of the obscene human rights violations nk is notorious for. He was doing what little he could to bring back evidence of the harm they do, and paid a heavy price for it.

    What you're saying is not dissimilar to whites getting punished for helping saves escape to the north. They knew the risks and did it anyways, fuck them right?

    My b, forgot people acting on behalf of human rights hold the country in question in higher regard than the rights of the humans they're oppressing.
