North Korea gives Korean-American 10 years' hard labour: Xinhua

Very sad. However, the US could learn a lesson from NK. Take DeMarquise Elkins for example. He shot a baby in the face while he was robbing the baby's mother. Instead of spending his prison time watching movies, attending classes and playing basketball, maybe he should be doing hard labor. If he did, the next DeMarquise might think twice before shooting a baby in the face. From what I understand, numerous decades of hard labor for very low pay is not something that would appeal to a DeMarquise.[CN]

悲哀啊，但美国可以从朝鲜学点教训。举个例子：DeMarquise Elkins。抢劫一位母亲时，一枪打在母亲的孩子脸上。与其让他狱期看电影、上课、打篮球，不如让他做劳教。这样判的话，下个DeMarquise开枪打小孩的脸前就会三思而行了。在我看来，几十年的低报酬劳教生涯对DeMarquise这种人来说可不是什么好事。

He never should have gone to that extortionist state-no matter the purpose.[CN]

不管出于何种目的，他都不该去这种流氓国度啊。

As this is what they do to "earn" (or extort) hard currency as the nation produces little of anything..[CN]

这国家生产东西少的可怜，这就是他们赚得（或说勒索）硬通货的手段了。

So that their politically connected cronies can continue to live like the elites in the old USSR did. They shop in exclusive stores stocked with S.Korean, Chinese, US, Japanese and EU products while the rank and file citizenry is left to fend for themselves in the cold East Asian wind with nothing but lies and propaganda from the regime..To keep them in the dark while the autocrat continues to run that place as if a family business.[CN]

如此一来，他们的政治裙带才可以继续像前苏联精英那样生活。他们肆意从专卖店买来韩国，中国，日本，欧洲产品。老百姓却在这种虚假政治宣传下，无衣遮身，独自抵抗东亚之寒风。人们活在黑暗中，独裁者却在经营自己的家族企业。

Send the 7th fleet with some fully loaded water cans for backup, blockade the left flank, and beef up the northern Frontier, and simultaneously, load up the artillery on the DMZ.[CN]

派出第7舰队，满载水罐作为支援，封锁侧翼，加强北边防线，同时在非军事地区架好炮台。

Then launch a phone call directly into NK HQ and threatened the man-gods with a boycott on beer and tobacco.[CN]

然后给朝鲜总部打电话，威胁这些神人将经济抵制他们的啤酒和香烟。

Anything but a spontaneous release must be seen as rebuke, and cause to paint the airports with bubble gum and peanut brittle.[CN]

只有自发释放（人质），才不会受到谴责。送人质回来时要风风光光的送行。

Why does ANYBODY go that that country? US citizens need to be banned from going there just like what used to be done for Cuba.[CN]

为什么会有人想去那个国家呢？美国人民须禁止去那里，正如过去禁止去古巴一样。

Would you go into a snake pit without expecting to get bitten? Idiot[CN]

进了蛇窝，焉能不被咬？傻逼。

Who is really stupid enough to visit N. Korea?[CN]

谁那么笨，要去朝鲜旅游？

Dennis Rodman must be quite proud of this Sub Human piece of offal . A pen knife to slice Kim's carotid arteries would save millions who suffer under this waddling duck's regime.[CN]

丹尼斯·罗德曼对这种非人类的垃圾很是自豪。小刀往金东哲的颈动脉一送就可以拯救千千万万在这“丑小鸭”（指金正恩）统治之下的人们。

If the NK allegation of espionage is true, the US government must do its best to bring him home. Otherwise, this case is another good lesson for all Americans who want to travel to NK --- do it at your own risk and don't expect the US taxpayers to spend money to bail you out due to your own stupidity.[CN]

如果朝鲜判决的间谍罪属实，美国政府会倾尽全力救回金东哲的。不然这是就给想去朝鲜旅游的美国人敲一个警钟：自己选择自己负责，别奢望纳税人会花钱保释你，毕竟是自己做的蠢事。

I wouldn't do a thing for him. After all these years of similar stories coming out of North Korea, I have no patience nor sympathy for people who voluntarily enter North Korea and try their luck doing forbidden things.[CN]

我不会为他操心的。这些年朝鲜常有类似的消息传出，对这些自愿进入朝鲜领土，试做一些被禁事的人骂我没有耐性，也不同情。

I'm fine with the sentence. If people want to visit North Korea, let them. If they get arrested and sentenced to whatever, that's their problem. I still get a laugh watching the college kid crying like a sissy a few months ago while being sentenced. He is probably in a cell with a 300 pound man named Leroy, lol.[CN]

对这判决我没什么异议。人们想去朝鲜，就让他们去吧。如果被捕判刑了，是他们的问题。看到大学娃被判刑前一个月像娘们一样哭哭啼啼，我会一笑置之。可能跟重300英镑叫做Leroy的男人同一间牢房。：-）

Does N Korea think nuclear weapons are new and unknown other places? We really need to find out how they make them![CN]

朝鲜人认为核武器是新玩意，其他地方对此一无所知吗？我需要查出他们是怎样制造的。

It's foolish to go there for any reason.[CN]

不管何种缘由，去那里都是愚蠢的。

Here's a Tip: If you're an American, or have American ties, don't go to North Korea.[CN]

给个小提示：如果你是美国人，或者有美国血统，别去朝鲜。

You could expand that to simply "Don't go to North Korea"....for any reason.[CN]

你可以简单理解为“别去朝鲜”，不要问理由。

and pansy Liberals in the USA think waterboarding is torture? Geesh !!![CN]

看了这美国同性恋者还认为水刑是一种折磨？去~

RESCUE HIM![CN]

解救金东哲！

Sucks for him, but I couldn't care less.[CN]

他太菜了，但就是不禁去关注。

China just might be the most terrible place on Earth... A massive control machine that shouldn't exist in the modern world.... They hand out pain and suffering like it was candy... Someday I hope that terrible place falls to the ground and the people in it do away with their false God... Kimberly is a demon....[CN]

中国可能是地球上最恐怖的地方了...是不该出现在现代社会的强大控制机器...他们想派发糖果一样输出痛苦和苦难。希望有一天这恐怖的地方崩溃瓦解，它的人们脱离伪神控制...金伯利可是恶魔啊...

Why o people travel there? I'm thinking he'll be paying a high price for his bad choices.[CN]

为什么有人想去那里旅行呢？我认为他会为自己的愚蠢选择付出巨大代价的。

So, here's an idea, if you don't want to get arrested and put into a North Korean prison don't go to North Korea and do stupid things. Better yet, just don't go to North Korea![CN]

有个想法，如果你不想被捕，被投入朝鲜监狱，不要去朝鲜做一些蠢事，可以的话，别去朝鲜！

The US State Department "strongly recommends against all travel" to North Korea and specifically warns of the risk of arrest...... Ahh, duh ![CN]

美国国务院强烈建议反对所有去朝鲜之旅，特别警告被逮捕入狱风险...啊呸...
