American Tourist sentenced to 15 years..

This has been all over the news here since it happened being as it's a local thing. This kid was an idiot. The sentence is harsh, but I have no trouble believing this kid tried to steal some bit of propaganda as a souvenir to take home. It's stupid to do something like this in any country, but a country with a dictator at the helm, that brainwashes its citizens into thinking the dictator is god-like, and we have no formal diplomatic ties to?

Moron.
