So, on one hand I understand that people visiting foreign countries are expected to follow the laws of that country. Plenty of tourists have been severely punished (or worse, executed) in places like Singapore and Indonesia for drug offences. Of all places you'd expect punishment for vandalism, NK certainly seems the most likely place.
I think the real concern is the disproportionate response to the crime. Which, may in part be; 1. both a deterrent for others, 2. a show of force against the US, 3. something which forces the US to reduce some of its embargos.
So, pity the fool and hope that something diplomatic can be done.
