It is doubtful this boy actually even performed the act of vandalism.  The Chinese tour company appears to be a shell company used to lure Americans to N Korea so that fabricated charges can enable the N Koreans a steady stream of "hostages." They promise a safe and guided tour, so when did this young man even have opportunity to steal some stupid banner.  We know from escapees that this psychopathic Fat Boy despot terrorizes everyone in the country including his top military.  World pressure should be put constantly and vocally onto China to reign in this crazy destabilizing nut.
