I totally forgot about this douch... Small fish in an ocean of bullshit over the last couple years.

Speaking to reporters before the hearing, Somali said he was remorseful and wanted to apologize to the people of Korea.

I don't believe this for a second; he's only sorry he didn't make it past the border guards before they filed the charges.

They sentenced him to 3 years in prison and 20 days of detention. They( Korean law) seem pretty reasonable.
