Why would you do something stupid like this? This is dumber than the people who go to North Korea.
Disagree. Even thinking about going to North Korea is inherently a dumber idea than this.
I mean, there are tourists who go to North Korea who don't get harmed by them. It's like a 95% chance you'll get fucked but there's the 5% chance you'll survive. Meanwhile, these guys had to be INTENTIONALLY trying to fuck with the government. It's like pulling a gun on a police officer. There was no other result other than them getting fucked, it was an 100% chance.
That's a stretch of a comparison.
Either way, it's a lot dumber than simply going to countries like North Korea or Syria. There, while you're taking a massive risk by going to war torn/dictator countries at least you're not actually intentionally trying to break a law while here, these idiots were intentionally violating a law in a strict country for literally no reason. How is that not like pulling a gun on an officer?
Is there a source for whether or not they understood those laws and intentionally broke them? ---
