Red terror ping!

Those North Koreans have all the fun, but wait, our time is coming.

Under the Communist-Democrat rule in America we'll be seeing much of the same as the 'middle-class' attempts a revolution.

[Loud Mime]

It has emerged?

Wun Hwang Lo?

[Joe Boucher]

Internal strife within the communist paradise?
Hard to believe.

[CondorFlight]

This was on the China border. Maybe the real story is that someone was trying to escape?

[nuconvert]

Wow.

[Joe Boucher]

Escape from the workers paradise?
Oh yeah, folks like to eat.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

This phrase is typical of UK newspapers. “Emerged” is used when they can’t attribute.

[Dumpster Baby]

Someone must have dropped a fried chicken foot in the aisle. Dogpile!!

[Seven plus One]

Strange story. A riot involving a couple of preferred, armed groups, with the public caught in the middle. Maybe not so strange after all, when control starts to break down.

[Jet Jaguar]

BTTT

What is this

Great Train Robbery North Korea style

[flitton]

Interesting. I hope it’s a sign that the end is in sight.

[Thud]

It’s about sharing.

This what happens when people are forced to compete for rapidly dwindling resources. In N. Korea, things had gotten so bad that riding a train is a perk of sorts. Train comes few and far between.

Train security mistook a member of the privileged group(military and their dependents) with an ordinary peon, ending up killing her by kicking her off the train and under the wheel of the train. Enraged privileged member(military officer and victim's husband) took on another privileged member(train security,) beating him to death.

Then it degenerated into full-fledged firefight between train security and military at the scene.

All for the lousy train ride. This is the sad situation wrought by Kim Jong-il, all for preserving his hold on power, while suffering from all kinds of disease from too much booze and unhealthy diet.

Literally, the people are dying of hunger and wretched living condition, while the ruler is dying from obesity, having too much food and drink.
