The punishment is far exceeding of the crime - but this is North Korea.
Folks seem to be making it sound like it sneaked into the country with a bootleg copy of a film and then showed it to a couple of friends.
No, he was marketing the film on the black market and got caught. Things are extreme in Kim’s country - but that is how they deal with it.
Commies in America can’t wait until they can have their own godless, commie country.
And so? The US has inmates incarcerated since Jan 6 with no charges and Australia locks up unvaccinated in concentration camps.
New law: “Elimination of Reactionary Thought and Culture” carries a maximum penalty of death for watching or possessing [forbidden thought]…“Elimination of Reactionary Thought and Culture” — thank goodness Facebook, Twitter, Google, et al are on this for us.Law enforcement is not playing around with the new law, and they are fiercely trying to root out every instance of capitalist culture…But times are tough due to the pandemic, so even the police are struggling to make ends meet. Putting a few bucks in their pocket will make them go away if you get caught watching South Korean media.
Who do they think they are?
The Dementia Joe regime?.
Will they at least let the poor kid play one last game of Red Light Green Light?
You expect to read about it?
We are on this same trajectory with Covid 1984.

You ruin the show be revealing too much.
They released all 9 episodes at the same time, it’s done in such a way that you can’t help but to binge watch it.
But if you know the spoilers, it will ruin it.
Why the dearth of stupid games stupid prizes comments?
I mean come on man...
That plot and premise revealed nothing.
Trust me, I will not be watching the show. Not my cup of tea.
Using ZSU 24/4’s?
Actually, it is a ZSU 23/4 (as in 23mm bore).
(BTW, while landing at a small airport in Uganda, I once had a Tanzanian Army-manned ZU 23/2 fire about 120 rounds at me from a distance of 100 meters. My clearance was sitting on the airport manager's desk. He forgot to tell the gunners that I was OK to land...)
ZU-23/2
OMG!!! My typo? I was off a milometer. 4 years teaching Soviet Offensive Operations 35 yrs ago. Hey I was younger then and I had a better memory. Going on 83 now, but still 19 inside. Too bad, if I lost it totally, I could run for President now at my age still going on 8 cylinders, not 1 and a half, as the Current POTUS.
The reason I got “23” correct is because I can no longer count to “24”! I start needing a nap about “21”, but can manage to get up to “23”, no more.
Thanks for your service!
BTW, how accurate was the scenario in Red Storm Rising? 43 years ago, I was the S-2 of my CH-53D squadron and taught Soviet aircraft identification, etc. (”Stay away from the ZSU-23, guys!), but little in the way of Soviet Offensive Operations. Other than “They’re coming through the Fulda Gap with a gazillion tanks, boys!”
55K tanks through the Fulda, I war gamed it in C&GS, I got from Fulda to Franfurt (FRG) with 80% of my command. I was the Russian Commander, the Ami’s were 3 West Point grads. Ya gotta be careful with those secondary roads, if they are wide enough for a tank. I was the sneaky Pete who flanked their main force which was waiting on the Autobahn. I coulda been a Hero of the Soviet Union. I have 3 nephews who graduated from west Point, I told them they should have gone to OCS like I did, if I could out flank them as a Signal Officer. BTW, I turned a war movie off last night that I was watching on You tube. It was called battle of the bulge. It wasn’t the Henry Fonda one, it was a newer one. When the jeep pulled off the road and the RO went to call the BN, he was cranking a EE-8 on the back of the jeep. That was enough for me to turn it off. He couldn’t raise anyone? Duuuuuh!! He had an RL 29 in the back. How does a EE-8 without another EE-8 and a Switchboard work with no wire contact? It was a EE-8 Radio? The old EE-8 was still around in the early 60’s but was replaced with a better model, the TA 312, but you still needed a wire for it to call Bn. LOL!!!. Hollywood, ya gotta love it.
Yea, I remember the EE-8. I humped a PRC-25 as the Duty Sniper-Check. Funny how in a firefight, no one wants to get near you!
“Was it something I said?”
“Has my underarm deodorant failed me?”
After you managed to get 80% of your command to Frankfort, did the Ami ‘commanders’ buy you a cold one at the O-Club?
:-)
IIRC, inflexibility was one of the criticisms of both the German and Soviet armies. That and the unacceptability of mid and lower level leaders making ad hoc decisions in the fog of war.
Nice job in your war game!
