Those who fail to comply are taken away and never heard from again.
December 17 of this year marked the ten-year anniversary of the death of Kim Jong-il, father and predecessor of North Korea's current leader, Kim Jong-un. To honor the erstwhile psychopathic leader, the nation will observe eleven days of mourning, during which citizens will not be allowed to engage in leisure activities, drink alcohol, or even laugh, a resident from the border city of Sinuiju told Radio Free Asia. Citizens of the Hermit Kingdom were not even allowed to go grocery shopping on December 17, not that there is much produce to purchase. Nor will they be able to conduct funeral services or celebrate their own birthdays during the 11-day official mourning period.
According to Fox News, the unnamed citizen also noted what happens to those who fail to comply with the orders: "In the past many people who were caught drinking or being intoxicated during the mourning period were arrested and treated as ideological criminals. They were taken away and never seen again."
The New York Post reported that North Koreans fell silent and bowed in respect for Kim Jong-il as a midday siren blared for three minutes. Cars, trains, and ships blew their horns as the nation's flags were lowered to half-staff.
That North Koreans would appear to mourn a sadistic despot like Kim Jong-il, or worship his equally vicious son, the current Dear Leader, Kim Jong-un, tells us that either they are terrified of revealing their true feelings toward these monsters or they have been effectively brainwashed by their government-media-academia complex.

The leftist politicians here must be GREEN with envy.
The McCain of Norks.
Koreans are an angry people. Even the Sorks. Ask Rodney King’s enablers.
Koreans are tough and don’t mind kicking ass when needed. If we had to grow up in Korea and live through their winters, we’d be tough too.
This is the what all leftists demand. They demand complete control over everything.
My current boss is Korean. Nice guy, but you can tell he’s tougher than nails.
Wow, I can absolutely see why the Marxists like Sanders, AOC would prefer that kind of government rather than living in the racist, white supremacist United states
The South Koreans are some of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet. Good on them for shooting looters.
Fun fact. Norks are a full 4” shorter than Sorks on average. The effects of communism are stark. Most South Koreans don’t want anything to do with the Norks. They’re sympathetic but they hate the chicoms.
Mybkids are half Korean and my wife is full...
My father in law, without me knowing, took me to an American miltary cemetary and said “we will never forget what your country did for us”.
I couldn’t hold back my tears.
They are scary good drinkers.
The United States really should have a representative at this solemn event. Send Kamala Harris.
So we can’t laugh now that he is Kim Jung Dead?
Would Kim Jong-Il still be with us if he was Kim Jong-Healthy ?
Don't cry for me Argentina...
This is the type of totalitarianism that the woke left here desperately wants.
Let’s Go Brandon...cracks me up.
