Ping!

[mylife]

North Korea has resumed frequent public executions, among them a factory chief accused of making international phone calls who was shot at a stadium before thousands of spectators

That's a lousy long distance plan.

[Vaquero]

Public Executions???

So they got one thing right...big deal.

[P8riot]

Any last words, .... Chad?

Only in a socialist superstate would making a phonecall be a capital crime.

"North Korea has resumed frequent public executions, among them a factory chief accused of making international phone calls who was shot at a stadium before thousands of spectators,..."

"Can you hear me now?"

I Kalifornia, I understand they stuff people in a wood chipper for peddling food containing transfat, smoking in public, and burning wood in a fireplace.....

You laugh now....

[AmericanInTokyo]

But of course.

They know the heat is off of them from the International Community.

Most of all from the "Big Kahuna".

A few extra thousand execution deaths will not be brought up if it jeopardizes the US-North Korea Peace Treaty.

The one I heard about recently, in Pyongan Nando Do, the executed was shot a total of 90 times.

“Kurisu Jon Hiru” san knows it quite well.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Yep. That is right.

Communism at work.

“The report came a week after a U.N. General Assembly committee adopted a draft resolution expressing “very serious concern” at reports of widespread human rights violations in North Korea, including public executions.

The resolution, co-sponsored by more than 50 countries including the United States and many other Western nations, was sent to the 192-member General Assembly for a final vote”

Yeah? And.........???

**crickets**

[Bulldawg Fan]

Sounds like Islam thought is taking hold in North Korea.

[Joe Boucher]

We should execute publicly here.
Great deterant.

[Thermalseeker]

We should execute publicly here.

I made that exact comment to a very Liberal neighbor of mine just a week or so ago. His response? "I suppose you want to return to the Wild West days?"

I said, "Yes! Violent crime per capita was much lower then than now! He sat there in stunned silence unable to argue his misguided point any farther....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Yup. Seems the SK’s have taken human rights in NK off the table, too.

[Tamar1973]

Yoboseyo????.....gun shot.....*click*.....dial tone....

What a stupid thing to be executed for!

Their local customs are drastically different, to say the least.

The only country in the world which can make Muslim fundamentalist regime look good in comparison.
