North Korea executes official by mortar shell blast

North Korea executes official by mortar shell blast. Yep, it’s certainly sounds like utopia: “A North Korean military officer has been executed with a mortar shell blast for disrespecting late ‘Dear Leader’ Kim Jong-il by drinking alcohol during the 100-day mourning period.” All socialist roads lead to Pyongyang.

    I wouldn't last 6 hours in that army. I'd be like 'yup this is bourbon, and nope I don't know her name.' Then I'd be shot.

    This guy probably had an experience most people who were killed by mortars did not, he saw it coming.

  • The best part? That they made him just stand there on the pre-targeted "X" knowing he what it was for.

  • Wow, those are some seriously disturbed people! 100 days post mortem and their still crying like teenyboppers at a Justin Bieber concert.

        • Hey PsychoDad, just saw an ad for that tv bin Laden movie coming out and even the ad is sleazy. Think we should look up National Geo. address and ask them how they justify inflaming the muslim world and putting our people at risk after the whole administration told the world that was what happened last time?

        • you're asking ME that question flash?

          I opt for the or else!
          But then, in case you weren't aware, I'm Texan.

  • I suppose if he wins re-election our own Dear Leader will want a mortar to go with his Kill List.
