Default This is.....so sick!

It is not only sick it's also so awful to those who stood in front of these weapons

Ouch...

Well, on the upside, there probably wouldn't have been much left of the poor sods after that, so death would hopefully be mercifully quick.

Kind of a stretch to identify those tiny little blotches as human.

No I meant the interpretation that they are people and not something else. It's certainly possible that they are, apparently the NK's are known for doing such things, but I can't tell that from the picture in the article.

There was a series of executions recently as Jong-un cleared house of potential trouble-makers.

This could have been that, it's not unlike the DPRK to use unconventional execution methods, I believe last year they executed someone by flamethrower.

Default no giddyup left in the late "Excellent Horse-Like Lady."

Well it's a step up from ravenous dogs used on his uncle...too bad about the opera star girlfriend perhaps she didn't sing Fatboy Kim's praises highly enough.

While not the best way to go, it's probably more humane than executions in the US.

Well with those large caliber guns one thing is for certain, if it was people they didn't suffer.

That is assuming that they actually hit the prisoners...I mean, if their AAA is anything like their rockets...

It wasn't a reply directed to you.
Just a nonchalant, smartass comment in general.

Maybe the .22lr ammo shortage has hit NK too.

Perhaps one day justice will turn full circle on the little cretin...those who live by the sword will eventually die by the sword.
