Kim Jong Un's uncle was reportedly given one of the most brutal death sentences imaginable last month.
According to NBC News, which cited a report in a Chinese newspaper, Jang Song Thaek and five of his closest aides were stripped of their clothes, tossed in a cage and eaten alive by a pack of 120 hungry dogs. The dogs had reportedly been starved for five days.
I heard different numbers of dogs vs days, but yikes.

47. Dog meat;
Is considered a delicacy in Korea, much less the amount of food shortage in t he country.
Just saying.

22. That's a completely different news source than NBC is quoting...
...NBC story is quoting a "a newspaper with close ties to China's ruling Communist Party."
If anybody is going to have the truth about what's going on in that godforsaken country, it would be the Chinese communists.

Just my guess.

18. This dictator seems to be the most evil one the DPRK has ever had to put up with
Maybe the world.
Let me see...he executed his own girlfriend, forced people in 10 different cities to watch 80 citizens be machine-gunned for watching South Korean soap operas, and now this? This bastard is looking more like Stalin every day.

45. There are lots of cruel people in the world
The amerikan people love water boarding of Muslins by the CIA sponsored by War Criminal Cheney
However when the shoe is on the other foot they get outraged when someone tortures amerikans
The Japanese treatment of POWs in WW2 was worse than anything the Vietnamese did to Mclame

34. We are better than North Korea!
Our corporate media makes sure we know it!
Strip searches? Mass surveillance? We should be GRATEFUL!!!!11!!!
Someday, I'd like to see a stream of stories from Norway, Sweden, New Zealand....
Wouldn't it be nice to compare ourselves, once in a while, with the countries we SHOULD be comparing ourselves to?

52. LBN MY BUTT - This is just frikken hearsay and gossip
.
.
.
NBC reporting from a Singapore source to a Hong Kong paper to a Chinese paper to US blogs etc., etc.
Here the MSM go again - creating hatred that fuels the "righteousness" of the MIC et al for another war/invasion/slaughter.
Saddam was bad, but the region was more stable when he was in power - AND THERE WAS NO AL QAEDA in Iraq when Saddam was in power. (and no nukes)
USA forced a war/invasion/slaughter - "liberating" them from Saddam, "giving" them democracy -
that's working well . . .
NK ain't no pearl either, but it's contained.
Leave it the **** alone.
Or help NK out in REAL ways - try to give it a reason to trust the rest of the World, especially the USA and it's minions.
NK sees what USA does to countries that can't defend itself and is very fortunate that they don't have any notable oil/gas reserves.
If NK had oil, and Iraq didn't, where do ya think the PNAC gang woulda engaged in 2003?
