North Korea executed its Minister of Defense for disloyalty, with a FREAKING ANTI AIR CANNON - Polidicks

[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;47715450]Since when did DPRK become ISIS? This is shit ISIS has been doing for a while. God damn, AA-cannon executions are fucking brutal and terrible. [editline]13th May 2015[/editline] If I ever had to be executed, I would mandate this as my last wish. Going off in a (pretty fucking loud and huge and shiny) bang.[/QUOTE] DPRK have been in the torture and bizarre killing game longer than ISIS or Al-Qaeda has If anything they've probably learnt from them

[QUOTE=El Burro;47715369]It's already been mentioned in this thread, but that story was fabricated by the Chinese tabloid, Wen Wei Po.[/QUOTE] So what happened to him then?

[QUOTE=DMGaina;47715646]So what happened to him then?[/QUOTE] I've heard he shitposted on SH for a while and then got banned

[QUOTE=Michael haxz;47714881]which is still not guaranteed instant[/QUOTE] Not guaranteed for some, but there's a pretty good chance of it. Take the guy who was executed by insurgents with the .50 cal (IIRC) on the back up of pick-up truck. His entire head was exploded by the round, which would've also severed his brain stem in the process and take his life almost instantaneously; not to mention the fact that the brain itself is gone, too. I would assume that being shot in the head by something bigger than that (20 mm, perhaps) would really take his life instantly, unless they chose to aim at some other part of the body.

[QUOTE=Sableye;47715511]The reason is even worse Apparently he fell asleep during a Kim event[/QUOTE] It is also a sensational lie, invented after an initial news. Also, I seriously doubt this event really took place. This is the fifth minister of defence that was executed with some stupid method. Previous ones were shot from grenade launcher, burned with flamethrowers... and then suddenly decided not to die, and return to work. Remember the name of current victim, I have no doubt we will see him again soon.

[QUOTE=mochisushi;47714486]Video?[/QUOTE] I don't think people have vcrs anymore

[QUOTE=dai;47716426]why was any of this necessary to prove 'entire head was exploded' was a fast death[/QUOTE] He must play dwarf fortress

Always be careful about these sorts of claims, it's not the first time people took a political execution in NK and slapped some cartoonish gruesome death over it.

Man, I read the thread title wrong and thought that they killed him with an air cannon.

An anti-air cannon seems overkill, though. Did they shove him out of an aircraft before shooting him down? At least it beats the execution by mortar-fire they were doing a while (?) back

[QUOTE=Shibbey;47717287]An anti-air cannon seems overkill, though. Did they shove him out of an aircraft before shooting him down? At least it beats the execution by mortar-fire they were doing a while (?) back[/QUOTE] Why would you shoot a man after throwing him out of a plane?

probably didn't actually execute him and it's just a cover for him to go elsewhere or as a show of power

Knowing North Korea, this is how they're covering up a malfunctioning anti-air cannon that killed one of their own.

[QUOTE=Novangel;47714750]What's next, execution by a test nuclear bomb detonation?[/QUOTE] their nuclear tests are how they execute prisoners in bulk there's something of an execution backlog in north korea you see just another example of dear leader's penchant for efficiency!

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;47717296]Why would you shoot a man after throwing him out of a plane?[/QUOTE] Maybe he's a big guy.

[QUOTE=Deng;47714603]I have reason to doubt this tbh. While North Korea does execute people often, reports of them using bizarre methods (like feeding the person to dogs or using artillery) is usually exaggerated.[/QUOTE] Indeed. If anyone's getting fed in Korea, it's going to be Kim.

Rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated it seems: [url]http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2015/05/13/North-Korea-defense-chief-was-purged-maybe-not-executed-says-Seouls-spy-agency/1931431522581/[/url] [url]http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20150513001100[/url] Apparently, he has been... "purged"?

This is literally how propaganda works. Keep spouting bullshit until something sticks, and even then people will still believe because this practically turns into subliminal messaging where you make North Korea synonym for political executions or make WMD linked to Iraq. Feel free to believe you're immune to propaganda tho.

But Iraq did have WMDs, there was a recent declassified report that says so. We just secretly bought them and destroyed them But yes the way he was executed was described does seem sensationalist but all we have is south korea really to tell us what is going on

Feel free to believe you're immune to propaganda tho.[/QUOTE] Agreed, there's been plenty of South Korean reports on "north korean barbarity" that have ended up being totally false, like the one where people thought Kim Jong Un fed his dogs some family members. Is North Korea an oppressive and fucked system? Yeah. But is Kim Jong Un literally Satan on earth? Probably not. Propaganda literally works by playing with your existing misconceptions of someone who has been portrayed as "bad" and makes you go, "See! Look at that fucker! He's an evil shitlord!"

Pretty cool thing to get killed by tho. Could have just been a boring lethal injection. Do they really have the money to use AA guns like that?

According to some sources, this image was made today. If this is true, he looks pretty rad for a guy killed from anti-air cannon [t]http://cs625223.vk.me/v625223072/30758/xhqJ5TjHMeY.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Occlusion;47715222]There's satellite imagery of it, pretty good confirmation.[/QUOTE] You're talking about this right? [img]http://truthaboutguns-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Korean-execution-site-courtesy-telegraph.co_.uk_.jpg[/img] Even then the image was shot from October. It confirms that they have ranges for AA, but doesn't confirm that they used it to execute anyone for that matter.

[QUOTE=Michael haxz;47714615]I don't know about you but I don't really want to see the the effects of a 23MM Armor Piercing / High Explosive burst on a human target. Probably not a whole lot left of him, if anything.[/QUOTE] Probably never detonated and just went straight through him, leaving a nice hole

I pictured a tiny chinaman being shoved into a 18th century ball canon and being shot into the sky like team rocket from the tv series pokemon.

Can we kill this fat fuck and all his fucked up family so we can get rid of any chance that more of this shit happens in this god forsaken country?

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;47730151]Can we kill this fat fuck and all his fucked up family so we can get rid of any chance that more of this shit happens in this god forsaken country?[/QUOTE] Good idea, then he'll get replaced by another crazy fat fuck.

[QUOTE=Michael haxz;47714881]which is still not guaranteed instant[/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/8GFJ7f9.jpg[/t] I'm sorry but if that doesn't instantly kill you then you are literally super man
