skinz Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If true it's a bit OTT innit? The guy pulling the trigger must have been crapping himself at the possibility of missing. Gulp! http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/13/us-northkorea-purge-idUSKBN0NY01J20150513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loraward Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/13/us-northkorea-purge-idUSKBN0NY01J20150513 Kim had previously ordered the execution of 15 senior officials this year as punishment for challenging his authority. There must be senior officials that are thinking they might be next so why on earth don't they assassinate Kim before he has them executed.

jfish1936 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Vespasian lived to become Emperor of Rome, despite having fallen asleep during one of Nero's performances; that would usually have earned the death penalty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 That story a couple of years ago about him having one of his officials killed by dogs turned out to be a load of crap! this probably is too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I dont believe it for a second. The west and our allies are just making up this random mental behaviour in order to show what a despot he is and then have reason (eventually) to invade. Im not doubting hes a bit unhinged but off'ing someone with an anti aircraft gun? Yeah, ok then lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottletop Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I read about this earlier this week, it's all a bit 'James Bond' isn't it!? However apparently there were satellite pictures taken of a setup with a big gun aimed at a building or something to back this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same type of intel that got us embroiled in the second gulf war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Perhaps the anti-aircraft gun was only supposed to cause a superficial grazing type of wound ... a bit of a warning sort of thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could well be right..but, could the "turned out to be a load of crap" turn out to be a load of crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
