Practicing for the two outcomes of the career
Not high ranking enough for the AA gun. Sad.
As bad as things get in my country, at least we’re not using AA for executions.
Our country, sadly, still has executions, and some states are eager for them even as lethal injection supples are withheld in protest by foreign suppliers.

I’m left as fuck asf but I support the death penalty in certain cases.

Some people really don’t deserve to be alive and that’s a factual statement regardless of morality.

The problem is that there is literally no way to ensure that you never execute innocent people. And no, it doesn’t matter what solution you come up with, it’s not going to work. So you have to ask yourself: is killing people you think “don’t deserve to be alive” worth killing innocent people? Again, there is no option “kill them without killing innocents”. You either kill both innocent and guilty people, or you don’t kill anyone.

Unfortunately the death penalty is currently not about killing the criminal, but a good-looking death. Basically it does not matter if the person suffers for an hour, as long as it is not visible.

From hanging, electrocution, to gassing (yes, US did that at one point) and lethal injections, the method was always slow and painful.

With the lethal injections one, most chemicals were banned for it, so they are poorly researched by laymans, not as functional and literally made so the person is paralyzed, while they still can feel everything and can painfully be dying for half an hour.

Idk, honestly, of all the ways to go “executed by AA gun” is pretty badass.

I’d take it over lethal injection tbh.

I mean neither is North Korea, the woman that a blog claimed was killed that way has made a lot of public performances since then, but a good lie will spread forever
North Korea executes defence chief with an anti-aircraft gun - South Korea agency

North Korea executed its defence chief by putting him in front of an anti-aircraft gun at a firing range, Seoul's National Intelligence Service told lawmakers, which would be the latest in a series of high-level purges since Kim Jong Un took charge.

Oh they did the same story again with someone else, their source is ‘trust me bro, it’s for real this time’
it’s not as though it is a thing to be admired, like a work of art… it’s a fucking gun. that is what you do with guns.
Yeah, but how many crates did he have to open to get it?
I can admire a well made hammer
I never point guns at my head.
“Is this loaded?” Click click click “ah good okay, safe to pose with”

You know this is stupid, but after all this time I just thought about the fact that he couldn’t have wrote the line about jumping out of the window. Which is obvious but somehow until today watch I never thought about it at all.
What in the world is the context of these? I don’t even understand based on the twitter post
Remember that scene in Lord of war, where Nicolas Cage goes to this weapons Expo with a bunch of criminals, defense contractors and world governments? Basically what’s going on here, just a bunch of war mongers making money
What a world we live in, lmao. Bizarre as hell
The first picture is a perspective thing, right? He doesn't hold it against his head but looks at it.

No, it is exactly what it looks like. Even @IranDefense twitter account is a little…bemused by his behavior:

This North Korean delegate was very interesting to say the least 🧐...

Twitter
Yeah there's been a flood of news about it.
Shame actually. I very much appreciated Prigozhins shenanigans and how they took pressure off Ukraine.
Damn he really couldn't help but live out a fantasy of his in this public moment.
I wonder if it’s not even a fantasy suicide thing.
He could have been checking to see what it felt like when he puts the gun to other people’s heads.
“I do this a lot, I need to know it looks cool.”
That account’s profile clearly states it’s _un_official, just BTW.
Look at his arm, the gun is in front of him.
Guys, he’s demonstrating gun safety the same way Detective Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau from Disco Elysium shows it. Minus the “blowing out your own brains” bit.
He’s proving his loyalty to the glorious leader, obviously
Flip the panels and we got a hot new suicide meme format.
I like your way of thinking
Fake Rolex Explorer and a shitty clone two-tone pistol. That’s the bodega owner’s special.
Can you really tell it’s fake?
Call an ambulance! Not for me.
When you select minions based on allegiance instead of talent, then execute anyone who ends up being too capable, this is what you’re left with.

Smart guy. Could use him in hollywood movies.
That’s one Rusty comment
just the haircut makes him look distinctly north korean, any other haircut and you wouldn’t be able to tell
Both the haircut and the button-down tan pocketed shirt
And what I believe is a Kim Il Sung pin!

“Wow, a gun! I wonder if its loaded?”

“Nope!”

Damn…

Fresh meme template right there
It’s like an edtreme version of the Skinner meme, am I so out of touch? No it’s the children who are wrong!

I thought it was a meme and that the title was its caption. Lmao

Just say there thinking, “I don’t get it.”

Why do both of these North Korean dudes have arms that look like they have severe heart issues.
What do you mean by that?
Digital clubbing, look at his fingertips and notice the disparity of color between his red swollen arm and the left pale thin arm. A photo with both arms down would be nice but I don’t it interesting anyhow.
Most of white people I know including myself have light “bottom” side of hand, palm facing down, and darker top side. For obvious reason, sun
Both sides of his other are still much lighter…
Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s related to malnutrition due to the various famines North Korea has endured. He looks like he probably would have been in his teens or 20’s during the Arduous March famine in the 90’s, so unless he was from a powerful/influential family then he likely suffered from malnutrition while a conscript in the army.
