Is Kim Jong-un Piranha Tank Execution Story Another Click Bait Headline?
There have been so many false reports about the North Korean regime I find this report to be just another likely click bait headline:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reportedly executed a general accused of plotting a coup by throwing him into a piranha-filled fish tank.
The unnamed general was said to be the latest victim of the dictatorial leader, who has executed numerous aides, including his envoy to the US in May.
The general was allegedly killed inside a giant piranha tank built inside Kim’s Ryongsong Residence, in Pyongyang, after being accused of plotting a coup, the Daily Star reported.It is claimed the general had his arms and torso cut open with knives before being thrown into the tank, which was filled with hundreds of piranhas imported from Brazil, it is reported.

While the piranha tank is a bit far-fetched, good old fashioned firing squads seem to be working just fine:

18 bullets? That’ll be expensive for the family…
I prefer the AA gunning down his uncle story.
Maybe it’s the North Korean equivalent of Qualification Range Day?
Does North Korea bill the families for the cost of the bullet the way China does? Even at $.50 a round, that’s $9.00 the family might have a hard time coming up with, unless the firing squad takes barter trades.
