Drunk ajushi kills worker over “too loud” music,
https://hapskorea.com/man-arrested-murder-cuts-workers-safety-cord-apartment-yangsan/

A 41-year-old man was arrested for murder in Yangsan this morning after he cut a worker’s safety cord because the music playing from his cell phone was “too loud”.

Yangsan police say the man went to the top of the 15 story apartment and cut the two men’s safety cord with a knife at 8:13 a.m. this morning who were applying silicon sealant on a 12th floor window.

In other craziness today:
http://mengnews.joins.com/view.aspx?aid=3034572
A homemade bomb containing screws, gunpowder and batteries went off at Yonsei University in western Seoul on Tuesday morning, injuring a professor after he opened the mysterious box that had been left hanging on the doorknob of his office door.

The professor, surnamed Kim, who works at the School of Mechanical Engineering, arrived at his office on the fourth floor of Engineering Hall 1 on Tuesday morning and found a paper bag hanging on the doorknob to his office. Inside was a box.

Kim brought the bag into his office, took out the box, and opened it. The bomb went off immediately. It was around 8:40 a.m.

Really? A bomb at a Korean university? That’s not exactly a common occourance, is It?

Hard to say, Smokes. I did find a link, and the story is as strange as anything to come out of North Korea:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/university-of-virginia-student-otto-warmbier-in-a-coma-released-from-north-korea/2017/06/13/febba10a-503d-11e7-91eb-9611861a988f_story.html?utm_term=.92563b5c30a6

TOKYO – University of Virginia student Otto Warmbier has been medically evacuated from North Korea in a coma after being detained for 17 months, his parents told The Washington Post on Tuesday.

Warmbier, 22, is due to arrive home in Cincinnati on Tuesday evening, having been evacuated through a U.S. military base in Sapporo, Japan.

I’m not buying that Otto has been in a coma for a year, especially considering North Korea’s medical system:

The Warmbiers were told that he contracted botulism soon after his trial and was given a sleeping pill, from which he never woke up.

There is no way of knowing yet whether the North Korean version of events is true, but the Warmbiers were told their son was in a coma the whole time. State Department officials are accompanying Otto Warmbier from Sapporo to Cincinnati.

North Korea has woefully inadequate medical care, and it is not clear how North Korean doctors had been caring for Warmbier for more than a year in an unconscious state.

And of course, US Ambassador-at-Large, Dennis Rodman may have had a little something to do with all of this:

Warmbier was flown out of North Korea on the same day that Dennis Rodman, the controversial former basketball star, arrived for his fifth visit in Pyongyang. Rodman’s trip caused a media frenzy because of heightened tensions between North Korea and the United States, but it also raised speculation that he might be going as an envoy to secure the release of Warmbier and three other Americans being detained.

Officials involved in securing Warmbier’s release told The Post that it had nothing to do with Rodman’s trip to Pyongyang, calling it a “bizarre coincidence” that might have been a deliberate ploy from North Korea to distract from Warmbier’s condition.

Yeah, this is one for the books. Up there with some of the greatest “Florida Man” stories out there.

I’m more attuned to the growing not-so-subtle calls for expanded/enhanced security for officials. Similar to right after the Gifford shooting, terrible idea.

GI you still on the hate bandwagon for Fox? Man they’re the same as all the other major news outlets except for PoV. More and more the smaller outlets and independent individuals are selling out as well. Like Obamacare, Journalism is dead, DEAD!

Well well, look who woke up from his own coma.

Took you long enough, how awesome is it that’s Trump is your president? 2-time loser Hillary’s been tossed like garbage and Trump is *your* president.

Show’s what your side knows. Go watch those vile fake comedians with a box of tissues shaking your head north-south crying away the next 3 – 7 years because it’s all your terrible party’s going to get to do. Losers don’t get to dictate terms.

Hahahhahhahaha!

Tbonetylr has to say “President Trump” just like all the other snowflakes!

He got out of jail, wiped the manjuice from his mouth, and ran to the nearest internet access to say something unintelligible about something.

…but he still has to say “President Trump” when addressing HIS president.

It is hard to remember exactly what his issues were…

…but they matter even less now.

Welcome back, Tbonetylr.

Out of the can, and back to being as annoying as ever.

Does your P.O. know you’re on the internet? Usually there are terms to release.

Don’t even try to BS us that you left off being stupid of your own free will. You’ve been a guest at the Gray Bar Hotel. What were you in for, Convict?

The GOP’s formerly disgraced house speaker Newt Gingrich of the 90’s tweeted on May 27th, 2017
“Robert Mueller is superb choice to be special counsel. His reputation is impeccable for honesty and integrity. Media should now calm down.”

So what could’ve happened since then? Who has gotten to Newt as he’s now Trump’s helpful asst. voice to threaten Moeller from doing his job?

I need to apologize to everyone here.

I was messing around in an abandoned church at midnight and I accidently dropped a baby into a pentagram made of virgin blood and surrounded by goat heads and chicken bones.

I might have inadvertently summoned him.
