Geee Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Breitbart: According to a detailed report, Kim Jong Un fed his Uncle Jang Song Thaek to a pack of hungry dogs, a deviation from the traditional method of execution by firing squad. "Jang was stripped naked and thrown into a cage, along with his five closest aides. Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called "quan jue", or execution by dogs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 @Geee There is I certain fairness to this, as dog is considered good eating there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Great news: Kim Jong-uns uncle probably not executed by 120 hungry dogs. We think. Ed Morrissey 2:18 pm on January 3, 2014 Probably not. That rumor swept the Twittertubes of late, but its based on an unsourced report from one of Hong Kongs least-reliable tabloids, which is somewhat akin to being one of Barack Obamas least-credible promises. Max Fisher explains: If youve been on the Internet at all today, youve almost certainly seen the story claiming that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had his uncle executed last month by stripping him naked and feeding him to 120 hungry dogs. The story was first reported by a minor Hong Kong outlet on Dec. 12, was picked up by a Singaporean newspaper on Dec. 24 and since late Thursday has been sweeping through nearly every corner of the U.S. media. The only problem is that its probably probably not true. (Snip) Jang most likely met his end with a firing squad or some other more modern execution method, which makes him just as dead. Or maybe (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
