16. Kim, Jong-un seems far more paranoid than his father or grandfather

Thu Dec 12, 2013, 10:19 PM

Dec 2013

He's been in office two years and so far he's had what, one purge per quarter? And don't forget this asshole forced his ex-girlfriend's family to watch her being put before a firing squad - and then shipped all the survivors off to prison camps. He also executed 80 people for the heinous crime of watching smuggled-in South Korean soap operas. I would predict a coup in North Korea except that he keeps shooting anyone who might think of challenging his power.
