There's all kinds of yap about fake news but I haven't heard anyone question how it's even possible to execute someone with an anti-aircraft gun. (CNN: North Korea executed 5 security officials, South Korea says)
People won't buy it if CNN says North Koreans eat their children but this story has been playing for some while as Kim Jong Un's latest favorite way to execute people.
Five North Korean officials have been executed by anti-aircraft guns, according to South Korean lawmakers.
The deputy minister-level officials had worked under the recently fired state security chief Kim Won Hong, and are believed to have been executed for making false reports to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to two parliamentarians who had been briefed by South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS).
"Kim Won Hong, the state security chief, is in a house arrest situation after an investigation and more than five deputy minister-level officials who worked under him have been executed by anti-aircraft guns," South Korean lawmaker Kim Byung-kee said.

Doesn't anyone ask what's the fucking point?
New anti-aircraft weapons mostly use missiles but the older ones were either flak guns to shoot the ordnance high enough to hit bombers or they were the four-barrel, high-caliber machine guns. Either way, killing someone with this type of weapon is hardly worthy of Inquisition standards since it would be over instantly.
Rockhouse credibility judgment: less than zero
It's novel to see CNN getting self-righteous about justice in North Korea when America has the highest percentage of incarceration for the population of anywhere else in the world. (WIKI: List of countries by incarceration rate)
The heinous level of incarceration of juveniles in America is patently evil but that number has been falling for years and was at its height during the Bill Clinton administration.
Note: recording in that scale only goes back to 1997 but the trend toward reduction in the juvenile prison population has been consistent since that time.
It's not hard to see the reason it's so easy for this type of news story to work since right now on Twitter, there are many arguing vehemently about Kellyanne Conway putting her feet on a sofa in the Oval Office. (Fox News: Twitter erupts over image of Kellyanne Conway kneeling on Oval Office couch)
Note: the link is to Fox and ordinarily I would ignore it but I've seen those Twitter monkeys really are going berserk on the matter and Fox happened to have a convenient link.
While it may seem America is populated solely by hopeless nitwits, at least one is still thinking. America's traffic problems have now got so bad that some guy opened his taco truck for business in a traffic jam in Seattle yesterday. (KING 5: Seattle taco truck serves stranded drivers)
Rachel McQuade and her husband were caught behind a tanker that overturned on I-5 Monday morning, blocking all southbound lanes. Then the couple noticed a bright green beacon of hope: the Tacos El Tajin food truck. The clever truck operators opened for business right there on I-5, even accepting debit cards for payment.
Rachel's husband got four tacos and a drink on the freeway - with a great story to share.
