I read about this story this morning and was pretty disgusted.
Then considered my reaction and the agenda of those pushing this.

Remember the Baby Incubator Story coming out of Iraq?
It was pushed by the Kuwait Government, our allies and there was definitely a political agenda involved.

This story is coming out of Singapore who heard it from a source in China, who heard it from an insider in North Korea.

It made the news because of political agenda's involved, despite the truth of it.

This.

Your heart stops, your brain circuitry is almost instantly fried. It is more terrible for those watching.

Because it is more pleasant on those watching the execution

I guess this is my way of saying I do not believe the story.

In a state with one of the highest number of inmates awaiting execution, a malfunctioning electric chair that caused a prisoner's mask to erupt in flames has drawn widespread condemnation from death penalty opponents but only cautious concern from officials reluctant to change the way Florida kills its criminals.

The injection method, which is used by most of the states that allow the death penalty, ''appears to be a medical procedure,'' Senate Majority Leader Locke Burt said. ''A painless death is not punishment.'' Despite Fire, Electric Chair Is Defended In Florida - NYTimes.com
The above incident occurred in 1997. This was not the first, nor the last malfunction for Florida's electric chair, 'Ol Sparky. Miami Herald: Electric chair has a troubled past

Ah, statism at its finest.
But now for the jokes.

When asked for a comment, Dennis Rodman said he's reserve judgment until after he watched the video of it his friend Kim Jong Un sent him. And posted it to Youtube.
PETA issued a statement decrying the starving of the dogs for 5 days as animal cruelty.
Isn't there any way we can get Al Qaeda pissed off at North Korea?
Remind me not to buy any dog food from North Korea. Or anything. Ever.
The Obama administration announced it was lifting more sanctions from North Korea and sending them more aid if they agreed to stop feeding people to dogs and just go back to building nuclear missiles.

If this is true, and I put nothing past the psycho nutcase. This is pathetic, barbaric, grisly sicko, twisted, and warped.

To watch this all play out, is even more disgusting twisted, and barbaric, and I put nothing past this bastard.

I don't believe they know the meaning of Mercy in North Korea, wonder how he would handle this himself, if he faced the same music. And others stood by and watch his fate in the same manner.

I'd feel bad for the starving dogs, since if there was 120 of them, there wouldn't be enough meat to go around...

But yeah, I don't know if I buy the story. This sounds like a scene from Team America: World Police...
