Any South Koreans wanna share what the local perspective on this incident is?

Cliffs: South Korean government in the 80s before the Olympics, rounded up alot of "vagrants" (mostly disables, lost children, dissidents), put them basically into concentration camps where they were used as slave labour, raped, murdered all whilst receiving government funding. When it was finally busted wide open, prosecutor was blocked at every turn by government officials that even the President at the time requested the owner of the facilities was not prosecuted (he got 2 and a half years). Some fucked up shit.

North Korea?

How does that compare to China and Brazil? I don't think they're anywhere on that level, but I've heard some horror stories from those two places in regards to hosting the Olympics

The Horror!

Look up the Gwangju massacre, as well. Another one to add to the "if government is the only one that has guns" debate.

North Korea is worse because when things like this happen in the South it's called a scandal, but when it happens in the North it's just called Tuesday.

South Korea is still the most impressive success story in the entire 20th century. From backwater to what it is today in a matter of decades. That's the power of America's backing. When you have communists back you, you end up North Korea. LOL.

Almost as fucked as Roy Jones Jr. being robbed.

Because economic success trumps human atrocity. Spoken like a true conservative.

Atrocities happen in the North daily. So shaddap.

It was the 80s, almost 30 years ago, its like bitching about 70s Germans because of what they did in the 40s.

It's official: North Korea sets the geo-political bar for all nations relative to what is the good or evil treatment of its citizens.

You're probably also really impressed with the moral performance of Saudi Arabia, another one of the USA's prosperous buddy nations.
