Report: North Koreans Are Being Questioned, Punished For Not Having Grieved Enough

Video
» 50 comments

You’ll likely remember how, after news broke of former North Korean “supreme leader” Kim Jong-il‘s death, hordes of North Koreans were filmed crying, gnashing their teeth and falling to the ground in public, dramatic displays of mourning. There was a reason for that — new reports our of North Korea indicate that citizens are now being arrested for not having mourned enough.

On Thursday’s America Live, host Megyn Kelly opened up a segment about this with one simple question: “Seriously?”

RELATED: Sad And Creepy: Watch North Koreans Weep Hysterically Over Death Of Kim Jong-il

Fox News’ Greg Palkot made sure to note that these reports are based on accounts from defectors and informants. That said, those informants have indicated that the North Korean government is holding very harsh “truth sessions” with people who did not show enough grief, did not show up to public grieving events, tired to leave or who tried to use cell phones.

Watch the report, from Fox News:

    They have got to overthrow that regime before it’s too late.

    At least, their nukes are safe. The new leader is a four star general, at a very young age, so he must be really capable.

    This is just like that time when Michael Jackson died and everyone at work hated me because I didn’t think it was a big deal.  I mean, it’s not like he was going to come out with another Thriller anytime soon.

     If Fox News was not around our media here in this country would be the exact same as the North Korean media with there leadership!….Not interested in questioning his authority but more interested in his Obama’s NBA picks and his favorite color! calling any opponent to his agenda racist or stupid.

    Thank God Fox News does not get chills up there leg every time Obama speaks!

    A trailer park in Alabama is 50 times as good as what the average North Korean has to live in.  You need to grow up.

    It’s “Uncle Kim”. But NKINO will do. There’s plenty of them in the country, not that there’s anything they can do without getting shot.

    Then don’t watch FOX. Watch the other networks (and other news outlets worldwide) covering the same story.
