While it looks to me like there was more evidence of the Korean Left all being child molesting litterbugs than Patk having ordered criminal activity, I understand that Korean “justice” is not subject to my understanding of the evidence.

Sad this is happening now. Fat boy up north gonna use it for his advantage.
