Certainly Seoul is watching this closely, noting the messaging that nuclear use guarantees a military response, but not necessarily a nuclear one. https://t.co/gdzJZ80C2B
I feel horrible for the surviving child that saw his parents and sibling gun down in front of them:
Three members of a Korean American family were among the deceased victims of a weekend shooting spree at an outlet mall in Texas, a South Korean diplomatic mission said Sunday.
The couple in their 30s and their three-year-old son were shot to death in Saturday’s rampage at the mall in Allen, while another child of the couple was injured and is being treated at a hospital, according to the South Korean Consulate in Dallas.
The shooting has left at least eight people dead and seven others injured, according to CNN.
The gunman, identified as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, was killed by a police officer who was at the mall for an unrelated issue. The motive behind the killings remains unclear.
What I find interesting about his shooting is the media has been focusing on how he is an alleged white supremacist without mentioning the irony of judging by his name he is Hispanic. The focus really should be on is that this guy has long had mental issues. He was kicked out of the Army back in 2008 after only 3 months of service due to mental health issues. So how is a guy too unstable to stay in the Army allowed to buy a gun?
People who say "it's more about the pageantry" need to explain why other monarchies are never covered in the US this way. Naruhito's coronation was just 4 years ago. There was no round the clock coverage in the US. https://t.co/UTta8PKaMV
Begpackers are the bane of my existence. Every time I go to a major Asian city, I find these shameless Westerners begging for travel money. KL, Taipei, Seoul, etc. These ones outside Chatuchak Market, Bangkok. It's disgusting. Travel is a privilege, poverty is not a choice. pic.twitter.com/CVsKDpsB37

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and an even better New Year!
Whenever Dustin Hoffman is trending, it reminds me that there is a “hopu” (a Korean beer hall, after “hof” in German) in Korea called Dustin Hopu-man, which is a delicious pun on his name. (There is no F sound in Korean, so it is typically replaced by a P.) pic.twitter.com/pJLa7IBzex
