        In North Korea, as in China or India, it means the executed lost his patronage, for they are ALL corrupt. @BBCBreaking @BBCWorld

        @Abdi112 he's 30 with the maturity level of a bitter teenager. Remember when he executed his ex girlfriend? He's too much.

        @Abdi112 yes she had a sextape apparently so he had her executed. I think 10+ others also got executed for unrealistic reasons. So sad.
