North Korean crackpot Kim Jong Un appears to have stolen a page out of the ISIS execution manual.
A North Korean defector, whose father was a senior official in the hermit country’s regime, told the UK Mirror that she watched 11 musicians get “blown to bits” when they were executed with high powered anti-aircraft guns. The gruesome deaths, watched by 10,000 North Koreans, were ordered by Kim soon after he took over for his late father, Kim Jong-Il.

It gets more graphic so if you have a delicate constitution or just don't want/need to know don't click the link. I know that killed is killed but the manner of execution that these people were subjected to, as well as the North Koreans who were probably ordered to watch, is beyond insane. Kim makes Dahmer, Gacy, Manson, etc look sane.

Lets just kill him.
If NK wants to get another crazy leader.
Kill him too.
But, to kill millions of innocent people is just dumb.
The Nayirah testimony was a false testimony given before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990 by a 15-year-old girl who provided only her first name, Nayirah. The testimony was widely publicized, and was cited numerous times by United States senators and President George H. W. Bush in their rationale to back Kuwait in the Gulf War. In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign which was run by American Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti government. Following this, al-Sabah's testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.

Is there any way to verify any of this? It reminds me of the "Nayirah testimony" which helped get us to fight the first Gulf War. Of course, that testimony later turned out to be completely false.
ETA: From the wiki link:

ETA2: Just realized there's a whole term for this, called "atrocity propaganda". There are a lot of links about different instances of it, which you can easily find for yourself.

Not to mention that this is all coming from a defector. In order to get status as a refugee in a host nation, asylum seekers usually have to prove that they're in danger back at home (or something to that effect). In other words, it gives people an incentive to exaggerate.
I'm not saying this is the case here, but I think it's ridiculous to base our military responses on the unsubstantiated claims of a single person.
At a seminar hosted by the Database Center for North Korean Human Rights (NKDB), an NGO based in Seoul, it was revealed that people with disabilities in North Korea are killed at birth, often by their parents, or sent for use in medical experiments at universities or "Hospital 83."
The NKDB conducted comprehensive interviews with 100 defectors who lived in North Korea between 2010 and 2014 for the report on the monitoring of North Korea's implementation on United Nations Universal Periodic Review's recommendations.
