In short

A special counsel sent investigators to retrieve South Korea’s former president Yoon Suk Yeol from a detention centre near Seoul after he twice defied requests to attend questioning.

Yoon resorted to a new method to resist, by taking off his prison uniform and lying down on the floor of his detention room.

Counsel team members refrained from using physical means out of safety concerns, but notified Yoon that they would execute the warrant next time.

(Note: this source uses two headlines for most posts; the headline in the submission is the shorter one)

Wondering how his crimes compare to that of other leaders. He obviously overlooked someone he should have payed off.

US cops would beat your ass before your pants hit your knees. Not joking or exaggerating.

In the US he would still be the president.

Depending on whether or not they view Asian people as "white", they would just shoot you and get 3 months paid vacation for it

Imagine treating a coup-plotting shameless president this way.

I'm stealing this idea.

I think that's okay, because he stole it from every 3 year old having a tantrum.

Every single thing is someones fetish

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

Ima need you to point out the person who has me as a fetish.

(I’m trying to come up with a witty joke about their terrible decision making, but I’m failing that at the moment.)
