Anti-Kim Leaflets Land Near North Korea’s Border With China And Little Rocket Man Is Having A Cow...
South Korean activists, most of whom are North Korean escapees, prepare to release balloons carrying leaflets and a banner condemning North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during a rally in Paju, South Korea, near the border with North Korea, Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016.
When South Korean balloon-lifted leaflets criticizing Kim Jong Un recently landed next to a high school close to North Korea’s border with China, security agents mustered teachers, students and soldiers to bury the fliers -- then made them all pledge to keep the incident as a state secret, according to sources in the region.
Launching anti-Kim leaflets into the North by helium balloon across the Demilitarized Zone from South Korea has been a tactic of Pyongyang opponents and human rights groups in the South for decades, but North Korea recently decided to make the fliers a main point of contention in inter-Korean relations.
On Tuesday North Korea destroyed a landmark liaison office with South Korea in a “terrific explosion” -- days after the country said it was cutting all communications with Seoul over the anti-Pyongyang leaflets.
Many experts believe that the leaflet drops are merely an excuse that North Korea is using to ratchet up pressure on Seoul and Washington in a renewed drive to gain concessions in stalled denuclearization negotiations. Pyongyang seeks relief from sanctions aimed at depriving it of resources and cash for illicit weapons programs.

Man Beaten by Gang Says One of Them Shouted “Black Lives Matter”
Victim brutally assaulted outside a convenience store in Texas.
A man viciously beaten by a gang of young black men in Spring, Texas claimed one of them shouted “black lives matter” after kicking him in the face.
Video of the incident shows the victim leaving a gas station convenience store carrying two bags.
The 24-year-old man claims the gang of six black men confronted him inside the store after he told them, “There’s a line for a reason” when they tried to cut in.
The gang then waited for the man to leave the store before brutally assaulting him with numerous punches and kicks to the head.

The footage shows another black man wearing a white t-shirt then walk up to the victim and boot him in the face.
“I don’t know what else I could do,” he told KTRK-TV. “The fifth one at the end came out of the store after purchasing goods, and came up to me and kicked me in the face and said, Black Lives Matter.”
However, the victim’s girlfriend tried to downplay any racial motivation behind the attack.
“I really hope they’re caught before someone else gets hurt,” she said. “I hope that the people take this and don’t say, ‘It’s white against black.’ I don’t want this to be the statement. I want it to be, here’s a man who was checking out and stood up for himself and he was targeted for that.'”
