  • So... was this intended as suicide by border guard? I imagine whatever his original plan is he's going to end up regretting it.

    • It only winds up being suicide by border guard if someone is trying to escape, not so much so if someone is trying to get in. Not too many people want to go to North Korea if they can help it.
