If you don’t know what I’m talking about… the article is here.
But basically Robert Park a 28 year old Korean America went into North Korea and was detained. “He did this to bring awareness to the situation in North Korea, alert the churches around the world to the atrocities and human rights violations — not pay lip service, and (to) do something about it,” Benson said in Tucson. “Drastic situations call for drastic measures.”
Well… you’ve got my attention. But… what do we do now?
I always knew koreans were crazy. Go to any 4am morning prayer meeting and you’ll see. Crazy in a good way. Most of the time.
I have some Korean-American friends that have done missions work in North Korea. They don’t really talk about it much, like its no big deal.
I was thinking just the other day… where are the revolutionary leaders? Where are the people like Dr. Martin Luther King who had a dream and changed history? I don’t feel like we’ve seen a leader like that since, maybe we have and I’m just ignorant to it.

I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.
Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show?
How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities?
I think if people see this footage they’ll say, “oh my God that’s horrible,” and then go on eating their dinners.
