South Korea's ex-president Yoon avoids questioning by taking off clothing (www.abc.net.au)

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)

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 3 points 6 days 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.)

Imagine treating a coup-plotting shameless president this way.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Me when I ask the wife for seks after ten years of relationship.

Well they did want the naked truth from him

Not that relevant German music video.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Should have expected that ending, but nope.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

I think you mean super relevant actually. As we all know that is precisely what happened here, even with the seal costume and all. Any information to the contrary are total lies /s

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

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 37 points 1 week ago

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

[–] diptchip@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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