King, who joined the U.S. Army in January 2021, faced two allegations of assault in South Korea, and eventually pleaded guilty to one instance of assault and destroying public property for damaging a police car during a profanity-laced tirade against Koreans, according to court documents. He was due to face more disciplinary measures when he arrived back in the United States.

So this refuge from racism he desires (according to NK) doesn't extend to Koreans I see

I heard - purely rumors - that he had been subject to tons of racism from the South Koreans and finally snapped one day.

I’m not surprised.

This actually makes complete sense

No it doesn't. Why isn't every other minority serving member in South Korea snapping and taking refuge in North Korea?

You can simply be responsible to the decisions you make.

LOL. How come every black person didn't try to free themselves from slavery? How come every black person didn't become a civil rights activist? How come every black person didn't march on Washington, become a conductor on the underground railroad, or join the Black Panthers?

Your grasp on what it means for an issue to be systemic is ridiculous.

destroying police cars is quite poggers as long as nobody's harmed
