whether the guard is 13 or 80 or male, female, or a transexual, what does it matter? I don’t think the South Korean public would nod their heads and be like, “oh oh, i see so that’s what happened.” If anything the Korean public will think, “wow, what a f#$ked up country giving a 17 year old girl an AK-47″.

Neither the distance of the shot, nor the cold-bloodness of the murder shows that it’s done by some 17-year-old female soldier.

Besides, she would always verify and wait for a direct order before she shoots a civilian in a tourist area.

And, as the witness said, there had been 2 shots heard, so, as always, the North Korean version is a complete crap.

I would seriously investigate those “participants” in the meeting for links to KJI. It stinks of leftists.

#4, the Chosun article is interesting for an idea of what groups are willing to fall for this (likely) falsehood (civic groups and other leftists).

It’s also interesting that anyone would feel a need to defuse any public anger. MH commentary has us believe that the Korean media is all Dokdo and Mad Cow and no one in Korea cares about the poor woman who got killed.

A young female soldier… It’s probably a ruse. Question is, who’s trying to defuse the Korean public’s anger with such a rumor?

I think “rumor” is the wrong word. This looks like deliberate disinformation by the North Koreans.
