They have an overdubbed version of “Reefer Madness” which they force you to watch in the Seoul Jail. Well, they don’t force you but it takes over all channels and with four guys per cell the TV is always on.
Assaulting Korean-national investigators is not really part of the ‘English teacher/pothead’ meme. The ‘prone to sudden and/or irrational acts of violence’ meme is typically used when slagging on USFK personnel and their dependents.
Marijuana sumggling: 5 years.
Adultery: 18 months.
Groping a woman’s rear on a subway platform: 6 months.
Hospitalising schoolchildren with beatings: a transfer.
Massive fraud and tax evasion: a pardon.
Raping a child in your care over a period of 7 years: a warning.
No, nothing seems deficient about this country’s judicial system.
YSB, that is a perfect summary, right there.
That should be YBS, of course. Danmed dsylexai.
Well done, Bum Suk.

Raping a child in your care over a period of 7 years: a warning AND CUSTODY OF THE CHILD
Goddamn Canadians!
30 Lbs is a lot of weed though, vis a vis inappropriate sentencing you nailed it. I sometimes wonder what some of the judiciary here are smoking when it comes to the bizarre way they sentence so leniently for really nasty crimes, and what the politicians are shoving in their pipes when it comes to the pardoning of corrupt gangster-style ‘businessmen’.
Bum Suk, this is what’s commonly known as Ajoshi Justice.
Kinda like the case several years back in which a Korean woman was charged with assault for injuring a man. Oh, and that man happened to be raping her at the time that she “attacked” him.
Or the one where the judge determined that a Korean woman could not possibly have been raped because…wait…hold it…here it comes…her jeans were neatly folded on the bed.
Then there was the case in which several ajoshis were let off on rape charges because the person they raped was a transsexual, and we all know men can’t be raped.
Which leads to the appeals court that overturned a conviction against a taxi driver who raped a 19-year old American soldier, citing the fact that the ajoshi “didn’t use enough violence” to consider it rape.
The examples really are endless…

That is the best summary of Korean justice I have ever heard. Bravo. It is a proud day for all of us Koreans.
Now if only those Koreans who are still mindlessly obsessed with Dokdo and US beef turned their attention to more important things like fixing the economy or the fucked up system we call justice.
“we all know men can’t be raped”
They should make it a law in Korea that any man who claims that a man can’t be raped be ass raped. Let’s see if they will claim the same thing afterwards.
Word, Jewook.
Word.
That just doesn’t make sense. Isn’t the street value about a million bucks USD? (30 pounds x 16 ouncesx 28 grams x $100/gram?)
Doesn’t that qualify him for rich man’s jail and Lee Myung Bak’s rich man’s Christmas pardon? (All inclusive with a slice of rich man’s humble pie, on a shiny solid gold plate)
At what point does the all wise and soju empowered Judiciary lose sight of skin colour and just see W$W$???
$100/gram? I’ve got some shake for you for half that price. Good deal, I promise.
100 dollars a gram is nonsense. I can’t believe that ganja is so expensive these days. When I bought some (many moons ago) it was nowhere near that price.
$100/gram? More like $40/ounce.
South Korea is drug-free.
Jewook and Yu Bumsuk are weed using gyopos.
south korean law has its short comings in protecting, generally speaking, the weak.
as late as 1980, a person could get away with murder, if it fit the following category.
a drunk Korean adult male, driving, and hitting a teenager who was delivering newspapers by bicycle.
all that was needed was money to settle with the family.
Habwie.
this is the background.
NohMooHyun and Kim Daejung are the people who started giving gays in Korea recognition as human beings, and allowing mothers to give their own last names to their children, who like Obama, practically never saw their fathers. Obama could have been President Dunham.
the short comings of the Korean system do not require a curbing of Korea’s most excellent anti-drug laws.
the short comings of the Korean system do not reflect badly over all in terms of civil safety. Seoul is way more safer for the average Korean versus Newark, NJ, East St. Louis, MO, Compton, CA, East New York, NY, etc. I think what counts is overall civil safety. Korean govt is not foaming at the mouth to have 100 thousand more cops in the street to protect the citizens. The US govt has.
don’t let degenerates like Linkd succeed in persuading Korea to relax its drug laws.
drug enforcement laws and rape laws are separate matters.
you don’t tear down good laws and thus somehow make other laws better. Each law is separate.
i would have opposed giving gays recognition as separate people. That’s an un-natural discrimination.
i would have opposed allowing mothers to give their last names to their children.
this is against tradition.
this creates a severe muddling of traceable genealogy. Potentially causing unintentional in-breeding.
then, again, many fake Kim, Park, Lees have already made infrastructure for this.
“South Korea is drug-free.”
Tell that to Psy, Hwang Soo-jeong, and a few others. They were obviously arrested for oregano and aspirin.
South Korea is indeed drug free.
Can you imagine Lindsay Lohan actually becoming drug free?
Hwang Soojeong is probably now drug free. The humiliation and social rejection has pretty much eaten away the prime reproductive years of her life.
there is no real difference between the two. Sex, drugs. One was exposed in a different country, of superior morals.
You waegooks don’t realize something about Korea. It is not Singapore, but it is not Canada, either. You use drugs, you pay with your life in Korea. You want to ruin your life, go ahead. Order weed to your house by mail.
Post your successful stories here. May the KNP show up on your door steps.
Every waegook promoting universal drug use in Korea is to be set back in his proper place.
IndoChina has been set back physically, mentally, and psychologically for decades due to opium use.
It is so prominent even in western literature, that they confuse dambae smoking in Korea with opium addiction, when looking at old photos.
Happy Thanksgiving. I thank God that I never used illicit drugs.
“South Korea is drug free.”
Tell that to the Korean girl who offered me some pills two weekends ago from her personal stash. And while you are at it, tell the gay Korean guy who tried to pick me up last Thursday that sorry, he can’t be gay, at least not in Korea.
“One was exposed in a different country, of superior morals.”
Superior morals, really? So raping a retarded teenager is moral? Letting the rapists go with the girl firmly in their custody of her rapists is moral? Beating a student to death then covering it up because the school and principal would lose face is moral? Gang-raping a middle school girl and the police refusing to press charges because it would bring shame to the boys’ families is moral?
You have a very strange definition of morality.
“You use drugs, you pay with your life in Korea. You want to ruin your life, go ahead”
You’re right, Hwang Soo-jeong and Psy’s lives were COMPLETELY ruined by using drugs. (eye roll) Hwang’s life was so “ruined” she went right back to acting. Psy’s life was so “ruined”, he went back on tour and made even more money. He suffered so much humiliation and social rejection and learned his lesson not to do drugs so well, he was caught a second time. Oh, the poor, poor guy with all his millions and fucking his groupies. He sure learned his lesson.
“IndoChina has been set back physically, mentally, and psychologically for decades due to opium use.”
You seem to have been set back decades, too. It’s South East Asia, not IndoChina.
“Jewook and Yu Bumsuk are weed using gyopos.”
At least I’m not smoking weed on a daily basis like you are. And if you have something on your mind could you please put it into a single long comment instead of wallpapering the screen with wjk. And how about writing in paragraphs instead of single sentences, or are you to stoned to do that?
I was commenting about the reality of the Korean Justice system, which is very messed up. Just because I’m Korean doesn’t mean I have to defend my people and never be critical of them. What would fucking up reality and making Korea look like a sugary theme park do, except make me look stupid. You didn’t look very intelligent when you were claiming that Koreans weren’t racist on another thread. Pretending a problem isn’t there doesn’t make it go away. Pretending that Korea is drug free doesn’t make it drug free. I’m sure you’re claims of Korea being drug free are very soothing to the rape victim who got her drink spiked at a nightclub.
Clearly understand that western people couldn’t care less what a Korean says or thinks about them . They can “bag” English teachers as much as they like .
WE DON’T CARE . We are so happy that your neanderthal minds are so homogenized .
The less of you infiltrating our civilized societies the better .
I don’t know why folks go to all this trouble to import weed when Korea is well-suited to producing a very decent smoke.
Back in the day (early 80s, and this was well before the impetus to produce high THC-containing herb) I recall a number of times getting quality product from native sources.
They claimed it was homegrown, so it, like many other things, made the kooksan element proud.
They should plant that bell and let it ring.

Actually I’ve never smoked weed and I’m white, but I guess Internet wankers will assume whatever they want.
At least, in 5 years GI Joe will come out alive, and free to try that again in Singapore… In which case he’d do that for the last time.
That’s what I’m talking about Cactus McHarris, although as I recall, one had to sometimes go through several bags of ragweed to get to the good stuff.
