Martial law because the President doesn't like the National Assembly? In 2024?!
koreapol, haha no fuck you to hell
We don't particularly like politicians either but we will fucking march in the streets before they can be arrested for the crime of annoying the President. We KNOW how this story goes and it won't stop with the arrest of political opponents. It never does.
koreapol, fashy fuck is fashy
Anyway this precedent is dangerous as all-out because he basically wants to arrest opposition party leaders for the crime of winning elections and holding the administration accountable. If this is allowed we might as well not hold elections anymore, and flawed as that system is we've known the alternative for decades. This. Will not. Stand. Like dude did you forget what we did to the last President from your party? How she was stripped of office and went to jail WITHOUT ever having made noise about martial law? Oh, you will know pain 
koreapol, high comedy, caps
THE HEAD OF HIS OWN PARTY PUBLICLY OPPOSED MARTIAL LAW AND PROMISED TO OPPOSE IT incompetent prick doesn't even have his own party's backing, oh this is going to be fuuuun
koreapol, oh it's on
He's sealed off the National Assembly with police buses lmao like dude! We actually remember the military regime years. You just booked yourself a jail cell like duuuude
koreapol, let's get information~
People are joking around like, "Do we really have to go to work under martial law? Do the kids go to school?" Meanwhile we're all suddenly learning that the National Assembly doesn't necessarily have to be held AT that particular building... 👀
koreapol, it's starting & probably premature dramatics
Soooo it's getting real folks, our glorious martial law government has instituted a ban on assembly and arrests without warrants are in effect, I'm not entirely sure what else will shut down so if I don't log in for a while it might be because of Some Shit. And if I never log in again... avenge me ✌️
koreapol, internetz
People are checking opposition politicians' YouTube live streams to check if they've been arrested or not lol
koreapol, it's a coup my dudes
Naturally, the first thing people do when told they're not allowed to assemble is... assemble on the front steps of the National Assembly! As one does. Assemblypeeps are getting in, there aren't enough police for crowd control, the army including Special Forces are on their way to the Assembly, military choppers are flying and tanks are rolling into Seoul. Shit's getting real, folks.
koreapol, my people
There's a scuffle before the National Assembly with civilians stopping armed soldiers from getting into the Assembly, how is this real life? Special Forces (evidently the only branch of the military that knew and was preparing in advance--this stinks of advance collusion) are getting off choppers and making their way to the Assembly building. The administration has no legal authority to stop the National Assembly from meeting, by the way, not even under martial law. This is clearly a coup attempt.
koreapol correction: tanks but no tanks
Evidently the tanks rolling into Seoul was fake news, despite the neat narrative appeal. Special Forces seems to have been the only branch of the military to know ahead of time anyway, there probably wasn't even time to mobilize tanks... so far. Unfortunately the Special Forces arriving at the National Assembly on choppers are very, very real.
koreapol correction: tanks but no tanks
@Satsuma Yeah he doesn't seem to have colluded with enough of the military outside of Special Forces and the Assembly resolution took enough wind out of the sails that we hopefully won't be seeing tanks on the streets 🤞
