Police questioned him for 19 fucking hours over his personal recreational drug use — yet another victim of the war on drugs, created a century ago by conservatism to persecute minorities and the poor.

The police, the state, and Korean culture killed this man through bullying and harassment, because of what he chose to do with his own body — which should be nobody's business but his own.

A lot of people with mental health issues self-medicate with illegal drugs. This guy was probably suffering from depression, and the police pushed him too far. So ridiculous and tragic.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
