Execution By Anti-Aircraft Gun: The Photographic Evidence
North Korean defense minister Hyon Yong Chol made a mistake: he fell asleep at an official event at which Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un was present.
Kim, keen on sending a strong message amid rumors that his grip on absolute power may be slipping, reportedly decided that the appropriate punishment for napping during a rally is execution by anti-aircraft gun.
If true, this would mark the latest in a series of “purges” which seem to lend some credence to the notion that Kim’s family name is no longer sufficient when it comes to securing absolute power and universal admiration both from his inner circle and from North Koreans in general. At a more basic level, executing someone with a ZPU-4 pretty much ensures that nobody will ever be caught napping at official events ever again.
Since the story broke there have been a few competing accounts of what fate ultimately befell General Chol, but according to the Committee For Human Rights In North Korea, satellite images from last October confirm the defense minister might well have met his fate at the hands of four 14mm heavy machine guns normally used to shoot down helicopters.
Via HRNK:
While examining satellite imagery of an area near the North Korean capital city, the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) and AllSource Analysis, Inc. (ASA) may have come across evidence of a ghastly sight: the public execution of several individuals by anti-aircraft machine gun fire.
A military training area generally known as the Kanggon Military Training Area is located approximately 22 km north of the capital city Pyongyang (Pyongyang-si). Given the size, composition, and location of the training facility, it is likely used by both the students and staff of the elite Kanggon Military Academy (6 km to the southwest) and units from either the Pyongyang Defense Command or the Ministry of State Security. Encompassing approximately 12km2, the training area is composed of a number of dispersed small facilities. One of those facilities, located 1.5 km northeast of the small village of S?ngi-ri, is a small arms firing range (39. 13 48.64° N, 125. 45 29.03° E). This firing range is approximately 100 meters long by 60 meters wide and consists of 11 firing lanes. A range control/viewing gallery and parking area are located immediately south of the firing range. A small drainage ditch horizontally bisects the firing range. This firing range is typical of many ranges throughout North Korea and is designed for small arms training and maintaining proficiency for weapons ranging from pistols to light machine guns, and chambered for 7.62mm (the standard AK-47 rifle round) or less.
Sometime on or about October 7th, 2014, some very unusual activity was noted on satellite imagery of the Kanggon small arms firing range. Instead of troops occupying the firing positions on the range there was a battery of six ZPU-4 anti-aircraft guns lined up between the firing positions and the range control/viewing gallery. The ZPU-4 is an anti-aircraft gun system consisting of four 14.5mm heavy machine guns (similar to a U.S. .50 caliber heavy machine gun) mounted on a towed wheeled chassis.
And would anyone in full possession of their faculties fire an anti-aircraft gun at this small arms firing range?
It is neither safe nor practical to use such weapons on a small arms range, as the combined weight of fire from the six ZPU-4 (a total of 24 heavy machine guns) would quickly destroy the downrange backstop and necessitate reconstruction.
A few meters behind the ZPU-4s there appears to be either a line of troops or equipment, while farther back are five trucks (of various sizes), one large trailer, and one bus. This suggests that senior officers or VIPs may have come to observe whatever activity was taking place. Most unusual in the image, perhaps, is what appears to be some sort of targets located only 30 meters downrange of the ZPU-4s.
In case you are still skeptical, here is why those “some sort of targets” were likely human beings who we assume committed “some sort of” treason in Kim’s estimation:
The satellite image appears to have been taken moments before an execution by ZPU-4 anti-aircraft machine guns. Busing in senior officers or VIPs to observe a ZPU-4 dry-fire training exercise at a small arms range amidst North Korea’s fuel shortages would make no sense. If the ZPU-4s were brought to the range solely to be sighted in, conducting this exercise at a 100 meter small arms firing range would be impractical. A live-fire exercise would be even more nonsensical. Rounds fired by a ZPU-4 have a range of 8,000 m and can reach a maximum altitude of 5,000 m. Positioning a battery of six ZPU-4s to fire horizontally at targets situated only 30 m downrange could have no conceivable utility from a military viewpoint. The most plausible explanation of the scene captured in the October 7th satellite image is a gruesome public execution.
Just out of morbid curiosity, how might an execution by anti-aircraft fire unfold?
Anyone who has witnessed the damage one single U.S. .50 caliber round does to the human body will shudder just trying to imagine a battery of 24 heavy machine guns being fired at human beings. Bodies would be nearly pulverized. The gut-wrenching viciousness of such an act would make “cruel and unusual punishment” sound like a gross understatement.
We'll close be reiterating what we said earlier this week. Even if General Chol was indeed an unwilling participant in a recreation of the scene which HRNK claims played out last October at the Kanggon Military Training Area, it could have been worse. He could have merely had a visit from a lethal drone operated out of Nevada, and disappeared in an unsourced explosion, with the same effect.

It is almost like they are purposely trying to legitimize this guy for propaganda purposes by feeding the masses stories like these.
If they are trying to create fear they are trying to control you simple as that. Fear begets more fear.
Someone let him know they caught yellen napping during one of his rants....
Executions are off their lows. This is the recovery they've been forecasting for 8 years.
Photographic evidence? I was expecting a photo of some hamburger meat with some military ribbons sprinkled on it.
And as for the photo of the guy sleeping, the quality is so low and they are Korean, so how the hell can we tell if he is sleeping or wide awake?
Thank God for leaders such as Kim Jong Un. They remind us that if not for eternal vigilence we would all have leaders like them.
At least the good General didn't leave a good looking corpse. Hey by the meeting photo he wouldn't have left a good looking corpse anyway even if he had died naturally. So he had that going for him.

Dave was the honey dick.
Plus where is this evidence I was promised by the headline?
Larry Summers.
Even IF this is actually true, and I'm kinda sceptical, who cares? We kill people in ways worse than that all the time. Although with our drone strikes you don't have the torture of anticipation, standing there in front of the guns, I would imagine this is probably better than experiencing a thermobaric getting dropped on your house, or being in a cave when one falls near the entrance. This sounds like the same kind of shit they always pull to get us in 'the right frame of mind', so to speak, just before it's times to go fight the next scary boogeyman overseas. I'll be Kim then went in there and PERSONALLY bayoneted the babies of their next of kin or something equally absurd a-la the nazis or Iraqis.
If you blow up that photo some more, you can make out an incubator.

Where are the North Korean "environmentalist" nut-jobs protesting lead bullets contaminating that site? No throngs of people in the aerial photo...
I dont see any actual proof here, just circumstantial anecdotes that could easily be falsified. This is such idiotic and blatant propaganda is laughable. Remember the killed by pack of dogs guy? Turns out that was a wee bit fabricated.
What an atrocity. I mean I am appalled at the utter disregard for the environment and humanity. This execution could have been carried out by lethal injection and all the organs saved for medical purposes. Instead, the environment has been fouled with lead and innocent birds may suffer.
Looks like someone needs some more Freedom & Democracy...
North Korea might just fit right into the future One World Order, seems like they are ahead of their time.
as mentioned above, george bush, dick cheney and barack obama have all been crueller than this putative execution. at least the guys were dead about a fast as physically possible. not so with "collateral damage" from drone strikes, not to mentioned tortured to death (which i'm sure the n.k. do world class). as for the torture of anticipating death, i'm not sure going to sleep or attending a wedding in drone country is wildly different.
"Turns out I'm really good at killing people," Obama said quietly, "Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine."
What a giant load of smelly bollox this story is. Total prop a ganda.
ZH approaching it's "News of the Day" moment fast perhaps?
C'mon.....
Wouldn't it be funny is NK was behind the NWO all this time?
What exactly is money?

So, actually, it was NK who was responsible for MH017. Oops, sorry that was a Missile....Must have been Iran?
.
Hey, it's every bit as credible as the satellite photographic "evidence" peddled by Pyatt (US ambassador to the Yatzi junta), NATO general Philatio Manlove, and US State Department pinocchiette Jen Psaki about the latest weekly Russian Invasion Of Ukraine®.
Hey, don't jump to judgement so quickly. Ukraine president Porosenko is now claiming that the Russians have invaded North Korea. Shouldn't we wait to hear his side of the story? It's the fair and balanced thing to do.
Well, yeah. But hey, those photographs of Russian tanks in Georgia from 2008 that Senator Inhoofe revealed as proof of a 2014 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine® were some pretty compelling evidence. The pictures were in color and clearly focused, leaving no doubt that Russian tanks were present at that location when the pictures were taken.
How barbaric.
FEMA camps will use guillotines.
It would have been over for him in miliseconds, about as close to instantaneous as you can get. He certainly didn't have any time to suffer.
“cruel and unusual punishment”
Seriously? If I had to be exterminated...this technique would make my top ten list.
I can think of hundreds of methods I would NOT like...this one is over once the first round hits and sends the pressure shock though your body...immediately rendering you brain dead.
Yeah, and ZPU-4 has a firing rate of 2,400 per minute or 40 rounds per second. Could death really be any faster?
I still like the way Tyrion Lannister siad he wanted to go out....At he age of 80 with a glass of wine in my hand and my cock in some girls mouth.....
Texas should look into this method.

I'm with Silky on this. I was looking for a picture of arms pulled wide by ropes and a brand new 8" porthole where a be-medaled chest used to be. Geesh, where the truth in advertizing here? Is a little "gory general" mayhem too much to ask for? (I don't know how little the general was, but he might have been tiny considering the diet over there these days.)
Well as a military guy he at least went out with a bang.
Ok, maybe 40 bangs.
Brian Williams was there...saw it all happen.
..and that's all you need to know.
Well then

"Wonder if he flew Rodman in for the spectacle...."
With a bucket of KFC for Kim, he loves that shit.
The 'Aliens' are still laughing their tits off at the fact that Cameron is considered a 'Leader' on planet Earth.
The moon is a guard tower.
Anti-Aircraft Guns my ass. Those are Anti-Drowsiness Guns, man.
This is what makes the West morally superior. When we have a supreme bogeyman, we wait till 15 years after he dies of natural causes, then dump his sorry a** in the ocean with no photos to prove it.
How comes that there are those images and really nothing about the BUK/MH17?
This reported barbarity is comforting in how it allows us to forget for a moment the tens of millions killed by 'our' empire since the end of WWII. Yes, thank you Kim Jong Un.

Chivas Regal?! A way overrated blended whisky. Give me an Islay single malt any time over that stuff.
Not sure this qualifies as "cruel and unusual."
Probably a wicked quick death.
Now strapping a guy down to a gurney for an hour of writhing around in agony because your lowest-bidder supplied death cocktail drugs are not up to the task, however...
Don't forget the potentially-hours long torture of incompetents trying to get IV access that precedes it. That shit hurts.
Could be done a lot less painfully using a bit of technology....an ultrasound machine to show the veins. But they cost money, big money, 'cause they're medical equipment.
Highest since Lehman?
Bullshit.
Remember, Amerika holds the highest population of prisoners in the world......and the US has turned that into a profit center to help grow the GDP.
Now if Kim Jong Un would take a lesson out of the US play book he could turn N. Korea into an economic power house...
shhhh!!! Lets not give David Cameron any ideas here about what to do with those failing to show sufficient adulation!!
There's nothing I don't like about this Kim Jong Un guy. World's most dangerous frat boy. He's a total nut bag. You really have to up-vote insanity any time you find it in it's raw, natural form.
Naw if he really was nuts he'd do it George Carlin style, put them in one of those trapeze cannons and shoot them into a brick wall. Have Dennis Rodman fire the cannons while dressed in drag.
He has a long way to go to get into the rarefied territory of Frank Pacholski.
https://www.youtube.com/user/FrankPacholski
That Pacholski character displays a special sort of insanity. Mad Hatters Tea Party on PCP. Now this is the kind of entertainment I long for when I visit grandma at the home. He blows the boring guy playing show tunes on a synthesizer out of the water.
I don't know why one of his generals doesn't just shoot him and be done with the rediculous fat little fuck; and what ever happened to his wife? Did she also have a tragic accident with a ZPU-4s? Maybe she fell alseep in his bed?
isn't this the same guy who did "Gangnam Style"? freaks got some moves. 50cal round goes for $5+.........
Dewey is right of course.
The process:
1. you have a disagreement with someone over something
2. you publicly engage in character assassination of that person(s) with all sorts of real or imaginary propoganda designed to demonize the opposition in order to garner public support
3. because this has been your M.O. so long and you've been caught lying so much engaging in the same sorts of behavior(s) more and more people catch on and ignore you over time, or critisize your tactics
4. you claim wide support for bombing, wars, etc., from those who are stupid enough to believe and support your lies, while manufacturing public opinion with the rest... and either ignore the rest who disagree or criticise your tactics or label them "unamerican" terrorists etc.
5. You are put on "a list"... and monitored.
6. You disappear one day, are framed, demonized, or have an "accident"
7. Game, set, match.
"It is almost like they are purposely trying to legitimize this guy for propaganda purposes by feeding the masses stories like these.
If they are trying to create fear they are trying to control you simple as that. Fear begets more fear."
Eh, not fear. Anybody who has looked at history knows that nutters like this wind up with issues involving the praetorian guard and generally lose their life. If 'Lil Kim keeps this up, he's going to wake up one night to the sound of his throat being cut.
The average congressman could use a wake call like that in DC.
The main reason to demonize North Korea is to drive a wedge between the North and South to prevent reunification. If there were one Korea, the US army would be kicked out, along with all their missiles pointed at China. It appears that Tyler has become a stooge for American propaganda.
Yes I agree, it appears to com from the pentagon. Interesting that there is such good satellite photos available for this sort of irrelevant news item and yet none available for MH370 or MH17 in Ukraine.
Bah. One can think of innumerable worse ways to die than by massed 14mm AA. Fast and done. Sure must be better than slow saw-saw-saw.
Fuck 'em. He (they) served a brutal master. They reaped what they sowed and got off without much pain at all. The poor peasant lingers in starvation.
I would chose this over lethal injection any day.
Rodman Target?
Looks kind of like those images of the "Russian missile systems" that shot down the plane...proof, no doubt.
The body is at sea.
No...in the air...atomized.
I bet all the ministers will paint eyes over their eye lids.
This clown thinks he is a gangsta lol. Somebody please nuke this fuckstick to hell.
I don't know man, it's pretty "gangsta" to tie someone 90 feet infront of an AA battery and let loose on them... Feeding his uncle to pack of dogs might get him some "gangsta" credit too. If the reports are true of course.
I'm not into the fear mongering angle much either, but it takes a twisted fuck to make public displays like this. Makes rectal feeding and water boarding look like child's play.
I'd say get rid of him on the sole grounds that I dont want the .gov to learn any new tricks...
I'm going to guess that Lil Kim learned it from them.
If you're gonna go, an AA gun or pre-sighted mortar is NOT a bad way to go. Much better than Old Sparky, Lethal Injection, Gas Chamber, or a Pig with a small caliber gun that can't shoot straight.
As an added advatage, the sheeple would get their panties in bunch and might even open their mouths in protest.
The Saudis take care of these matters in what is affectionately known as Chop Chop Square.
In today's Internet age the more sensationalistic the better because then the subject matter 'trends' on MSM and the coverage reaches the masses that would not otherwise catch the nuanced tenor of the message that the medium delivers. In this case, North Korea wants to be thought of as so nuts they would do anything to instill fear conditioning in their detractors. Little dogs deliver the biggest bark to capitalize on their only strength which is intimidation. North Korea is a paranoid poodle and acts like one too.
Brilliant idea. Kill one guy, his goons and hundreds of thousands of their victims to boot.
You should run for Prezzy. You might get a Nobel Dynomite! stick up the arse for your benevolent beneficience buttfuck.
PS - Fuck you the retarded horse that rode in on you.
Sheesh, even Obama's purges of high level military personnel haven't lead to executions...... yet.
I give it a few more presidential election cycles, then we're there. After which there will be no more election cycles.
I'm still not convinced we will have one in 2016.
The Bush Clan need the WH back. The Rockefellers demand it.
I said in 2008 that Obama would be our last president.
We'll have an "election" in 2016. The dog n pony show must go one.
Now if Kim really had any moxy, he would first tie the prisoner to the top of a rocket, then launch it, and finally take it all down with AA. He could clean out his cabinet and rattle his saber in a single stroke. He could even GoPro the whole thing.
John McCain should be next.
Then Pelosi, then Obama... then...
Orange people to the head of the line, and that can only be John Boehner.
Can we kill Eric Cantor again, just for fun?
We meat-grindered some folks.
Does that ever get old? lol
Nope!
Come on Dogfish, that's a far too humane way for that treasonous fuckwit to die.
I'm dissapointed in you. Tssk.
Go to the back of the class.
south korea already retracted this as bullshit.. because it it, in fact, made up bullshit that didn't happen.
Yeah, I'm not any fan of North Korea but this story smells of bullshit the same way the 1991 false Kuwait baby murder story before Desert Storm did, classic PSYOP propaganda to agiate the proles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmfVs3WaE9Y
and the stories of Germans killing babies with bayonets during WWI ... etc

So Katastro, is "communism" really a genetically transmitted disease?
Wouldn't it count for more that Barack's stepdad Lolo Soetoro, the man on whose knee he would have sat from age 5 on learning about how the world is and how it works, was one of the Indonesian Colonels who overthrew the government of Indonesia in an admittedly CIA-organized and financed and phenomenally bloody coup?
How would the Communists, a despised and persecuted minority who were hounded from public life in the '50's, ever manage to sneak one of their chidren into the White House? Wouldn't it make far more sense that the Deep State, working for the globalist corporations, would groom one of their own to look like one?
James Madsen's report on this is entirely plausible. To see it on Madsen's site you have to "join" the site. It is however also available on Alex Jones' site (which to me puts a question mark on it.)
http://www.infowars.com/bombshell-barack-obama-conclusively-outed-as-cia...
However, this story makes complete sense of the otherwise bizarre and incomprehensible history of Barack Obama, how he came to be President and the role he's been playing. It puts it in a historical context that has a ring of truth to one who's lived through those times and watched world events unfolding closely. Few have taken up this story line, but I have never seen it refuted.If Obama was then indeed mentored by a "Member of the CPUSA" while attending a private school in Hawaii favored for their own children by America's wealthiest families, could that not perhaps be part of the ruse, part of his being groomed to look and sound like a communist? It would be a reason to take a closer look at this Davis fellow and who he really is or was. We know for a certainty that the CPUSA was riddled with Federal agents and J.Edgar Hoover openly bragged about it.
But let's suppose Davis somehow turned the head of this young son of the Empire, despite his never having lived in America and having no personal reason to share the resentments of Black Americans. If we judge Barack by his actions, not his words, we find a staunch defender of the billionaires and their New World Order project.
For example, you could go browse the websites of the communists and socialists - they're not hard to find - and see if you can find one, just one, that has a single kind word to say about Obama's support for the TPP!
Why do you believe that you know ANYTHING about North Korea? All you can do is regurgitate the propaganda that your handlers feed you.
AH! It's good to be "supreme leader", No end to the ways you can dream up to amuse yourself (and keep the underlings in line).
I'm not sure this is all that bad of a way to go. Surely better than being "pulverized" by .22 shells.
It seems like it is intended more to torture the audience than it is the executed.
also better than being sent
to a CIA 'black site'
or solitary in a supermax prison
KJU can sell the target for millions at the next .01% art auction.

In response to North Korea's execution of multiple people by anti-aircraft gun, obama apologized to the un for abuse in the United States.
Kim is being demonised in the Western press too much, I reckon 25% is based on fact, the other 75% made up. Anti-aircraft guns makes a hell of a good story to what was probably a simple firing sqaud.
Remember the best trick of the Devil, to convince the world he doesn't exist (although one of my ex-girlfriends made me think about this point).
So one of the best tricks of the West has been to program the sheeple that only the commies do propaganda.
Anything at all to make the Kenyan froot loop, who arms and supports Wahabbi headchoppers in secular Syria, look better by comparison. Whatever Kim does, he does to his own people. Chalky and his gaggle of gossipy twat waffles go around uninvited killing people and suporting anarchy in weaker countries and expect a pat on the back for clearly making shit up as they go along. He has the solutions to the problems he created.
I voted for him once and need to be sent to Room 101 for re-education purposes.
Kim is the ultimate prepper and stacker.
He is toughening up his people to eating tree bark in full preparation for the Big Collapse that so many see as inevitable if not desirable. Like so many others, all we need to succeed is the death of millions of others. Stacking gold in hopes that everyone else has none when the big collapse hits.
Winning
This, and Colin Powell's teaspoon speech...
Who took these pictures? They are of far better quality than the ones the U.S. State Department tried to pawn off as evidence that Russian had invaded Ukraine.
i dont always like crazy, weird dicators. But when I do, they shoot generals with artillery lol
Simple question, was this reported as fact in the North Korean media?
If it wasn't then it probably isn't. If NK really wanted to make a propaganda point they would have published it for the world to see in their own controlled media outlets. Remember we are talking about a supposed control freak of a leader and a beneficial state sponsored propaganda story to forward that narrative here.
IDK, if I was going to be executed, I wouldn't mind this route over a traditonal firing squad.
I wonder if he got a 'last request' of another 20 mins of shut eye?
They gave him that and then much more...after the bullets shredded his body...IF...if it happened at all.
(Axtually this method is quite humane and lacks cruelty.)
wild speculation here
Someone should do a movie about this ....preferably a comedy.
The viewing area also contains the small brick room where the condemned are forced to listen to Obama speeches. I hear most of the condemned choose either the anti-aircraft gun or the hungry dog cage.
when stories say "if true" you know it is all BS... who the F knows what goes on in NK, anyone who claims to know if full of BS
More US Israeli propaganda
Those clever Izzies.
Now they're running the North Korean News Agency.
If they really wanted to have some fun, they would run a news story about Kim Jung Un shooting people for not laughing at his entry in the Mohammed cartoon contest.
Those look like WMDs!
Ouch! That has to hurt! But thats what he gets for surfin' the NET all night long!
SOCIALISM KILLS!
As i scrolled down i read "Ouch! That has to hurt!" and stopped reading without realizing you wrote it. About a tenth of a second later i estimated it had to be you. Half a second later i raised my eyes half an inch on the computer screen and verified the poster was, indeed, you.
It wasn't me. Plus you shouldn't read so close to the screen because it will radiate your brain in a nanosecond!
Let them eat "yellow" cake
It would be a lot cooler if he was hit with an air to surface Tomahawk cruise missle that carried him home and right into bed at 550 mph!
North Korea may be a shithole, but it's one of the few countries left that doesn't have a Rothschild run central bank. NoKo is an undeveloped country that the globalists would love to sink their teeth into and start doing some more money mischef. I was in that part of the world in 1996-1998 when the "Asian Tiger" economies crashed, what a fucking disaster! Then the US oligarchs went in and bought up everything at a 70% discount (SK Won was devalued 60%-75% in late 1997-early 1998 against the USD). Why do you think US car dealerships started selling Kia suddenly in the late 90s?
Who do you think is pushing this propaganda? Even if it turns out to be true since when does anyone in the media GAF about some dude in a dictatorship?
At least Kim sends clear messages.
Look at the people we have, Boehner for example. Is he even working on overturning R v W?
Arrest Lloyd Blankfein before he arrests you.
A good definition of overkill
The world would be so boring without guys like this.
yea as cogent as Colin Powell's we must invade Iraq speech at the UN, it's probably true, but such an image doesn't prove much
"Bodies would be nearly pulverized. The gut-wrenching viciousness of such an act would make “cruel and unusual punishment” sound like a gross understatement."
Funny, I would think it would be a pretty humane way to go. I'd rather be liquidated into a pink cloud than shot through the heart with a few rounds.
me too me too
Yes, they way Pres..Peace Prize does it is so much more humane
Pick a name off a list, send the command to some fat fuck in Vegas pushing buttons in between sips of a Big Gulp.
Kill "terrorist" and their family. Give Bug Splat Jockey a medal for bravery
The way we obliterate is much more civilized.
American Exceptionalism!
I'm sure the death would have been very quick. But Kim makes the same old mistakes ALL the dictatorial strong-men do...they go for theatrics instead of keeping it real, and practical.
Your smart tyrannical despot would have dispensed with the drama and had the offender taken 'out back' and dispatched with a single bullet. It would be announced he had decided to "spend more time with his family".
Theatrics are a sign of weakness.
Yes, but who is responsible for these theatrics? Lil Kim? or the Western Media?
Rest assured, if enemies don't exist, they will be created.
That's how Stalin did it. Call together thePolitburo for a mandatory six hour speech.
Beria would tap you on the shoulder, take you to the basement, face the wall. One in the back of the neck. Orderly removes the body. Next!

Once Hyon Yong Chol relized he had been caught sleeping when the little tub of shit was present, he should have blown 'Lil Kims brains out.
He would know he was going to be excecuted anyway, may as well stir things up on the way out!
I think this tells you that NO ONE carries weapons in the presence of the Dear Leader except for his personal guard.
