Looks like at least 5 bars burned up right in the middle of hooker hill. Tiger is one I can still read. And Texas and one up from that. All th way down to Rosy.

Insurance job?

[Malislamusrex]

I saw it in the morning... what a mess.

That must be related to this story:

In the article it said the damage was estimated to be 25mil won. Doesn't that seem a little low if, as you say, 5 bars were affected? I should point out that I haven't seen the street since it happened.

[Swampfox10mm]

Maybe 4 bars? They are beyond repair. Roofs mostly gone. The 25 mill figure would not cover one bar. At first I thought insurance too.

Probably a fitting end to the place. Too dark for photos, and after soju kettles at pollys, I can barely type as it is.

And didn't they just get yet another curfew lifted?

[Swampfox10mm]

I think they are now reaping the benefits of lowering the bar for entry into the armed forces.

Just last week, I saw a news story about gangs infiltrating the US military to gain heavy-weapons experience. The Korean media had a field-day with that one.

"The soldier was in violation of a nighttime curfew imposed on U.S. servicemembers and was at a venue declared off limits to U.S. servicemembers since 2003, U.S. military officials said.

"The standing of U.S. forces in South Korea has plummeted recently following two rape cases and perceptions that U.S. servicemembers get special treatment in investigation of crimes, and this latest incident is likely to further fan discontent among South Koreans.

"South Koreans say the U.S. military does not do enough to curb troop misbehavior."

A few illegal brothels burn down and it's because the U.S. military is not doing enough to control its troops?

The commanding officer was heard reprimanding his troops from two floors up the next morning after the perps were caught.

His exact words were not clear but they went something like this:


"THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE...unintelligible..."

[PeteJB]

Nothing for years and suddenly all this crime? What the heck is going on.

[rollo]

I am curious swampfox when did they lower the bar for entry into the military? I thought that you had to have a clean criminal record to enlist. Has that changed and when.

I think it is more likely that gangs recruit former military than try to infiltrate the military.

The US army had a gang problem long before 9-11,Iraq, and Afghanistan.

When I read the title I thought it was going to be about getting an STD.
