South Korean authorities take impeached President Yoon to detention center after questioning
apnews.com
Yoon was brought into custody about three hours after hundreds of law enforcement officers entered the residential compound in their second attempt to detain him.

Summary

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was detained following a large-scale law enforcement operation at his presidential residence.

Yoon, who declared martial law on Dec. 3 to counter an “anti-state” opposition, had defied multiple summons for questioning.

Law enforcement overcame barricades and resistance from Yoon’s security service, detaining him under accusations of rebellion.

The liberal opposition supports his arrest, while Yoon’s party calls it unlawful.

Yoon’s impeachment awaits a Constitutional Court ruling, which will decide whether he is formally removed or reinstated.

    You’re right, he’s only a convicted felon.

    All systems have anomalies. A healthy system addresses the anomaly per the rules of the system. An unhealthy system breaks to accommodate the anomaly.

      True - I’ll grant that. But the size of the anomalies in this case are very different as well. Yes Trump should absolutely be held accountable and it’s a crime that he hasn’t been. That said his crime wasn’t on the same scale (yet - he still has a second term) as Yoon. This guy declared martial law because he didn’t like the laws the legislature was passing. That’s fucked up on a level Trump hasn’t achieved yet.
