I do believe they have the ability to hire people to open fire in movie theater such as the Chinese Theater or any theater in major city.

The risk for Sony was far too great. What if there was bloodshed over a dopey movie? That would be the end for Sony, it's employees and shareholders.

It's an entertainment company, not a militia or army.

So you think that, on short notice mind you, that NK could "contract" out with individuals who would need to come to the United States and purchase a firearm and then coordinate an attack on a movie theater.

OR

Contact someone loyal here in the US who may or may not have to go purchase a firearm and carry out a coordinated attack.

Sounds like a lot to do on a couple days notice...unless you are saying that an active NK terror cell resides in the US currently

Any of the above.

When they've followed through with every threat, why would it be unthinkable that they wouldn't follow through one more time?

Just so I'm clear, you are claiming that North Korea follows through on their every threat?

So I guess all those "free speech" and "freedom of the press" Liberals out in La-La land just shit their pants and decided to fold up the tents.

How admirable!

1. North Korea found out about this movie and said it should not be made.
2. Sony ignored them and produced the movie.
3. North Korea threatened to respond if Sony didn't pull it from the schedule.
4. Sony ignored them and planned the release, anyway.
5. North Korea hacked into Sony's network and threatened to release info.
6. Sony, again, ignored them.
7. North Korea began releasing embarrassing emails, obtained information about every Sony employees, threatened to post five unreleased films, as well as the $300 million budgeted Bond 24 script.
8. Sony threatens a 9/11 type of response if the film was released theatrically.
9. Exhibitors decided against showing the film.
10. Sony pulled it altogether.

North Korea has followed through with every threat. Do you really believe that Sony should have ignored the threat of violence, with possible loss of life, over a dopey movie?
