(U.S. Department of Justice via AP) <\/p>\n<p>AnotherPat sends us a link to the strange activities of former US Marine Christopher Philip Ahn, who with a group of like-minded people took it upon themselves to attack the North Korean embassy in Spain. Read on:<\/p>\n<p><strong> The Associated Press | By Christopher Weber and Michael Balsamo <\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>LOS ANGELES \u2014 A U.S Marine veteran from Southern California was part of a group of dissidents wielding machetes and fake guns when they stormed North Korea&#8217;s embassy in Madrid and tied up and beat officials inside, federal prosecutors alleged in a criminal complaint released Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Spain is seeking to extradite Christopher Philip Ahn on charges including robbery, illegal restraint and criminal organization. Judge Jean Rosenbluth denied bond for Ahn during a Los Angeles court hearing attended by his wife, mother and about two dozen other supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The judge also denied a defense request to keep the complaint sealed. The Associated Press wrote a letter to Rosenbluth strongly objecting to keeping documents private, though the judge said she was inclined to make them public anyway since Ahn&#8217;s name was already reported.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said Ahn, 38, was arrested during a raid last week on the Los Angeles apartment of a co-defendant, Adrian Hong Chang, a leader of the Free Joseon group. Hong Chang was not at home and has not been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>Free Joseon, also known as the Cheollima Civil Defense group, styles itself as a government in exile dedicated to toppling the ruling Kim family dynasty in North Korea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nothing wrong with peaceful demonstrations against Kim&#8217;s regime, but attacking embassies go far beyond rational protests.
