If interested, there's a little more info on Claudette Colvin here. I posted it in BHP a few months back. It's an interview from NPR that came out when someone was writing a book on her in 2009.

Phillip Hoose has written extensively on her boycott. Additionally, here is an NPR interview with the woman herself.
To answer your question, I am not interested in killing thousands of innocent North Koreans, many of whom are good people, but rather the people who are enslaving, killing and torturing them, often for decades while wiping out whole family lines. I hope you aren't too sympathetic towards kim and the cabal surrounding the kims who perpetuate this mass and inane human slaughter but if you are in favor of it, not much else needs to be said. The problem is there are too many pieces of old artillary pointed towards Seoul and they can't all be neutralized at once. I would like for the suffering to stop for the NK people though if it ever becomes possible from an international standpoint. If you would like to learn more about what the North Korean people go through I highly recommend you read;

edit: fixed derpy stuff, also added kim himself into it because he is responsible as are his inner circle and the military. also added some links to books i've read that give perspective.
Buy the book they are from: "What the world eats" but D'Alusio/Menzel.. Brilliant.
If you're actually interested in Colvin's story, read Twice Toward Justice.
There and Now (Books 1 - 3) fits the bill;
