“I had a case involving a 15-year-old girl recruited to shoot someone in the head,” Stockholm prosecutor Ida Arnell told AFP. “She was able to choose the type of mission she wanted, in other words, to aim at the guy’s door or his head. She chose the head.”

    Some context not in the article

    Some 280 girls aged between 15 and 17 were charged with murder, manslaughter or other violent crimes last year

    That “other violent crimes” appears to do some very heavy lifting. There are about 40 deaths a year in total in the criminal mileu. Unless I’m interpreting the data wrong

    [Gangs] are even reported to have infiltrated Sweden’s welfare sector, local politics, legal and education systems, and juvenile detention care.

    Yes, because liberals and conservatives sold everything. They sold it to friends, family, donors, who in turn sell it to gangs.

    The Swedish government has proposed new legislation that would allow police to wiretap children under the age of 15 in an attempt to curb the violence

    Not only that, children will also now be going to prison in Sweden.

    […] on encrypted messaging sites.

    Ah, yes. The head of the Swedish police said in an interview the other day that Signal have no other use than recruiting for assassinations. If you see someone using it, you should call the police.

      Please do. And stress that you are concerned because politicians told you so

      Also:

      She was arrested with a 17-year-old male accomplice, who pulled the trigger

      The big example they have and the girl wasn’t even the one who did it.

      That’s because it’s just more right wing propaganda to keep turning Sweden increasingly fascist.

      And they’ve been working hard to import that shit to Finland. Fuck Sweden.
