Kid assassins in Sweden? Didn’t I read about this before?

Yes, I did! My informant was Harper’s Weekly Review. Who else would tell me about a Swedish…fad? movement? cult? involving teenage girls?

That was in September of this year. Now, December, Harper’s has an update, of sorts:

[I]n the latest in a spree of gangland attacks perpetrated by Swedish children, a twelve-year-old boy was detained for allegedly murdering the wrong man after being promised approximately $27,000 for the contract killing.

Girls are so much better at career management than are boys.
