“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.”
Considering Sweden has a right wing government all of this sounds extremely dangerous but not in terms of organized crime but in terms of building a police state. The language the police uses and the way they frame the data to justify the erosion of human rights reflects that of totalitarian regimes. This is deeply concerning.
