Since ppl exaggerate individual cases to a generic form, i remain sceptical about "gang of 12 year old". not to say, it doesnt exists. everything is hyperbole on the internet.


I've lived in Sweden all my life. This is 100% real. These gangs have guns, knives, sometimes even hand grenades.


It’s quite common for migrant families to takes a few years off their kids age when they arrive, so they’ll adapt more easily, learnt the language and whatnot.


This makes sense to me, to change the birthdate, to get additional support. A lot of young people looking a tad older. But when crimes are reported, where do officials get the birthdates from? Or do they reporting most likelies?


This is of course a blatant lie. Anyone familiar with Sweden (or rational thought) will know this. But underlying for our international friends.

It's a bizarre lie, not the least because it so obviously does not hold up to even the most basic scrutiny.
