You're never too young to start killing people...
It’s not uncommon to find crime anywhere in the world, but it is uncommon to find it so cheap! Today’s AM Costa Rica front page article is about 2 young men, 16 and 17, who are professional (well, experienced) hitmen.
In Costa Rica you can have someone Killed for $350
This is a serious post. You want to be careful who you mess with in Costa Rica, because after a long night of drinking you could say the wrong thing to a couple teenagers.
Next thing you know you’re dead
From the online newspaper this morning;
The allegations Thursday were that the two youngsters, 16 and 17, had offered their services for about 200,000 colons to eliminate individuals on behalf of others. That is about $350.
Business is Good
Currently the teenagers are linked to 6 murders, 1 attempted murder and some robberies. But it seems the robberies may have just been a cover. During one of the contract killings the teens left a house without robbing it; leaving $37,000 in cash.
investigators found a box with $37,000 in cash in his home after the killing.
Who knows; maybe the kids are just stupid and didn’t know the cash was there, but I think they are just not too worried about making more money.

Wow. Nice picture.
As much as I used to write about it, I can’t imagine actually killing someone. It’s just a place in my head where I can take myself out of the equation. Strangely enough, I don’t think I would ever be able to do it without feeling an incredible amount of guilt.
So then $350 isn’t enough for you? :~D
You know, it’s funny I thought about you when I found that picture on Flickr
