"The most 2017 assassin ever."
As if the mysterious murder of Kim Jong Nam, the older half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was not unsettling enough...
On Wednesday, a CCTV still showed the alleged killer of Kim Jong Nam wearing long-sleeve shirt with "LOL" on it.

(Although circumstances around the murder are still unclear and completely shrouded in mystery.)
Folks were like, "well, fuck." If this is not some next-level shit.
There's cold, there's ice-cold, and then there's assassinating someone while wearing a shirt that says LOL.

Although someone thought "LOL" was a bit played-out...which only made it all the more fitting.
How you know Kim Jong-nam was assassinated by North Korea: killer only had access to outdated memes.
Chelsea Peretti thought this was simply the "scariest shirt" someone on their way to an assassination could wear.

The jokes then devolved into wildly inappropriate — but hilarious — territory. People called the alleged killer "goals."

This terrifying saga does make for a great YA novel.
So the N Kor assassin is a petite woman wearing an LOL shirt & wielding a syringe of poison. A dozen YA writers started new books today.
Minus all the murder-y stuff.
@GioCBS this is the greatest story ever told. Except for the death part
