A tale baited well past the breaking point, but the best illustrations I've seen on a short piece.

Tl,dr: an obscure tale of hanged nihilists (who had planned murder) was read by a hanged nihilist who managed a successful murder - but "ironically, the man who did the shooting, Gavrilo Princip, could not be executed because, at nineteen, he was under age for this punishment."

(In other news, the propounders of "sic semper tyrannis" disclaimed any responsability, explaining that they mean to murder only tyrants on an officialy approved list, who really deserve it and whose death will have no harmful consequences.)



Princip ended up being killing in prison soon after, tho.
