if they had just shot him in the head in private it would have been awful business as usual but there was no practical reason to saw him to pieces while he was alive except to make him suffer it was expected to be *private*, they couldnt expect to even send a message

maybe what I mean/think/feel is that the horrors of the 20th century that we're half accustomed to are mechanical and institutionalized this seems like an older kind of crime

it kinda /does/ check off most of the common explicitly-listed aggravating circumstances for murder -- it was not only premeditated but carried out by lying in wait, and both poison and torture were used on the victim :(
-
(given those lists of aggravating circumstances were created as lists of what would make a homicide so utterly *heinous* that society would see it OK to kill (with premeditation, even!) the one who did the killing, it does make sense that you find this particularly upsetting)
-
(that it happened in a consulate is also gruesome; the worst that's expected to happen in embassies/consulates is usually like...espionage and SIGINT (which afaict is tolerated because everyone does it to everyone else and everyone knows it), not fucking wetwork)

yeah it feels like some kind of violation of xenia, to which zeus xenios himself must respond
