Well, a better way to "nip it in the bud" might be to just shoot him, rather than - putting 2 bullets into the head of his wife, and 2 bullets into the head of his mother ( or mother in law), and a bullet into his 7 year old daughter, followed by a pistolwhipping , and 5 bullets into a passing french cyclist - Speculating wildly, as I suppose we are all prone to do from time to time, I would be a bit miffed, were I head of secret services, and the field agents were as spectacularly messy as they seem to have been....
