The article says a contractor was shot while responding to a water outage complaint in December 2024, and that mafias deliberately set municipal vehicles on fire. Which factor most clearly places this violence at the criminal end of the range of conduct, rather than just the unethical end?

Question

Answer

Impact, because the violence causes severe and irreversible harm which goes far beyond what can be considered merely unethical.
