Bamaro · Feb 27, 2015

MOSCOW — A prominent Russian opposition leader, Boris Y. Nemtsov, was shot dead in central Moscow late Friday night within sight of the Kremlin walls.
The murder of Mr. Nemtsov, 55, a first deputy prime minister under Boris N. Yeltsin who later helped organize opposition demonstrations against President Vladimir V. Putin, was confirmed by Russia’s Interior Ministry shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday.
The attack came less than two days before Mr. Nemtsov was to lead another mass rally against Mr. Putin. The rally’s organizers put out a statement of purpose earlier denouncing Mr. Putin for the country’s growing economic crisis and its part in the war in Ukraine.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Shocking!

You half expected to find him dead at home, having thrown himself onto a knife nineteen times.

Well, if the gloves weren't off before, they are now. It's a true gangster regime - Palermo of the North. There are many people who are dependent on Putin's good will who would have independent reasons to put him away, but this would never have been done without Putin's direct approval...

Wow, isn't that just peachy.

It's ok. He rides horses bare-chested.

I heard he wrestled a bear.

This is not good. It raises the stakes inside Russia. The term terrorism was coined there in the late 1800s.

See, Hillary, this is how you Vince Foster somebody. Send a message loud and clear; don't be coy.

Regardless of how bad our nation gets, I never think we approach this. So glad I was born here where I can hurl insults at Obama all I want.
