In murder of Putin's liberal opposition leader on the street, Russian police round up suspects



Like assassinated liberal journalist Anna Politkovskaya and the other liberals, whistleblowers or opposition figures murdered or attacked in Russia, they arrest the trigger men or the bombers but they never arrest who's behind the crime. Hmm I wonder why.

That's when the Russian government isn't blatantly getting rid of them, like Sergei Magnitsky.

Had to lean on the guy to get him to admit to the crime...Or if he really did.

Then again, the way Putin does things, he creates an environment where people feel free to commit such crimes like they do against the LGBT community where they kidnap LGBT individuals & video tape them being humiliated, raped with broken bottles & tortured in various ways then they post the videos online with NO FEAR OF PUNISHMENT! The same could have happened here except Putin arrested the guys responsible in order to literally KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE...Get rid of the most influential opposition leader & then Putin arrest those responsible as to appear to the ignorant Russian masses as if he was not responsible when he got EXACTLY what he wanted.

So glad I do not live in Putin's Russia...America has its problems but nothing like what the average Russian has to live under!
