(21,640 posts)is stupid enough to just outright have an opponent gunned down in the streets. He is conniving and scheming, not savage. I would think this is more likely some crazed person acting out for the what they believe is the best for Russia, probably brainwashed by all the Putin ordered propaganda they see on TV, like the teahadists here that went on the cop killing spree.
Just my wild speculation, I don't actually know anything!

We know Putin has no quams about this kind of thing, and he is prone to act, (see; Ukraine)
My guts say it's him.

(45,851 posts)I'd be thinking that killing another rival in a way to make it look like Putin was the culprit would be a move to stifle all the other rivals, make Putin look like crap and flat out eliminate another rival.
