Mess with the bull you get the horns; mess with the Judo Guy you get the mat or possibly a pine box:

Val’s most formidable opponent, former Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov was shot and killed the other day in Moscow. As he walked across the street with his lady, a car pulled behind them and shot Boris in the back 4 times.

Could be Val didn’t like the guy because he had more hair than the old boy.

Mirror – mirror on the wall; who is the baddest cat of all??

Officials are viewing a video that filmed the shooting. Between you – me and a bottle of Vodka, how hard are they really trying to solve the crime.

Governments’ and politicians across the pond have a little different ways of doing business than here in the USA; thank goodness. Although it is not out of the question that similar incidents have happened in the USA, we seem to have a little more humane way in dealing with obstacles in our lives.

We have a different way of trying to turn the tide against people in positions of power that we feel are not performing their jobs as they should. Our weapons of choice are the power of the pen and expressing our freedom of speech.

For as many shortcoming the USA has, freedom is by far the most important liberty we have.  It encompasses a magnitude of different scenarios.

Val, the Judo Guy said he was going to jump right into the investigation with both feet in an attempt to find out who was behind the killing of his most vocal antagonist. Swamp land still for sale.

Eliminating the competition is nothing new in Russia. According to statistics most probably Putin is one of the more passive dictators in their history.

Joseph Stalin has the infamous distinction of being the elimination leader of the pack. It is estimated that he killed somewhere in the neighborhood of 49 million people during his reign of terror, if not more. If those figures are accurate, Stalin killed triple or quadruple the people that were killed in the Holocaust.

Through the years many revolutionaries that went against the grain in Russia came to an untimely death.

One of their tools of the trade to take out their adversaries was an umbrella that shots poison darts. It got so bad at one time and people became so paranoid that when it rain half of the population in Moscow stayed home.

Georgi Markov was another of the dissidents in Russia that came to his demise because he spoke up.

With all of the twists, turns and dissention we have with our government; for the most part we do not have to fear any repercussions for speaking our minds.  Let’s keep it that way.
