Murder is always tragic, no matter who is behind it. I think this murder is extra tragic because the death of Nemtsov is being used for political causes. Disrespectful.

Oh, come on. He was a politician, and whatever the murky details that will come to light are, his assassination is almost certainly a deeply political act.

It's as idiotic as saying "criticism of Bush for invading Iraq is clearly political" or "Republicans are opposing Obama for political reasons."
