Now we know that Putin considered his victim to be a scumbag.

My words, not Putin’s. But do read up on the guy; I’m sure you’ll concur. And the point of acknowledging that he was a scumbag was to prevent people defending Putin’s inaction by pointing out what a villainous wretch this guy was. It doesn’t matter. Government agents don’t get to decide who is a good guy and who is a bad guy, and kill the people they don’t like.
