Fifty-five years ago this week, Ernesto "Che" Guevara got a major dose of his own medicine. Without trial he was declared a murderer, stood against a wall and shot. If the saying "What goes around comes around" ever fit, it's here.
"When you saw the beaming look on Che's face as his victims were tied to the stake and blasted apart by the firing squad," said a former Cuban political prisoner to this writer, "you saw there was something seriously, seriously wrong with Che Guevara."
As commander of the La Cabana execution yard, Che often shattered the skull of the condemned man (or boy) by firing the coup de grace himself. When other duties tore him away from his beloved execution yard, he consoled himself by viewing the slaughter. Che's second-story office in La Cabana had a section of wall torn out so he could watch his darling firing-squads at work.
A Romanian journalist named Stefan Bacie visited Cuba in early 1959 and was fortunate enough to get an audience with the already quasi-famous "Che" Guevara. Upon entering Castro's chief executioner's office, Bacie noticed Che motioning him over to the office's newly constructed window. Bacie got there just in time to hear the command of FUEGO! and see a condemned prisoner crumple and convulse.
The stricken journalist immediately left and composed a poem, titled, "I No Longer Sing of Che." ("I no longer sing of Che any more than I would of Stalin," go the first lines.)

I need a t-shirt with the iconic pic of this dirtbag commie’s grinning mug being held up by his executioners.
Democrats saddened
Try che-mart
I remember that several months before he was captured and shot, the CIA declared Che and General Giap both dead.
Then both popped up very much alive.
So much for the CIA intelligence.
Sorry I just checked... Che mart is out of business
Well, if someone is in hiding and you want a clue — tell his pinhead followers that he is dead.
Thanks, that version of the picture is one of my favorites.
General Giap:
Died October 4, 2013, 108 Military Central Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam
Born: 1912 Vietnam
Died: October 4, 2013 (aged 101) Hanoi Vietnam
i like it!
I only wish it were me who gave the news to Che that he would not be turned over to the Americans and safety ...
I don't think these Americans had his best interests at heart.
Regardless, he would have stayed alive until his natural death.
Let us honor great men-Pappy Shelton a true American hero who was both a brave man and an humble one (the latter is very rare,compare Shelton with Robin Olds).
Che Guevara plus Butch and Sundance prove one thing. Don’t f-— with the Bolivian Army.
He gave his life for T-shirts.
Fidel hated Che but after his death, Fidel decided never let a useful idiot go to waste.
I love this gif!
Mario Teran did nothing wrong...
