Castro was a mass murderer

President Obama said this about the death of Fidel Castro: “History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular character.”

And I say “Fidel Castro was a mass murderer who ordered the killing of thousands of innocent Cubans, in order to scare and control the

rest of the Cuban population.”

He had a peaceful death, but in his final days he should have experienced a lot of suffering; he should have been dragged through the streets of Havana, like Mussolini in Italy, and then hanged.
