Che's Trail

[fernando]

And now Che has a few new last words:

When one of his executioners hesitated to pull the trigger of his rifle, Guevara reportedly yelled, "Shoot! Don't be afraid."

<_<

[Vallegrande]

I thought it was "Shoot. You&#39;re only going to kill a man." but then again I wasn&#39;t there. He could have said a lot of things before that drunk bastard pulled the trigger.

[fernando]

Well the cappies propagandate that Che said: "dont shoot, Im Che Guevara, Im more usefull to you alive than dead"

But yah..new versions keep popping up

[NovelGentry]

He said the "I&#39;m worth more alive than dead" thing when he was first captured, not when they came ot kill him after he was captured.

[fernando]

Why would he say that? Sounds like he would have betrayed the Revolution for his own life <_<

Maybe because he knew that if he could convince them not to kill him he&#39;d be able to fight another day.

No but they say that these were his last words, not his words when he just got captured.

Apparently the man who killed Guevara still lives somewhere and tells his story in a bar only if you give him money. I only read this out of the book "Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life." And I guess he is still on the run from people who want to kill him ever since he executed Guevara.

[fernando]

You mean Mario Teran? They wanted to interview him in the documentary Sacrificio...but he asked like 10.000 (or was it 100.000) dollars to get interviewed...without camera, but yah he was going to write a book or something

[Vallegrande]

Thats the name now that I remember. What a scoundrel I say. Because I bet he took something of Guevara&#39;s along with the others after the execution. Just to share a brief history from his side for money is degrading. Maybe he wants to get away with money so he doesn&#39;t get hunted down. All those people who participated in Che&#39;s death have either been assassinated or are on the run still.
