Of all the things NY’ers could be angry about, some have chosen to be angry about a statue of someone pretending to be Che Guevara.
The statue actually depicts a Barcelona street performer portraying Che, part of three bronze sculptures by Christian Janowski, which were recently installed by the Public Art Fund…
“I am always fascinated to see all the examples of how, I don’t know, foolish and ill-informed people are,” said a man who gave his name as Peter. “I’m a student of the idiocy of Che Guevara worship, and I bet 99 percent of the people who see this think, wow, that’s cool. But he was just a thug. A butcher.”
