An almost amusing sight at Fidel Castro's funeral procession: the car carrying his remains reportedly broke down and had to be pushed by soldiers.
The vehicle was reportedly Russian-built.
Pictures of the scene quickly spread on Twitter, with people calling it a "fitting metaphor" for the Castro regime:

How fitting: The jeep carrying Fidel Castro's ashes broke down and soldiers had to push it the rest of the way to the cemetery. #castrodeath pic.twitter.com/KodjTHWgRt— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) December 4, 2016

After Castro passed away on November 25, many Cuban refugees (and their families) living in the United States celebrated the occasion with hopes that Cuba could one day be freed completely.
My bet is that Fido died years ago and Raul was playing Weekend at Bernie's to keep himself in power.
How utterly appropriate. And yet I’m sure somehow he was relieved for the delay on the way to final judgement.
Sweeet!
The Stalin of the Caribbean had to be pushed thru the wheelchair access to Hell.
But they have the best health care in the world!
LOL
God disses on this despot, disgusting dictator!!! End of story!!! God bless the Cuban people!!! With Trump as the “boss” man, in the USA....freedom, liberty & opportunity is insight for millions of Cubans living under the tryanny of the Satan Castro brothers!!!
No photo..?
If not, you KNOW it’s cuz the lackeys UNDERSTOOD the symbolism immediately and fanned out, terrorizing the crowd for potential photos.
Hehehe!
The irony......
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3501339/posts has photos of the soldiers pushing it
Didn't really pay attention to it, so maybe they swarmed it for another reason.
So, it had to be pushed to the municipal dump???
Down goes Castro... Down goes Castro... Down goes Castro!!!
JFK and Jackie O are smiling down from ...wherever they arr
Reminds me of the old Irish “And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead”
