Be my guest.

[Che Guevara],,,was one of the 20th Century’s Great Unhanged Villains. He met a suitably sticky demise, but perhaps they should have made it slightly stickier. Machine-gunning him was a kindness he could have been spared

Well Che ought to count his blessings (assuming he's in a place where he can), that he didn't check out like one of his ideological ancestors, the infamous Leon Trotsky:
Last photo of Trotsky, after an ice pick to the head on orders of Uncle Joe Stalin himself in 1940.

Albert Pierrepont. Famous British hangman. Amongst many others, he hanged over eighty Nazis as a result of the Nurnberg trials after WW-II.

When he wasn’t hanging people, he was a publican. IIRC he one day had the dubious pleasure of hanging one of his regulars.

I’m enlightened.
