Down town Manhattan on the east side is a building named Red Square. On the roof that you can see from the street is a statue of V. I. Lenin. So if some knuckle heads wanted to petition to have a Che statue in central park, I wouldn’t be surprised. Lot of idiots living in Manhattan.
That’s a private building, you can put up any junk on private property and if it’s not totally visually or noise-level irratating the owner gets to keep it. But a public park has to have standards, and should not put up statues to proven murderers.
“Down town Manhattan on the east side is a building named Red Square.”
And I’ll bet that in that case, “red” doesn’t mean conservative Republican.
Lenin himself published pamphlets instructing his followers how to murder police. One particularly gruesome pamphlet involved the use of acid as a murder weapon.
