Message to Z gringos?

Every person here I have spoken to here say the same thing you have posted. Some a little stronger in language than the message you have written.

The longer I live here, the crazier the people in power here become. It is certainly not a welcoming statue for anyone. People who are a little leary of traveling here in the first place will definitely not understand the reasoning for the statue, whether the young man was a hero or not. (I did know the history)

Knowing the history should make the statue even more offensive to many of our gringo visitors, since technically he's supposed to be shooting gringos.

I love history more than most folks, but this is the WRONG message and the WRONG place for this statue!
