Fugitives Love Communism - Flee U.S. For Cuba

J.J. Jackson* | May 14, 2007

Just a heads up about what I’ve always said that only criminals see Cuba as a better place to be than the United States. Of course Cuba is better for them if they are seeking to avoid justice:

HAVANA: These are uneasy times for a man on the lam in Havana.

Charlie Hill, an accused murderer and admitted hijacker, has lived 36 years as a fugitive of U.S. justice. With the Cuban government providing him an offshore haven, he has managed to live a life beyond the reach of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

But the years are catching up with him. Some of his fellow fugitives have died recently, forcing Hill, a 57-year-old grandfather whose hair, once a black Afro, is now closely cropped and grey, to confront his own mortality.

Inextricably linked with his fate is that of his patron, Fidel Castro, who is 80 and in failing health. For obvious reasons, Hill and other fugitives who have long been protected by Castro are hoping for the longtime leader’s recuperation and for a continuation of the Communist government that has long butted heads with Washington.

Now just remember and compare this to people that flee Cuba to escape an authoritarian, communist state. Says a lot about what country is better eh?
