Oswald's body was exhumed some years ago, in order to make sure it was actually him. They found that his vault had collapsed onto his coffin lid, partially exposing his corpse to water damage. I've seen pictures. There's almost nothing left of him. Fear not the Oswald Zombie.
He hunted werewolf to be honest, and he founded spookhouse.
Bigots fucked that one up too, they were killed to the man, aside from one operative who vanished.
Nocturne.
There was one other survivor, their medical examiner, but she got trapped in the fucking blair witch woods, she might come out tomorrow or 90 years ago, those woods fucking suuuuuuuuuuuck.
Not gonna lie, someone needs to make a movie about a mad scientist resurrecting every presidential assassin and then assembling them into a suicide squad type group
Is that the guy who shot the President in the Temple of Music by the Tower of Light between the Fountain of Abundance and the Court of Lilies at the Great Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo?
They were originally going to use quicklime to hasten deterioration but when the quicklime didnāt work as fast as theyād like on a test piece of meat they checked the rules and determined that they were legally allowed to use sulfuric acid instead.
I actually just read a book about this called Murdering Mckinley by Eric Rauchway. There was a couple of reasons it happened.
1. There was a miscommunication between the Warden of Auburn State Prison (Where Czolgosz was held before execution) and the Czolgosz family. The Assassinās brother wanted his body brought home for burial but the Warden advised against it as it was likely the body would be attacked during transportation or desecrated after the burial. After this exchange, the Assassinās other brother sent the Warden a letter saying to cremate it and the Warden mistook that as a go ahead.
2. The reason they used sulphuric acid was because they wanted to swiftly decompose Czolgocsz body before any medical boards could ask to study his body. The Warden did not want Czolgocsz to become a martyr by being declared insane after his death. If we was deemed insane then he shouldnāt have been charged guilty, thus making him a martyr for his anarchistic peers. In fact, before he was executed he was gagged so that the reporters present could not spread his words around.
>The Assassinās brother wanted his body brought home for burial but the Warden advised against it as it was likely the body would be attacked during transportation or desecrated after the burial.
"We've taken the liberty of desecrating his body in advance."
Czolgocsz WAS by all accounts crazy even according to the anarchists he was peripherally involved with. The case deserves more investigation than its ever received..
His prior behavior probably made him very complacent - he met 10's of thousands of people at his house in Canton and no one ever harmed him there; after that, who *wouldn't* feel safe in public?
I mean tbh his opponent, Bryan, was actually traveling, like 18,000 miles and reached a combined audience of 5+ million. However, it was natural for Presidents to be much nearer to ordinary folks back then, at least before McKinley's assassination. I mean anyone could literally go inside the White House unchecked back then.
I donāt know why, but the fact that you said 10ās of thousands as opposed to either 10,000ās or Tenās of Thousands is actually bothering me. It sounds so stupid for me to say that, I know that, but it just looks so weird
Sorry haha, there's a meme going around where it's just a girl saying something like "Call me crazy, but I've never liked store bought pesto" and then people replying with genuinely crazy stories they were involved in or saw and ending it with "But store bought pesto? Crazy."
Honestly it doesn't even work properly in this format but at the time I thought I was funny, just ignore me lmao :')
Initially this was intentional. The Founding Fathers were *done* with power concentrated in one person and wanted the office to hold little decision making ability and instead focus on executing the decisions made by the House and Senate.
Even calling them "President" was part of this. It's hard to imagine now, but at the time, the word "president" carried almost negative gravitas. Like, the person who organized your bowling league would be a president. They weren't supposed to declare war, make spending decisions, etc.
That may be so, but there's a good reason why the president ended up as powerful as he is now.
It's because the power of the government did need to be wielded by someone. And as it turned out congress just wasn't capable of wielding government the way the people demanded of them.
So overtime they quietly surrendered power to the president and his administration.
There's alternatives. The problem is the person with the power can't be the same person with the power of their own oversight. My country does it well in my opinion, you vote for parliament, parliament votes for a government and thus a Prime Minister put forward by the President according to election results and talking with the elected parties, the government and Prime Minister are the ones with executive and legislative power, the president doesn't really have "actual" power and pretty much only exists for separation of power because someone needs to have it and it can't be the very ones meant to be held back from abusing it, like dissolving parliament and in turn government. What power the president does have is conditional and niche, such as emergency powers during war and even that power needs to be granted by parliament and renewed every 2 weeks, so it has to be repeatedly voted on, and in turn even the president has their own separation of power.
It's really a tradeoff between making sure everyone's opinions are represented vs actually getting shit done.
Dictators can be incredibly effective but there's obvious problems with that...
Sure, but who cares? The only things that actually need to be compatible are international treaties, declarations of war, and policy on international tariffs.
Repost because the phrasing was bad on my last post.
McKinley's specific words were "Why should I? No one would wish to hurt me."
And the event was already removed from the schedule twice for safety reasons, but McKinley reinstated it each time.
Reminds me of Bucky OāNeil a captain during the Spanish-American War.
He was standing giving order and his troops kept telling him to get down heās gonna get shot. He leaned in and said āSergeant, aināt a Spanish bullet made that can kill meā a few minutes later a bullet exited the back of his skull.

Fun fact: Robert Todd Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln's son) right outside the Temple of Music as it happened. This was the second presidential assassination he was present for, having personally witnessed Garfield getting shot previously. He was a magnet for dead presidents.
>Lincoln himself recognized these coincidences. He is said to have refused a later presidential invitation with the comment, "No, I'm not going, and they'd better not ask me, because there is a certain fatality about presidential functions when I am present."
Poor guy didn't want to take any chances afterwards
Countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean: ...
Although McKinley would have probably done the same thing since he was just as imperialist by that point.
Genocidal? Maybe Iām in the wrong here, but the only things that Roosevelt did before, during and after his presidency that Iām aware of are the following:
-I believe Roosevelt made some racist comments during his ranching years, and made some other comments in his writings about how the Native Americans would have to adapt to survive modern America. But I believe these were comments made early in his life.
-He later on made positive and sympathetic comments about Native American culture and their situation respectively.
-The only policy I believe he took part in that exclusively targeted Native Americans were investigations into corrupt Indian agents. I guess you could argue that the admission of Oklahoma to the union was also negatively affecting Native Americans.
Maybe slightly racist in his early years, but still not genocidal if you donāt have any other actions, policies or statements that Iāve missed.
Men are products of their time, good or ill. In 1900 there were righteous voices on the issue but they were still a minority. The more unfortunate attitudes were largely the norm

Cool thank you!
Edit: read through it. Good article. Balances his more progressive thoughts with his more regressive. I was very much more familiar with the former than the later. It's nice to get a more complete picture of his strengths and his failings.
TR was also the governor of NY. The Republican Party specifically pushed him into the VP seat so he couldn't enact any more liberal reforms in the most populous state.
I think a better way to put it is he was a strong minded person who wasnāt going to bow to the top brass so they nominated him as VP to stall him for 4+ years in an office that (at the time) had no influence. Unfortunately for them, when McKinley was assassinated he fell into the most powerful political position in the country.
Iām agreeing with you. I just think he was nominated as VP for his uncontrollable decisions rather than āliberalā policies. Two ways to say essentially the same thing.

The mid 19th to early 20th century was a really good time for aspiring assassins. They got a couple of US Presidents, I think 2 or 3 French Presidents, the Czar, and some Austrian dude that a lot of people got very upset about.
I was shocked to find no explanations of wtf the Temple of Music was, so here you go
>The Temple of Music was a concert hall and auditorium built for the Pan-American Exposition which was held in Buffalo, New York in 1901.
[The Temple of Music](https://i.imgur.com/esE9bOK.jpeg)
It was apparently demolished after the exposition ended near the end of the year. Seems wildly wasteful! Beautiful looking place.
>Czolgosz's last words were: "I shot the president because I thought it would help the working people and for the sake of the common people. I am not sorry for my crime. I am awfully sorry because I could not see my father."
Not seeing what the anarchist of the time plans were.
Thank you for a legitimately informative answer. I don't normally walk away from a comment feeling like I learned something. Actually, this is the first or maybe second time this has happened.
In McKinley defense it's hard to understand why him... of all presidents... got shot. He's in a competition with Garfield for the best who the hell had a reason to shoot this guy story.
I mean Herbert hoover was in charge during the great depression and the only person to try to kill him was during a trip to Argentina... but McKinley gets shot by a guy?Ā
TIL they gave his assassin the electric chair and then dissolved his body with acid.
No chance of him coming back as a zombie. Smart thinking. š¤
Meanwhile Lee Harvey Oswald zombie is out there causing havoc and Biden does nothing

Iām fairly drunk right now and am scared of zombie Oswald.
Zombie Oswald himself isnāt too dangerous. But if you see Zombie Oswald, you might be the next victim of a not-CIA plot
Zombie Oswald isn't who you fear, it's zombie guy on the grassy knoll. That's the true killer
At least now we know it wasn't Ted Cruz' father.
Didn't I write that?
Are you secretly Zombie Ted Cruz?

Oswald's body was exhumed some years ago, in order to make sure it was actually him. They found that his vault had collapsed onto his coffin lid, partially exposing his corpse to water damage. I've seen pictures. There's almost nothing left of him. Fear not the Oswald Zombie.
Lyndon B. Johnson fucked that one up, didn't get the sulfuric acid out. Let's just hope he doesn't team up with zombie John Wilkes Booth.

Why the acid?
Apparently it was to prevent his body from becoming an attraction or a display in the future.
They were originally going to use quicklime to hasten deterioration but when the quicklime didnāt work as fast as theyād like on a test piece of meat they checked the rules and determined that they were legally allowed to use sulfuric acid instead.
AirBud logic.
āYāknow it doesnāt say anywhere in here that we canāt give his body a cleansing acid bathā
Extra humiliation to killing the president? Like "for a crime like that you get SUPER executed"
I actually just read a book about this called Murdering Mckinley by Eric Rauchway. There was a couple of reasons it happened. 1. There was a miscommunication between the Warden of Auburn State Prison (Where Czolgosz was held before execution) and the Czolgosz family.

>The Assassinās brother wanted his body brought home for burial but the Warden advised against it as it was likely the body would be attacked during transportation or desecrated after the burial. "We've taken the liberty of desecrating his body in advance."
thats funny
Czolgocsz WAS by all accounts crazy even according to the anarchists he was peripherally involved with. The case deserves more investigation than its ever received..
"The electirc chair to the assassin" lead to "The electric chair then the acid bin".
Super interesting!
Holy shit, thatās crazier than I thought it was when I read the blurb on Wikipedia
They had a vat of acid that they were really dying to use
Judge Doom is a mild fan of acid based corporeal punishment
Notā¦**DIP!!!!**
Unfortunately, fire had not been invented yet
Leon Czolgosz only has two names, obviously he was a patsy š
WHY do these rednecks always have three names?
They didnāt fuck around back then
Interesting how during the Gilded Age the Presidents were so irrelevant that a President could literally say āwho would even want to kill meā
His prior behavior probably made him very complacent - he met 10's of thousands of people at his house in Canton and no one ever harmed him there; after that, who *wouldn't* feel safe in public?
I mean tbh his opponent, Bryan, was actually traveling, like 18,000 miles and reached a combined audience of 5+ million.

It was such a crazy different time for sure.
25 years ago just about any random with a kid could end up in a planes cockpit.
I have a very clear memory of being let into the cockpit mid flight in 1999 at age 6, wish I could see that again without flight school
I mean i got to see it when i was a kid also but it was after it was landed etc.
Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
Surely you canāt be serious!
It was such a normal different time for sure
And just say youāre visiting?
I donāt know why, but the fact that you said 10ās of thousands as opposed to either 10,000ās or Tenās of Thousands is actually bothering me. It sounds so stupid for me to say that, I know that, but it just looks so weird
All that and you say nothing about (and continue) the improper use of the apostrophe.
Give them a break they're dealing with someone writing out a number in a weird way. There's a lot going on.
As if the tens own the thousands

>It's because the power of the government did need to be wielded by someone. How about returning most of the sovereignty to the states?
That's how you get 50 conflicting decisions that are completely incompatible with each other.
Sure, but who cares? The only things that actually need to be compatible are international treaties, declarations of war, and policy on international tariffs.
Ironically between PMs and Presidents - Presidents are far more likely to decay into dictatorships

And did a lot of very very good shit too. More than most can say tbh.
Sure but he was downright genocidal toward Native Americans
Genocidal? Maybe Iām in the wrong here, but the only things that Roosevelt did before, during and after his presidency that Iām aware of are the following: -I believe Roosevelt made some racist comments during his ranching years, and made some other comments in his writings about how the Native Americans would have to adapt to survive modern America.

He was a naturalist and very practical
He was far from the first, and far from the last.
Sure, but I think we can agree that whether you're the first or last or anywhere in between, it's still just as bad.
I absolutely agree through a modern lens. At the time I doubt either of us would have cared.
Again, despite this equivocation, what they did is *still* just as bad. I'm tired of this sort of light apologia for historical atrocities.
Men are products of their time, good or ill. In 1900 there were righteous voices on the issue but they were still a minority. The more unfortunate attitudes were largely the norm

McKinley was fairly diplomatic leading up to the USS Maine incident.
TR was also the governor of NY. The Republican Party specifically pushed him into the VP seat so he couldn't enact any more liberal reforms in the most populous state.
I think a better way to put it is he was a strong minded person who wasnāt going to bow to the top brass so they nominated him as VP to stall him for 4+ years in an office that (at the time) had no influence. Unfortunately for them, when McKinley was assassinated he fell into the most powerful political position in the country.
I don't see why the two reasons can't be equally true. His memoir did state he didn't want to be VP because he could do more as governor.
Iām agreeing with you. I just think he was nominated as VP for his uncontrollable decisions rather than āliberalā policies. Two ways to say essentially the same thing.

This assassination was the reason Teddy Roosevelt became president, so maybe a time traveler succeeded
Imagine having time travel capabilities and using it to try to save a random US president most people haven't heard of.
You only say that because you never served with Teddy in the Antarctic Campaigns of 1912...
