      A pity he didn't live for another 130ish years. Then he could have put the blame squarely where it belonged: On Obama. Thanks Obama. It was all your fault, all along.

    Shot by Guiteau, but killed by his doctors. The autopsy showed there was already a protective cyst being formed around the bullet, but they worried more about the non-threat of "lead poisoning" than they did about their absolutely filthy surgical practices. Besides the insanity plea, I think the defense attorney went for the killed-by-doctors angle, too.

      He was also nearby when McKinley got iced as well. 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." Although, that wasn't a firm policy, there's quite a nice picture of him, Chief Justice (and former President) Taft and President Harding at the opening of the Lincoln Memorial.

    Guiteau is one of the most interesting characters in the Sondheim musical Assassins, which is about everyone who ever attempted or succeeded in assassinating a U.S president. Guiteau is framed as comic relief the entire show, but then he’s one of four who actually succeeded. His song, “The Ballad of Guiteau,” has this both creepy and optimistic vibe at the same time, and if you’re into American history and/or theater I really suggest you check it out!

    • @TheAlexSchmidt
      @TheAlexSchmidt Рік тому +75

      Almost everyone, Sondheim left out the would-be assassins of Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Truman. Although it's still a neat musical. Now that John Hinckley's out of the asylum and posting songs to UA-cam I wonder what he thinks of the songs Sondheim wrote for him? Although I feel like to avoid legal trouble he probably shouldn't bring it up.

      That's because you merely adopted the beard. He was born with it, molded by it. Guiteau didn't see a razor until he was already a man; by then, it was nothing but manscaping! The beard betrays you, because it belongs to him. I wonder, what will break first? Your stubble? Or your spirit?

    I know I’m super late on this cuz I just got into Sam’s videos but the other assisination was probably president McKinley by Leon Czolgosz. (Just as a disclaimer I got all my info on Wikipedia which “isn’t a credible source” but sue me)
    - was a polish American born in may 1873
    - mom died at 10 during child birth
    - became a factory worker at 17
    - economic hardships pushed him to Catholic Church
    - went to live with dad on a big farm
    - did fuck all to help with maintaining farm
    - fought with step mom about religion
    - left his dad to become a recluse
    - became a socialist
    - then became an anarchist
    - found out about an assassination on an Italian leader
    - thought “that’s not a half bad idea, this’ll solve all of my economic problems and help the country. I’m such a noble guy”
    - went to the pan American exposition in Buffalo ny (my home town :) ) in 1901
    - bought a pistol
    - just walked up to the president and shot him twice (first shot ricocheted off his jacket button and second was non fatal gut shot)
    - just like Garfield they examined the president and expedited the infection
    - Leon was tried days after the president died
    - defense tried to claim insanity but it was denied because he put so much work into making sure the pistol worked and was properly concealed during the assassination. They said no insane man would commit murder in such a public place knowing that they would be caught
    - convicted of first degree murder
    - had two visits before getting the electric chair; first his father Fudzinski and Father Hickey went to see him but was refused twice before being let to him. They brought being a clergy man early in the day who pleaded with him for 45 min to repent but he refused.
    - the other was with his brother and brother in law who asked him why he did it to which he said “No one. Nobody had anything to do with it but me." They didn’t think this was like him and it’s not how he was raised so they asked if he wanted the preacher to come back. When asked he said "No, damn them. Don't send them here again. I don't want them," and "Don't you have any praying over me when I am dead. I don't want it. I don't want any of their damned religion."
    - was sent to the chair where his last words were “I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people - the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime. I am sorry I could not see my father." (Presumably talking about his biological father idk how these two “fathers” were related to him but it’s probably some fucky Wikipedia shit)
    - got three shocks and died
    - brothers were at execution and wanted to take the body but were deterred because the people performing the execution said “the crowd wouldn’t let them leave the building with the body or else they would get mobbed and hav ethe body stolen presumably to be horribly defiled Mussolini style
    - the authorities autopsied him and found that he was super unhealthy and had gross STD warts on his junk
    - they planned to burry him in the prison but wanted to decompose the body quickly so nobody could dig him up and worship him
    - the authorities looked at him body and was like “hey this quicklime stuff works great at decomposing flesh (as seen with this piece of meat we tested it in earlier) and we’re legally allowed to use as much of it as we want but you know what is even better at dissolving stuff? Sulfuric acid. So they dumped a vat of acid on him horribly disfiguring his corpse and after 12 hours was completely melted. They then burned his cloths and called it a day.
    - after his death an anarchist writer was accused of helping the assassination but was let go to insufficient evidence
    - she wrote saying that McKinley was a “President of money kings and trust magnates” in an article called “ The Tragedy of Buffalo” but it was tossed aside because the whole anarchist movement was tarnished by Leon’s actions
    - Leon was “buried” in Cayuga county NY in an unmarked grave with only writing being “Fort Hill Remains"
    I doubt anybody actually read through all that but it was a fun way to add what I can to the void that is UA-cam comments (on a video that’s 2+ years old (I don’t want to check exactly cuz then I’d have to delete this mini thesis)). Thanks to whoever got this far and if you want to read more about it there’s a horribly boring book I had to read in highschool about all this called “Devil in the White City” which is split between H.H. Holmes’s story (the actual interesting part of the book) and the American exposition which leads into Leon’s story. Alright now time to work on finals shit :))))))))))))))))))) (I want to die)
    Edit (“literally” 20 seconds after posting) I probably didn’t get all the information and probably got shit wrong. If I willfully wanted to spread misinformation I’d go back to before Twitter blue was canceled. I did the best a half hour of reading could do.

People are going to be affected differently and be at different levels of adjustment when it comes to abuse even if it is by the same person(and even then we don’t even know if his alive siblings were abused). The point being made here is that he probably wouldn’t have turned out the way he did if he wasn’t abused. Obviously that doesn’t justify the things that he did but my point still stands.

    It actually doesn’t take much. Even something like narcissistic abuse with gaslighting being heavily involved in that is enough to make you feel like you’re always doing something wrong. Constantly wanting to seek approval and praise from others that you’re doing a good job. And you don’t need physical violence to get to that point of feeling like you’re worthless and need for other people to acknowledge that you’re doing something right. That’s the scary thing. It could be the most subtle thing like back handed compliments. That being used again and again, especially in front of other people, is enough to get you to doubt yourself enough to the point where you feel like you’re worthless

      Fun fact, Benjamin Franklin wrote to a male acquaintance that he should bang older women instead of younger ones.
      “...in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:
      1. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor'd with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreable.
      2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.
      3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience.
      4. Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin'd to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.
      5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one.

Guiteau and then using his toenail (i forgot how she got it but seeing as stan somehow had garfields dna i guess its just tv logic) to revive him and he successfully finds and hunts garfield but is then stopped by stan and hayley

    Fun fact: while Garfield was still alive after the shooting, they recruited Alexander Graham Bell to help, after he had offered to test his prototype of an X-ray machine by finding the bullets lodged in the President’s body. Unfortunately, this was the 1800s when people put those horrible metal spring coil things in their mattresses, including Garfield’s bed, meaning the machine just buzzed constantly no matter where Bell tried it. Bell never forgave himself for the incident and gave up on perfecting the X-ray, thus delaying its development for a couple of decades.

    Also, the bulletwound in Garfield’s back was not fatal at all, but the doctors kept poking the hole over and over to find the bullet, and they opened a 12 inch long hole in his back in the wrong direction. When it got infected, the doctors thought the pus that formed around was a signed of healing and they started to cut into the wound and make it larger to stick a hose and suck the pus out. Though the hose also sucked out parts of his rib too! They also decided to not give him food and instead feed him rectally for the second half of the “treatment”. The infection got so bad one side of his face was completely paralyzed
