Would someone about to be a part of something so heinous as killing a president be so careless as to make remarks like thes attributed to Johnson? Or was Johnson such a callous, sociopathic braggart as to not care and not fear any consequences from his involvement?
Option B . The guy was a megalomaniac.
“..was Johnson such a callous, sociopathic braggart as to not care and not fear any consequences from his involvement?...”
He was DEFINITELY all that and then some!!!
As a earlier poster said; “He made Bill Clinton look like a choir boy”.
FWIW, it happened on my 13th birthday....I’ll never forget it.
All our female school teachers were crying, and they sent us home early without telling us what was going on. When I finally got home, I saw a half-decorated birthday cake sitting on the kitchen counter with a frosting-covered spatula laying on the kitchen floor. My mother was in the living room kneeling in front our old B&W TV with the volume sky-high watching all the news balling her eyes out. No one else had made it home yet. I remember asking her: “What’s going on?” In my mind, my immediate first thought was the Russians dropped a nuke on us as we were constantly having the “under the desk” nuke drills at school.
As she stood up and told me what happened, she grabbed/hugged me sobbing her heart out.... I remember how hot and damp she felt when she hugged me. Apparently, she’d been crying for some time. I had to get away from it all. I remember going back outside the house to the backyard and just standing there, physically shaking.
Tragic...no other way to describe It.
