President William McKinley believed in luck. He specifically believed in the luck brought by red carnations, which is why he wore one to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 1901. When a little girl asked him for the flower, the president gave it to her. Then, Leon Czolgosz shot McKinley in the abdomen

There is a big house on Delaware Ave on the northwest side of downtown Buffalo where they swore in Teddy Roosevelt.
My best friend lived in an apartment just down the street when he was going to college.
Also in the neighborhood was IMHO the best looking Frank Lloyd Wright house other than Falling Water in the country.
She looks nice.

Nope. You’re right.
Rachel Maddow’s great great granny?
I believe it took McKinley more than a week to die. TR was to attend a speaking engagement in New York and was then to explore parts of the state. He was informed that the President had been shot but would live. Owing to lousy medical care that did not happen. When the President took a turn for the worse, TR rushed to his side, but arrived too late.

...Czolgosz shot him twice in the abdomen.
âI would have fired more,â Czolgosz later confessed, âbut I was stunned by a blow in the face.â
The blow came from an African-American waiter named James Parker, who reacted faster than McKinleyâs guards to the gunfire. As the rest of the crowd turned on Czolgosz, McKinley instructed them not to hurt the âpoor misguided fellow,â according to PBS. He then told his secretary, âMy wife, be careful⊠how you tell her, oh be careful.â...
Goldman, who died in 1940, was among a vocal anti-war group who advocated for socialist reforms, organized labor, sexual freedoms, atheism and anarchy.
Deported to Russia with several other opponents of U.S. involvement in World War I, she was played by Maureen Stapleton in the 1981 film “Reds.”

From the Lincoln News Messenger, Lincoln, Ca:
Emma Goldman, the alleged writer of the letter, died in 1940 and was by all accounts a Jewish anarchist.
According to historical accounts Goldman was born in a Jewish ghetto in 1869. In 1892, together with Alexander Berkman, she planned the assassination of Henry Clay Finch, who suppressed strikes in the Homestead Pennsylvania factory with armed guards. Goldman and Beckman believed that by killing a tyrant, a representative of a cruel system, the consciousness of the people would be aroused.
Anarchism is defined by Merriam-Webster’s as a “political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups.”
I wish I could remember the documentary about his assassination. His killer was some kook who wanted a job. It was before real security for presidents. And there were some guys that invented the first metal detectors that found the bullet in his gut but “doctors” at the time didn’t believe such sorcery and dug around on the wrong side of his abdomen basically killing him more that the bullet did.

The assassin was hanged not long after, not thirty years later.
Shot the President on on September 6, 1901.
Executed by the State of New York seven weeks later on October 29, 1901.
Italian and American police suspected Czolgosz was tied to L’Era Nuova (New Era), the same anarchist group as Gaetano Bresci, assassin of Italian King Umberto I. Bresci had been involved with this group and related groups such as Gruppo Diritto all’Esistenza (Right to an Existence Group) in Paterson, New Jersey, which was a center of the anarchist movement and became an active center for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), one of the predecessors of the future Communist Party USA.
