It's sad but this scum still has another 20 years of life as he runs out his appeals while on death row. I prefer sure, swift and certain punishment. The man who tried to kill FDR in 1933 was executed 33 days later. His errant bullet killed the mayor of Chicago Anton Cermak who was in the motorcade.

The man who tried to kill FDR in 1933 was executed 33 days later.

With only 17 days passing between the death of Cermak and Zangara's execution.

Wow.

When Cermak died on 3rd March, Zangara was charged with murder and after being found guilty was sentenced to death in the electric chair at the Florida State Penitentiary. When he heard his sentence he yelled at the judge, "You give me electric chair. I no afraid of that chair! You're one of capitalists. You is crook man too. Put me in electric chair. I no care!" Guiseppe Zangara was executed on 20th March, 1933.
