[ShananagansOnYou]

[illinimarine7]

[theguywhoiswierd]

This is incredible.

[eric5906]

Wonderful. So great to see a tyrant taken out. Screw the bluebellies. thank you Mr. Booth. Wish you'd killed that monster sooner. Sic Semper Tyrannis.

@eric5906 Get fucked you knuckle dragging half wit.

[eric5906]

@ominousinc : hahahaha. I would've loved to see Abe get popped myself. He would've saved hundreds of thousands of lives. I'm gonna wash yer mouth out with soap you potty mouth.

[punchyouintheneck]

She is a terrible presenter. I'd be mad if I went all the way there and she was the one who gave the presentation.

[visor109]

Did the play "Our American Cousin" still run at Ford's Theater after the assassination?

[kyragtopgirl]

@visor109 According to Ford's Theater, it closed and if it hadn't been for Union Troops guarding it, the theater would have been burned down.

[visor109]

@kyragtopgirl Interesting! Thanks for the info!

[gamefan1997]

I went there during my Washington DC trip.

[bieberfever1012555]

i love fords theater i have been there and they have is outfit and everything there even his pillow and they even have the gun that he was shot with

[mcloud151]

Hey has anyone noticed that Lincoln was shot in the fords theater and JFK was shot in a Ford car freaky.

[TheSecondEvolution]

@mcloud151 Trippy!

[JENDALL714]

@mcloud151 not only was JFK shot in a Ford but a Lincoln Continental!

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

@mcloud151

It goes further than that. Much further. Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled to a warehouse. Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theater. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy and Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln. Elected to Congress exactly 100 years apart. Elected to the Presidency exactly 100 years apart. Booth and Oswald born exactly 100 years apart. Both shot in the head. Both shot on a Friday. Both succeeded by a Johnson, born exactly 100 years apart.

[Dogheadj]

@mcloud151 JFK was shot in a Lincoln, no less!

[Jay4P]

@mcloud151 also the car was a Ford Lincoln... o___o

[macksun]

point being.. anyone can get got.

[69salford69]

Is Ford, Henry Ford?

[XRosyBladeAlchemyX]

@69salford69 no, ford was about two years old when lincoln was shot, making the theater even older.

[HGM1138]

@69salford69 John T. Ford was the owner, and his two brothers, Harry Clay Ford, and James Ford were co-managers.

[SuperGraceland]

where was lincolns body gaurds?

[GreyLittleKitten]

down the street in a bar, the idiot...

[historyeducator]

I believe that he told his bodyguard earlier that day to go home and rest for the evening because he was feeling good that day. (That is according to a book I just read "

[SageofHistory]

@SuperGraceland Lincoln turned down a heavy body guard for the evening. He retained only one man to guard the box: John Frederick Parker. Parker slipped away from his post in the middle of the play to visit a local tavern with a friend. Whether or not Lincoln gave Parker leave to do so remains a subject of debate.

[rainbowgirl678]

@SuperGraceland off getting drunk!

[tomjones1973]

Wow! Can she be more monotone?!

[OUTLAWZPRODUCTIONZ]

@tomjones1973

[MichoRizzo44]

@tomjones1973 It reminds me of: "you're listening to N.P.R., National Public Radio...." =P

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

@tomjones1973

I think she has a very soothing voice. She should have been a psychologist.

[dotsona07]

The President should have had someone protecting that door
