The Assassination of William McKinley

The William McKinley assassination occurred on September 6, 1901, at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. United States President William McKinley, attending the Pan-American Exposition, was shot twice by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist. McKinley initially appeared to be recovering from his wounds, but took a turn for the worse six days after the shooting and died on September 14, 1901.

Thank goodness, the U.S. had a strong leader like Theodore Roosevelt, who took over and did a great job as president for almost 8 years.

@thefightmaster3000 Then why did he low blow the Philippines and turned on us during his presidency? Why did he colonize other countries like us? There's a long list of atrocities he committed, perhaps you should do the research.

@ThtOnePinoy if Mickinley was so evil as you claim, then why did people love him as a leader? God, do your research! Mckinley was a good man and a good president. >=(

@ninyae All that is negated by how such a scum and evil president Mckinley is, history tells us so, his assassination was justified.

A true hero. Too bad propaganda of the deed did no help to the movement.

The Rothschild/Jewish central banks have been the cronic enemy of our nation since before it's existence, and can be diagnosed as a potentially terminal disease...!?

McKinley was the protecter of the rich robber barrons. If he wouldn't have been killed Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't have become the youngest and 3rd best President of the USA. JFK was elected as the youngest, but Teddy was younger when McKinley died. Teddy Roosevelt was the opposite of McKinley and it's a shame not many movies are made about him. THE WIND AND THE LION is one great movie about an incident during his presidency. The late Brian Keith plays him and is great. Sean Connery is in it too.
