President Garfield's Secretary of State: leave me alone you poopybutt! Guiteau: Curse you Garfieeeeelllllddddd!!!! A pity he didn't live for another 130ish years. Then he could have put the blame squarely where it belonged: On Obama. Thanks Obama. It was all your fault, all along.
That's because you merely adopted the beard. He was born with it, molded by it. Guiteau didn't see a razor until he was already a man; by then, it was nothing but manscaping! The beard betrays you, because it belongs to him. I wonder, what will break first? Your stubble? Or your spirit?
Shot by Guiteau, but killed by his doctors. The autopsy showed there was already a protective cyst being formed around the bullet, but they worried more about the non-threat of "lead poisoning" than they did about their absolutely filthy surgical practices. Besides the insanity plea, I think the defense attorney went for the killed-by-doctors angle, too.
it sucks having to summarise garfield's death to people because any description short enough for conversation leaves out so many details. stuff like the doctor's name being Doctor, or the pounds of ground beef stuffed up garfield's asshole. it was an inept surgery even for cavemen, let alone 19th century doctors.
1880's asylums were really bad. The courts had mercy on the guy by giving him the death penalty. This is not a joke by the way. Death was more merciful in those days.

@Projekt Kobra Yeah, as that is the literally definition of fame. Quote: "the state of being known or talked about by many people, especially on account of notable achievements."
I first heard about him almost 10 years ago in my civics class... I hadn't heard much about him after that class. I do mention his name and story when people talk about the other presidential assassins. It's usually something like "You guys forgot the stupidest one ..." The topic usually comes up when talking about the presidents with the shortest term.
fun fact: Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, who was the Secretary of War at the time, was next to Garfield during the assasination. also, he once almost died from being crushed by a train car when Edwin Booth, John Wilkes Booth's brother, saved him, while traveling with his friend, John T. Ford.
He was also nearby when McKinley got iced as well. He is said to have refused a later presidential invitation with the comment, "No, I'm not going, and they'd better not ask me, because there is a certain fatality about presidential functions when I am present." Although, that wasn't a firm policy, there's quite a nice picture of him, Chief Justice (and former President) Taft and President Harding at the opening of the Lincoln Memorial.
@@jeremyphillips3087 Even if it's fake he's still an eccentric scientist with a child murdering sheep. This man needs to make a Thomas Jefferson video.
Fun fact: while Garfield was still alive after the shooting, they recruited Alexander Graham Bell to help, after he had offered to test his prototype of an X-ray machine by finding the bullets lodged in the President’s body. Unfortunately, this was the 1800s when people put those horrible metal spring coil things in their mattresses, including Garfield’s bed, meaning the machine just buzzed constantly no matter where Bell tried it. Bell never forgave himself for the incident and gave up on perfecting the X-ray, thus delaying its development for a couple of decades.
I know I’m super late on this cuz I just got into Sam’s videos but the other assisination was probably president McKinley by Leon Czolgosz. (Just as a disclaimer I got all my info on Wikipedia which “isn’t a credible source” but sue me) - was a polish American born in may 1873 - mom died at 10 during child birth - became a factory worker at 17 - economic hardships pushed him to Catholic Church - went to live with dad on a big farm - did fuck all to help with maintaining farm - fought with step mom about religion - left his dad to become a recluse - became a socialist - then became an anarchist - found out about an assassination on an Italian leader - thought “that’s not a half bad idea, this’ll solve all of my economic problems and help the country. I’m such a noble guy” - went to the pan American exposition in Buffalo ny (my home town :) ) in 1901 - bought a pistol - just walked up to the president and shot him twice (first shot ricocheted off his jacket button and second was non fatal gut shot) - just like Garfield they examined the president and expedited the infection - Leon was tried days after the president died - defense tried to claim insanity but it was denied because he put so much work into making sure the pistol worked and was properly concealed during the assassination. They said no insane man would commit murder in such a public place knowing that they would be caught - convicted of first degree murder - had two visits before getting the electric chair; first his father Fudzinski and Father Hickey went to see him but was refused twice before being let to him. They brought being a clergy man early in the day who pleaded with him for 45 min to repent but he refused. - the other was with his brother and brother in law who asked him why he did it to which he said “No one. Nobody had anything to do with it but me." They didn’t think this was like him and it’s not how he was raised so they asked if he wanted the preacher to come back. When asked he said "No, damn them. Don't send them here again. I don't want them," and "Don't you have any praying over me when I am dead. I don't want it. I don't want any of their damned religion." - was sent to the chair where his last words were “I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people - the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime. I am sorry I could not see my father." (Presumably talking about his biological father idk how these two “fathers” were related to him but it’s probably some fucky Wikipedia shit) - got three shocks and died - brothers were at execution and wanted to take the body but were deterred because the people performing the execution said “the crowd wouldn’t let them leave the building with the body or else they would get mobbed and hav ethe body stolen presumably to be horribly defiled Mussolini style - the authorities autopsied him and found that he was super unhealthy and had gross STD warts on his junk - they planned to burry him in the prison but wanted to decompose the body quickly so nobody could dig him up and worship him - the authorities looked at him body and was like “hey this quicklime stuff works great at decomposing flesh (as seen with this piece of meat we tested it in earlier) and we’re legally allowed to use as much of it as we want but you know what is even better at dissolving stuff? Sulfuric acid. So they dumped a vat of acid on him horribly disfiguring his corpse and after 12 hours was completely melted. They then burned his cloths and called it a day. - after his death an anarchist writer was accused of helping the assassination but was let go to insufficient evidence - she wrote saying that McKinley was a “President of money kings and trust magnates” in an article called “ The Tragedy of Buffalo” but it was tossed aside because the whole anarchist movement was tarnished by Leon’s actions - Leon was “buried” in Cayuga county NY in an unmarked grave with only writing being “Fort Hill Remains" I doubt anybody actually read through all that but it was a fun way to add what I can to the void that is TH-cam comments (on a video that’s 2+ years old (I don’t want to check exactly cuz then I’d have to delete this mini thesis)). Thanks to whoever got this far and if you want to read more about it there’s a horribly boring book I had to read in highschool about all this called “Devil in the White City” which is split between H.H. Holmes’s story (the actual interesting part of the book) and the American exposition which leads into Leon’s story. Alright now time to work on finals shit :))))))))))))))))))) (I want to die) Edit (“literally” 20 seconds after posting) I probably didn’t get all the information and probably got shit wrong. If I willfully wanted to spread misinformation I’d go back to before Twitter blue was canceled. I did the best a half hour of reading could do.
Yea u got it mostly right. Doubt Sam will do a video on it cause it's not very wacky/funny and mostly just kind of sad for everyone involved. Wouldn't really make a good Sam O'Nella type of video
He also got his own song in a Broadway musical. "Come all ye Christians And learn from a sinner: Charlie Guiteau Bound and determined He'd wind up a winner Charlie had dreams That he wouldn't let go Said, 'Nothing to it I want it, I'll do it I'm Charles J. Guiteau.' Charlie Guiteau Never said 'Never' Or heard the word 'No.' Faced with disaster His heart would beat faster His smile would just grow..."
I wrote a thesis on president Garfield a few years ago. His entire rise to fame is fucking wild. Here are a few highlights: - He never wanted to be president, ever. - He was a general in the civil war and was ready to retire, when Lincoln urged him over several months to become a member of congress in the house - He was ready to retire when a spot in the senate opened up, and almost every republican in the house and senate pushed for him to take the spot - After a few years, he was ready to retire as a senator, and was attending one of his last RNCs when he won the primary out of fucking nowhere. He did not run for president, nor was he interested. No one at the RNC liked either candidate, so some of them got together and decided to vote for Garfield, probably as a joke - When Garfield won the nomination, he was quoted as feeling "sickened and shocked," and did NOTHING to promote himself - Despite doing NOTHING, he won the presidential election a few months later - During his inauguration, he basically said the equivalent of "I never wanted to be president ever, not even once." Garfield's entire political career is fucking bonkers. The strangest part is that he was actually an incredibly well liked president during his short tenure, against all odds. I highly recommend anyone who's interested in him to do more research on him.
That's a marvelous bit of background. Thanks for sharing. Intelligent people have said that the people most qualified to be president have no desire to be president.
As a U.S. senator from Ohio, Garfield gave speeches on behalf of Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman. Ohio was a must-win state, then as now. The delegates liked the speeches so much that they nominated Garfield instead of Sherman.
@@secretlythreeducksinamansu3546 I disagree. Plenty of people who don't want power shouldn't have it either. It's people who desire ultimate power that ultimately should not have it.
Fun fact: Guiteau's brain was preserved because physicians at the time believed that insanity and crime were something genetic. Parts of his brain are still intact and now in a museum.
@@ShadesMF Considering that delinquency and criminality are linked to a particular intelligence range of about 80-90 IQ and various personality traits (low empathy, low impulse control, high time-preference) and all of those are to some degree hereditable, it is a reasonable inference that criminal tendencies are hereditary. It's difficult to find reliable research on the subject, of course, because the hypothesis violates the social mores and pseudoreligious beliefs of modern academia, but it's a reasonable inference nevertheless.
@@RabbiHerschel makes sense, i think the biggest thing on a person being a criminal is the conditions and influences they grow with But yeah it could be somewhat related to genetics
Also, the bulletwound in Garfield’s back was not fatal at all, but the doctors kept poking the hole over and over to find the bullet, and they opened a 12 inch long hole in his back in the wrong direction. When it got infected, the doctors thought the pus that formed around was a signed of healing and they started to cut into the wound and make it larger to stick a hose and suck the pus out. Though the hose also sucked out parts of his rib too! They also decided to not give him food and instead feed him rectally for the second half of the “treatment”. The infection got so bad one side of his face was completely paralyzed
I know they were greatly limited by the knowledge and medical practices of their time, but I always thought the doctors working on Garfield we're exceptionally horrible at their jobs even by the standards of the time. He would have been a fantastic president too. A great man lost.
Syphilis can emerge later after it "disappears" as neruo-spyphilis, which can lead to brain damage. So while it might not have MADE him batshit insane, it certainly didn't help
He'll make more money w two ten minutes vids than one twenty, not persecuting him for that, he totally deserves it and I'm glad he's doing enough to keep the videos coming
The note that he writes for Garfield after he steals the election from grant….is some of the best comedy writing I have ever seen. It’s genius and I remember the first time reading it and just DYING
We forget the during his trial, Guiteau's lawyer was his brother-in-law, who was doing the service for no charge. Guiteau insisted on defending himself though. On top of that, his lawyer and his family got a bunch of doctors to say that Guiteau was insane (which he clearly was) but Guiteau verbally objected and made mad attempts to say he wasn't.
To be fair, the insanity defense is awful. Insane asylums are far worse than maximum security prisons. At least in prison you can see people and move, and you aren't put on meds to make you incapable of thought.
Fun fact: Garfield is the only US president to contribute anything original to mathematics. When he was a senator, he made an entirely original proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
@Paul Martin yeah what a joke channel. Could've told us the actual name of other one so we could research it ourselves. So much for a proclaimed "intellectual" and educational channel.
you didn't mention my favorite detail about the assassination: even though there had already been one very consequential presidential assassination, presidential security was so incompetent that Guiteau was able to get close enough to Garfield to kill him by just putting a cloth over the pistol and walking up to him.
i recently realized that i was wrong about this, it was actually Leon Czolgosz who assassinated president William McKinley by putting a cloth over his pistol. which means that it's even stupider because McKinley was assassinated 20 years after Garfield so there had been 2 presidential assassinations and they still just let some idiot with a cloth over his hand in the shape of a pistol walk up to the president.
youre thinking of leon czolgosz, preisdent mckinley's assassin. which honestly makes it funnier because at that point there were TWO successful presidential assassinations and security qas STILL shit
@@beeno9004 Guess three presidents needed to die before they decided security needed to be upped. They had a pretty good run until JFK, and then there was that moment with Reagan but after that… seems like the secret service has had their shit together….
Security is still that bad for US Senators, though. I went to an event where the US Senator was talking to people in the crowd and the only security was about 300 feet away. It would have been incredibly easy for someone to sneak in a gun and kill the senator.
I first learned about this from the book “The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons”. It gave a lot of insight on what was going on with his brain, as well as numerous other historical stories told from a neurological point of view. I definitely recommend!
Fun fact, Benjamin Franklin wrote to a male acquaintance that he should bang older women instead of younger ones. “...in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these: 1. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor'd with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreable. 2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman. 3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience. 4. Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin'd to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes. 5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement. 6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy. 7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend the making an old Woman happy. 8thly and Lastly They are so grateful!!”

One of my favorite aspects of this story is this: The gun that Charles used to kill Garfield - the one he picked SPECIFICALLY to look good in a museum - WAS donated to the Smithsonian; however, the gun was later LOST by the Smithsonian and its location is still unknown to this day. The only thing that went the way Charles wanted it to was actual act of killing Garfield. Nothing else worked out.
If Garfield didn't even receive any medical attention and was just wheelchaired back to his house he probably would've lived through the rest of his term too
Fun fact: The revolver that was used by Guiteau was lost around the early 20th century. Photographs of the image do exist, as they were taken by the Smithsonian. Guiteau wanting to be remembered in the museum will never be true now.

I think this story shows that abusive parents truly make a wild animal out of someone and that is what happened in this story and honestly a bit sad knowing a man who could do good was raised by an over religious abuser in his childhood and sadly molded him into the person he was but the things he did were not good and just bad or bizzare
I don't know, his brother tried to get him to be a functioning member of society. His sister bailed him out of jail and gave him a place to stay. They likely had the same childhood as him and didn't turn out like him. Some people just go off the deep end no matter what.
@@13vatraI’m sorry but that really doesn’t negate anything he said. People are going to be affected differently and be at different levels of adjustment when it comes to abuse even if it is by the same person(and even then we don’t even know if his alive siblings were abused). The point being made here is that he probably wouldn’t have turned out the way he did if he wasn’t abused. Obviously that doesn’t justify the things that he did but my point still stands.

Guiteau is one of the most interesting characters in the Sondheim musical Assassins, which is about everyone who ever attempted or succeeded in assassinating a U.S president. Guiteau is framed as comic relief the entire show, but then he’s one of four who actually succeeded. His song, “The Ballad of Guiteau,” has this both creepy and optimistic vibe at the same time, and if you’re into American history and/or theater I really suggest you check it out!
Almost everyone, Sondheim left out the would-be assassins of Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Truman. Although it's still a neat musical. Now that John Hinckley's out of the asylum and posting songs to TH-cam I wonder what he thinks of the songs Sondheim wrote for him? Although I feel like to avoid legal trouble he probably shouldn't bring it up.
I learned about the musical through this comment, so glad I did. I never imagined that I'd like musicals. My favourite song is probably Ballad of Czolgosz, quick and succinct yet so catchy.
Yup. Doctors believe he had mild psychosis at the very least. Causing hallucinations and delusional thought. This could be a symptom of advanced Syphilis
Yeah but I’d argue Gutieu is at least entertaining to watch, unlike Onision, although to be fair if the internet existed back then he probably would have just been another onision
I actually saw an episode of American Dad about Garfield and Guiteau and half wondered if the latter was real (he's portrayed as a raving bearded lunatic and described as a "bloodhound" by the show) and if so, half wondered if he was really that insane Yes, the answer is very clearly yes
Interestingly enough, the ivory gripped gun that Guiteau picked "because it would look good in museum" was actually lost by the Smithsonian. Its current whereabouts are unknown.
Supposedly one reason the doctors were digging around so much in Garfield’s body was because Thomas Edison had just invented a prototype metal detector to find the bullet but didn’t account for the the metal springs in the mattress he was laying on

I know I’m super late on this cuz I just got into Sam’s videos but the other assisination was probably president McKinley by Leon Czolgosz. (Just as a disclaimer I got all my info on Wikipedia which “isn’t a credible source” but sue me)
- was a polish American born in may 1873
- mom died at 10 during child birth
- became a factory worker at 17
- economic hardships pushed him to Catholic Church
- went to live with dad on a big farm
- did fuck all to help with maintaining farm
- fought with step mom about religion
- left his dad to become a recluse
- became a socialist
- then became an anarchist
- found out about an assassination on an Italian leader
- thought “that’s not a half bad idea, this’ll solve all of my economic problems and help the country. I’m such a noble guy”
- went to the pan American exposition in Buffalo ny (my home town :) ) in 1901
- bought a pistol
- just walked up to the president and shot him twice (first shot ricocheted off his jacket button and second was non fatal gut shot)
- just like Garfield they examined the president and expedited the infection
- Leon was tried days after the president died
- defense tried to claim insanity but it was denied because he put so much work into making sure the pistol worked and was properly concealed during the assassination. They said no insane man would commit murder in such a public place knowing that they would be caught
- convicted of first degree murder
- had two visits before getting the electric chair; first his father Fudzinski and Father Hickey went to see him but was refused twice before being let to him. They brought being a clergy man early in the day who pleaded with him for 45 min to repent but he refused.
- the other was with his brother and brother in law who asked him why he did it to which he said “No one. Nobody had anything to do with it but me." They didn’t think this was like him and it’s not how he was raised so they asked if he wanted the preacher to come back. When asked he said "No, damn them. Don't send them here again. I don't want them," and "Don't you have any praying over me when I am dead. I don't want it. I don't want any of their damned religion."
- was sent to the chair where his last words were “I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people - the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime. I am sorry I could not see my father." (Presumably talking about his biological father idk how these two “fathers” were related to him but it’s probably some fucky Wikipedia shit)
- got three shocks and died
- brothers were at execution and wanted to take the body but were deterred because the people performing the execution said “the crowd wouldn’t let them leave the building with the body or else they would get mobbed and hav ethe body stolen presumably to be horribly defiled Mussolini style
- the authorities autopsied him and found that he was super unhealthy and had gross STD warts on his junk
- they planned to burry him in the prison but wanted to decompose the body quickly so nobody could dig him up and worship him
- the authorities looked at him body and was like “hey this quicklime stuff works great at decomposing flesh (as seen with this piece of meat we tested it in earlier) and we’re legally allowed to use as much of it as we want but you know what is even better at dissolving stuff? Sulfuric acid. So they dumped a vat of acid on him horribly disfiguring his corpse and after 12 hours was completely melted. They then burned his cloths and called it a day.
- after his death an anarchist writer was accused of helping the assassination but was let go to insufficient evidence
- she wrote saying that McKinley was a “President of money kings and trust magnates” in an article called “ The Tragedy of Buffalo” but it was tossed aside because the whole anarchist movement was tarnished by Leon’s actions
- Leon was “buried” in Cayuga county NY in an unmarked grave with only writing being “Fort Hill Remains"
I doubt anybody actually read through all that but it was a fun way to add what I can to the void that is TH-cam comments (on a video that’s 2+ years old (I don’t want to check exactly cuz then I’d have to delete this mini thesis)). Thanks to whoever got this far and if you want to read more about it there’s a horribly boring book I had to read in highschool about all this called “Devil in the White City” which is split between H.H. Holmes’s story (the actual interesting part of the book) and the American exposition which leads into Leon’s story. Alright now time to work on finals shit :))))))))))))))))))) (I want to die)

I wrote a thesis on president Garfield a few years ago. His entire rise to fame is fucking wild. Here are a few highlights:
- He never wanted to be president, ever.
- He was a general in the civil war and was ready to retire, when Lincoln urged him over several months to become a member of congress in the house
- He was ready to retire when a spot in the senate opened up, and almost every republican in the house and senate pushed for him to take the spot
- After a few years, he was ready to retire as a senator, and was attending one of his last RNCs when he won the primary out of fucking nowhere. He did not run for president, nor was he interested. No one at the RNC liked either candidate, so some of them got together and decided to vote for Garfield, probably as a joke
- When Garfield won the nomination, he was quoted as feeling "sickened and shocked," and did NOTHING to promote himself
- Despite doing NOTHING, he won the presidential election a few months later
- During his inauguration, he basically said the equivalent of "I never wanted to be president ever, not even once."
Garfield's entire political career is fucking bonkers. The strangest part is that he was actually an incredibly well liked president during his short tenure, against all odds. I highly recommend anyone who's interested in him to do more research on him.
That's a marvelous bit of background. Thanks for sharing.
Intelligent people have said that the people most qualified to be president have no desire to be president.
As a U.S. senator from Ohio, Garfield gave speeches on behalf of Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman. Ohio was a must-win state, then as now. The delegates liked the speeches so much that they nominated Garfield instead of Sherman.
The people who should have power are the ones who do not want it.
@@secretlythreeducksinamansu3546 I disagree. Plenty of people who don't want power shouldn't have it either. It's people who desire ultimate power that ultimately should not have it.
Garfield:I don't wanna be president.
God: President it is then.
Fun fact: Guiteau's brain was preserved because physicians at the time believed that insanity and crime were something genetic. Parts of his brain are still intact and now in a museum.
On average, they are.
@@RabbiHerschel not sure about crime, but yeah insanity may kind of genetic
@@ShadesMF Considering that delinquency and criminality are linked to a particular intelligence range of about 80-90 IQ and various personality traits (low empathy, low impulse control, high time-preference) and all of those are to some degree hereditable, it is a reasonable inference that criminal tendencies are hereditary. It's difficult to find reliable research on the subject, of course, because the hypothesis violates the social mores and pseudoreligious beliefs of modern academia, but it's a reasonable inference nevertheless.
@@RabbiHerschel makes sense, i think the biggest thing on a person being a criminal is the conditions and influences they grow with

Hi from the 27th
@@cyberlegend7623 28th.
Also, the bulletwound in Garfield’s back was not fatal at all, but the doctors kept poking the hole over and over to find the bullet, and they opened a 12 inch long hole in his back in the wrong direction. When it got infected, the doctors thought the pus that formed around was a signed of healing and they started to cut into the wound and make it larger to stick a hose and suck the pus out. Though the hose also sucked out parts of his rib too! They also decided to not give him food and instead feed him rectally for the second half of the “treatment”. The infection got so bad one side of his face was completely paralyzed
*GARFIELD GOT SHOT??*
Fucking hell
That's literal torture wtf.
I know they were greatly limited by the knowledge and medical practices of their time, but I always thought the doctors working on Garfield we're exceptionally horrible at their jobs even by the standards of the time. He would have been a fantastic president too. A great man lost.

We forget the during his trial, Guiteau's lawyer was his brother-in-law, who was doing the service for no charge. Guiteau insisted on defending himself though. On top of that, his lawyer and his family got a bunch of doctors to say that Guiteau was insane (which he clearly was) but Guiteau verbally objected and made mad attempts to say he wasn't.

you didn't mention my favorite detail about the assassination: even though there had already been one very consequential presidential assassination, presidential security was so incompetent that Guiteau was able to get close enough to Garfield to kill him by just putting a cloth over the pistol and walking up to him.
i recently realized that i was wrong about this, it was actually Leon Czolgosz who assassinated president William McKinley by putting a cloth over his pistol. which means that it's even stupider because McKinley was assassinated 20 years after Garfield so there had been 2 presidential assassinations and they still just let some idiot with a cloth over his hand in the shape of a pistol walk up to the president.
youre thinking of leon czolgosz, preisdent mckinley's assassin. which honestly makes it funnier because at that point there were TWO successful presidential assassinations and security qas STILL shit
@@beeno9004 Guess three presidents needed to die before they decided security needed to be upped. They had a pretty good run until JFK, and then there was that moment with Reagan but after that… seems like the secret service has had their shit together….
Security is still that bad for US Senators, though. I went to an event where the US Senator was talking to people in the crowd and the only security was about 300 feet away. It would have been incredibly easy for someone to sneak in a gun and kill the senator.
Assassinating the President, huh? That does sound familiar.... Wouldn't you agree, Johnny?

Fun fact, Benjamin Franklin wrote to a male acquaintance that he should bang older women instead of younger ones.
“...in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these:
1. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor'd with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreable.
2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.
3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience.
4. Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin'd to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.
5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.
6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy.
7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend the making an old Woman happy.

One of my favorite aspects of this story is this: The gun that Charles used to kill Garfield - the one he picked SPECIFICALLY to look good in a museum - WAS donated to the Smithsonian; however, the gun was later LOST by the Smithsonian and its location is still unknown to this day.
The only thing that went the way Charles wanted it to was actual act of killing Garfield. Nothing else worked out.
Hell even then, killing Garfield would not have worked out if the doctors were competent enough to save him.
and the thing is he’s not even the one who was mostly at fault for killing garfield

I think this story shows that abusive parents truly make a wild animal out of someone and that is what happened in this story and honestly a bit sad knowing a man who could do good was raised by an over religious abuser in his childhood and sadly molded him into the person he was but the things he did were not good and just bad or bizzare
This is a common thing with a lot of the most fucked up people in history: Abusive parents
I don't know, his brother tried to get him to be a functioning member of society. His sister bailed him out of jail and gave him a place to stay. They likely had the same childhood as him and didn't turn out like him. Some people just go off the deep end no matter what.
@@13vatraI’m sorry but that really doesn’t negate anything he said. People are going to be affected differently and be at different levels of adjustment when it comes to abuse even if it is by the same person(and even then we don’t even know if his alive siblings were abused). The point being made here is that he probably wouldn’t have turned out the way he did if he wasn’t abused. Obviously that doesn’t justify the things that he did but my point still stands.
@@digimonlover1632 a lot of people turn out awful even with perfect childhoods. So it's hard to say.
At what point do we just go "yeah, this is your fault. "?

@@comedyshortsgamer1486 I don't, and I'm 28. The beardliness has eluded me, or have I eluded it? ... For years have I wanted a beard, and all I get are patches of stubble...
Wtf how i didn't notice
Guiteau is one of the most interesting characters in the Sondheim musical Assassins, which is about everyone who ever attempted or succeeded in assassinating a U.S president. Guiteau is framed as comic relief the entire show, but then he’s one of four who actually succeeded. His song, “The Ballad of Guiteau,” has this both creepy and optimistic vibe at the same time, and if you’re into American history and/or theater I really suggest you check it out!
Almost everyone, Sondheim left out the would-be assassins of Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Truman. Although it's still a neat musical. Now that John Hinckley's out of the asylum and posting songs to TH-cam I wonder what he thinks of the songs Sondheim wrote for him? Although I feel like to avoid legal trouble he probably shouldn't bring it up.
I learned about the musical through this comment, so glad I did. I never imagined that I'd like musicals. My favourite song is probably Ballad of Czolgosz, quick and succinct yet so catchy.
that's why i'm here actually
Wow that sounds kinda cool. I’m gonna check it out
@@possums154eyyy that’s why I’m here too! Come all ye Christians and learn from a sinner…
Bruh this man was perhaps one of the rare times an insanity verdict should've been thrown down. He was like an 1800s Onision or Dennis Reynolds.
Yup. Doctors believe he had mild psychosis at the very least. Causing hallucinations and delusional thought. This could be a symptom of advanced Syphilis
Yeah but I’d argue Gutieu is at least entertaining to watch, unlike Onision, although to be fair if the internet existed back then he probably would have just been another onision

I actually saw an episode of American Dad about Garfield and Guiteau and half wondered if the latter was real (he's portrayed as a raving bearded lunatic and described as a "bloodhound" by the show) and if so, half wondered if he was really that insane
Yes, the answer is very clearly yes
Interestingly enough, the ivory gripped gun that Guiteau picked "because it would look good in museum" was actually lost by the Smithsonian. Its current whereabouts are unknown.
Yeah, somebody stole it
@@ryanboggs8685 i stole it
@@jango7889 give it back cat
I guess it looked too cool to not be stolen.

“He convinced himself that it was now gods will to remove Garfield from this mortal plane”
Me too
Which Garfield?
Hey man I know he wasn't the best Spiderman but there's no need to kill him
i’m sorry jon
That was me after learning about Garfield Eats.
They kind of did that if you see the depressing Garfield without Garfield comics
Supposedly one reason the doctors were digging around so much in Garfield’s body was because Thomas Edison had just invented a prototype metal detector to find the bullet but didn’t account for the the metal springs in the mattress he was laying on
Yep
it was Graham Bell you stupid fuck
Edison killed Garfield
Defective Factoid Bot edison was a bastard
That bastard. And here I thought Edison was the man to get us into this century.
I think my favorite part is that Guiteau bought the ivory pistol “so it would look better in a museum” but the Smithsonian promptly lost it anyway lol
He was such a loser, no one ever cared about him in any century

"It would be irresponsible, frankly, to do anything but -grant- Garfield him the presidency"
Incredible.
Garfield has been and always will be my favourite verb.
Like how at some point they renamed mages to wizards in dnd and control f replaced all instances of the word leading to some editions of the rules saying some attacks and effects dealt "dawizard" instead of damage
Guiteau: man I really like that British actor Hugh Garfield
Roasting eachother about your sins sounds like the most religious thing I've ever heard lol
I present to you: the original florida man
If we're going to make fun of a state, I just want to point out... This dude was tired of people being a dick to him, so he moved to NEW JERSEY?!
@@ressljs new jersey bad?
@@Andmau2552 The rest of the northeast wanted to build a wall (around New Jersey) long before Trump got the idea.
@@ressljs why? I haven't seen anyone mocking New Jersey like other states, Florida for example
@@Andmau2552 I think you mostly see the anti-Jersey attitude in the neighboring states. But the image of jerks with no sense of taste shown off in the show "Jersey Shore" is what the rest of the northeast thinks of that state. And in the 90's, SNL had a "Jersey Guys" recurring skit. It may not be on the level of mockery that Florida gets, but people pointing and laughing at New Jersey is definitely a thing.
here’s his poem:
“I am going to the Lordy, I am so glad,
I am going to the Lordy, I am so glad,
I am going to the Lordy,
Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah!
I am going to the Lordy.
I love the Lordy with all my soul,
Glory hallelujah!
And that is the reason I am going to the Lord,
Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah!
I am going to the Lord.
I saved my party and my land,
Glory hallelujah!
But they have murdered me for it,
And that is the reason I am going to the Lordy,
Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah!
I am going to the Lordy!
I wonder what I will do when I get to the Lordy,
I guess that I will weep no more
When I get to the Lordy!
Glory hallelujah!
I wonder what I will see when I get to the Lordy,
I expect to see most glorious things,
Beyond all earthly conception
When I am with the Lordy!
Glory hallelujah! Glory hallelujah!
I am with the Lord.”
