Its weird to think that he was “assassinated” on September 6 but didnt die until September 14, over a week later.
Wonder what it felt like to live in the days of top hats and mostly uniform dress attire.
At the Temple Of Music.
Wait; Lincoln, this guy, Kennedy and who else?
I worked for a man related to McKinley. Seeing this pic, I realize my old boss looked just like his ancestor.
Dude looks like the penguin from Batman
Cool album cover
What’s crazy is doctors couldn’t find the second bullet. And there was a a brand new device being shown nearby called the X-Ray.
This is why I always opt for the elevator. Or the lift in Europe.
TIL the penguin was a US president
Can’t tell if this is AI. Man I fucking hate AI
Photographers amIrite?
That’s the penguin.
I thought this was the penguin.
This is why I always take the elevator
Fun story: McKinley was expelled from Allegheny College in Meadville Pennsylvania for somehow smuggling a cow onto the roof of Brook’s Hall (The Dining hall).
They now have a second dining hall/restaurant that is open to the public called McKinley’s that features a large cow statue on the roof.
He was born in my hometown (Niles) for anyone wondering. We learned a lot about him in school but one of the things we learned about his presidency was that he was incredibly average. His presidency was pretty bland and milquetoast and he has honestly kind of been forgotten outside of his assassination. Didn’t really cause a lot of division nor did he inspire a great deal.
He was so Mid and harmless as a president that he was warned about his assassination prior to being killed and when he was warned he famously said “who would wish to hurt me”?
Think about that. A president who sat on the fence so well that when told he was going to be killed, he didn’t believe it because he couldn’t think of any one in particular he pissed off
Oswald Cobblepot
“Look at me, fellas, I’m owning these stairs. I’m making these stairs my—-“
That President, probably
Big Bill!
Cool picture, I never knew it existed. Now I’m going to have to look to see if there were other pictures from that day.
You can’t fool me, I know The Penguin when I see him.
Na, that’s the Penguin 🐧.
“The Lincoln squirrel…has been assassinated.”
I find it amazing the his killer, Leon F. Czolgosz, was tried and executed within 7 weeks. McKinley was assasinated the first week id Sepember and his assasin was dead hy the end of October.
Someday I want to buy a top hat. That Is some serious drip.
Is this AI or something? His feet don’t look right…🤔
Looks like he’s floating.
Not a cell phone in sight. People are just living in the moment, enjoying their surroundings. For now…
How many US presidents have been assassinated? I thought my country had a bad reputation for leaders dying through killings.
My great-great-great uncle, Enoch Nickoli Erickson, was in Buffalo, NY, when McKinley was assassinated. Enoch had just returned from the Philippines, where he’d fought in the Spanish-American War, followed by fighting in the Boxer Rebellion in China. Enoch was one of the soldiers who stood guard at McKinley’s room as he lay dying and then accompanied McKinley’s body back by train to Washington, D. C. After McKinley’s funeral, Enoch returned to a quiet life of farming in Western Iowa.
Wait there was more than 2 successful US assassination? (Lincoln and Kennedy)
Did he fall back, and to the left?
Looks like the penguin right before Batman rolls through
