hi can you tell me a litlw about zangara & byck i know like. nothin about them
OH OH OH OH OH OHHHHH
okay so i’ve not been able to find a whole lot of information about them online, which is :(, BUT!! WE PROCEED NONETHELESS!!!!!
so giuseppe zangara was an italian immigrant who was hella anti-capitalist, and if i remember correctly, it was after a financial plan FDR came up with that he decided to shoot him? that needs to be fact checked though lmao
he was in the crowd of a parade where roosevelt was giving an impromptu speech in the back of a car, and he was so short (5 feet!) that he had to stand on a metal folding chair in order to aim his gun
he fired off one shot before the crowd attempted to stop him, and he unleashed five more shots aimlessly into the crowd. five people total were shot, including chicago mayor cermack, who would die of his wounds about 17-ish days later- though, it’s unclear as to whether or not he would have died if it weren’t for the doctor’s treatments of his wound (similar to president garfield, it was mishandling of the treatment process that would lead to his death). additionally, one woman was burned from the gunpowder, and one man’s hand was grazed by a bullet.
he was convicted of first degree murder, through transfer of intent (though he didn’t intend to kill cermack, he DID intend to kill FDR, and therefore was able to be tried to the fullest extent), and would be sentenced to death, spending only a week on death row. when he found out that there wouldn’t be a crowd at his execution, he was VERY disappointed. he would die by an electric chair, that was nicknamed, i believe, old sparky. no i’m not joking.
additionally, he suffered from chronic stomach pain his entire life, likely resulting from intense labor at the age of six. he underwent multiple surgeries, none of which were successful- and i believe that it was partially due to this intense chronic pain that modern historians wonder whether or not it could have contributed to a possible defense by insanity in court, because of the severity, though that also could use a fact check.
also! there’s a conspiracy that he was actually intending to hit mayor cermack, and that he was a skilled marksman and an assassin hired by a chicago mob boss instructed to kill cermack as retribution for cermack’s attempted hit on said mob boss, though this directly contradicts zangara’s statements about the crime.
and byck! oh, byck.
samuel byck came from a poor family, and grew up with mental health issues. he checked himself into a mental hospital for two months, and it was there were he was radicalized and became certain of richard nixon’s ill-intent towards the poor.
he would be arrested twice for protesting in front of the white house without a permit (once in a santa costume, which is why he’s dressed like that in assassins!), until he decided that the best course of action was not, in fact, protest, but instead that he needed to kill nixon.
he planned to steal a plane and fly it into the white house, and he recorded every step of his plan, because he thought he would be regarded as a hero.
when they day came, he brought a 2 gallon bomb and a gun to the airport and hijacked a plane, ordering the pilots to fly him to the white house. they told him that they could not take off with the doors open, and when byck went to shut the doors, they called both airport security and the police.
when they told him they couldn’t fly the plane without the blocks being removed from the wheels, he got angry and shot both pilots, then dragged a passenger up to the cockpit and ordered her to fly it.
the police eventually came, and they attempted to shoot out the wheels of the plane to prevent it from taking off, though the bullets never punctured. byck would end up shooting a police offer before shooting himself in the head, living for a few minutes after the shot and asking the police to help him.
in total, three people were killed- one of the pilots died before he was able to be brought to the hospital, as well as police officer and, obviously, byck himself.
after the incident, it was found that he had sent an interview with himself to a journalist to publish in the newspaper, again reiterating his belief that he would be hailed as a hero to the american people.
both men would soon fade into relative obscurity but for history nerds and musical fans.
