Alternate Presidential Assasinations thread

Could we keep most of these serious, please?

Really, I understand I couldn't stop the joke ones and think a few are ok. But not as every one or even a majority of them.


it's just that if it's a serious proposal, there's the sense that the secret service could come knocking with numerous questions and so on.

my proposal was going to involve LBJ being savagely attacked by a beagle with sensitive ears.

(amusing quote about ttl incident w beagles,
The President gave the [Him and Her] some candy-coated vitamin pills, then lifted the dogs up onto their haunches by pulling their ears and noted their yapping with apparent pleasure. "It's good for them," he said. "It does them good to let them bark.")

United Nations plaza, NYC

The Date:
April 1, 1995

Any Details:
McVeigh put an extraordinary amount of explosive into the truck to ensure it would reach his target(s) with lethal force as the president greeted onlookers from the plaza in front of the UN building.


McVeigh went back towards the truck when he wasn't sure it would explode. When he was about five feet away from the truck, it did explode.

Detailes: A Deluded Italian, Zangara Feared the USA would join Adenoid Hynkel's Austria-Hungary and was Determined to stop it. He was able to kill President Fuller, and Injure Vice President Manheim, but was stopped.
 
I just realized that if McVeigh got vaporized while checking to see if the bomb was functioning, the odds of discovering his role in it would be minimal, wouldn't it?
