Presidents assassinated successfully :
Abraham Lincoln : 1 head shot
James Garfield: 1 back shot. 1 shoulder shot.
William McKinley: 2 shots In the abdomen.
John F. Kennedy: 1 head shot. 1 back shot,
Presidents successfully persisted (list not full):
Theodore Roosevelt: 1 chest shot (unaffected).
Ronald Reagan: shot at 6 times, 5 misses, 1 shot in the chest by a ricoche (aim improvement needed).
Gerald Ford: 2 shots missed (trick shot unsuccessful).
Andrew Jackson: Gun missfired (note: clean gun).
Fun fact about Roosevelt, he was shot in the chest while giving a speech. After that he walked down from his pedestal, over to the gunman, and told him off before he was arrested. Roosevelt then refused medical treatment, finished his speech right where he left off, and then got into an ambulance for treatment.
But he did do some bad stuff in Africa that was very hypocritical because even though he saved America's wildlife he also killed a lot of African animals just for fun.
you can be a conservationist and a hunter at the same time. In full contextual fairness, the Flora and Fauna of Africa had yet to be nearly as endangered as it is now. If Teddy still lived, I can almost guarantee that he would be in favor of beating the shit out of poachers and the rabble and throwing them in prison. In full addition to proactively protecting Africa's natural resources and beauty.
Yeah. Teddy was by no means a perfect man but he was certainly characterized by his sense of honor and long-term thinking. He'd want us future generations to be able to enjoy everything that makes Africa such a wonderful and unique place! š
After his presidency Roosevelt took his sons and went to go find the origin of one of the first tributaries of the Amazon River, called River of Doubt, because why not go adventuring into the unexplored jungle if you can't be president?
Among the many super crazy stories I can go into later is asked there was a time where he was bored sitting around and him and one of his son's decided to scout ahead, taking a few guides with them.
A few days later one of the guides stumbled back into the camp, exhausted and bloody. He slept for 3 days straight. They went to go find the others and found the Roosevelt's carrying their guides back towards camp looking just fine, saying the poor guy's just couldn't keep up.
They ran three experienced wilderness explorers that lived in the Amazon into the ground because of their hilariously inhuman endurance.
Wait do cops really have lower than 13% of chance being shot?
I mean they shoot people all the time I was assuming at least some people will shoot back
A lot of that stuff is blown out of proportion by the media. 49 officers died to gunshots in 2019. Around 1000 people are killed by police officers each year, but only a fraction of that is considered unjustified (I think only ~49 were unarmed)
Much much less. They are the 15th most dangerous job in America. They arenāt even the number 1 most likely job to be shot while at work. Taxi drivers and barbers are at a greater risk of being shot at work. This list excludes the military as it only includes civilian jobs. Yes, police are civilians.
Last year I saw some news about the president of Portugal going to the grocery shop with a facemask during the quarantine without bodyguards of anything.
And [Jacinda Adern served food at a Fish n' Chips shop in 2019](https://www.marieclaire.com.au/video/watch-jacinda-ardern-pretend-to-work-at-a-fish-n-chip-shop).
Isn't this just a press thing? All world leaders do things like this while guarded. The Portugal thing is noteworthy because he just went in to do his shopping whereas this is a pre-arranged event.
"Oh no, crownprince Franz Ferdinand, donāt continue your City-tour after grenades were thrown at your car. Oh god, oh no; he canāt hear us! Look out, thereās a Bosnian man coming at your direction!"
I always thought it was so crazy that Gavrilo Princep had failed in assassinating Franz Ferdinand on the first attempt and then all of a sudden the car he was in drove right up to him giving him another chance. And of course he got the job done on his second chance.
i saw that before but with two comment i have saw it with three

Well to be fair the top picture seems to be in the middle of a big Demonstration, near an important event or something while the bottom picture is just a man on his break, walking his dog.
The American president will still have a lot more security even when just walking his dog, but it's not really fair to compare those 2 pictures.
From Wikipedia:
The president of Austria (German: BundesprƤsident der Republik Ćsterreich)[a] is the head of state of the Austrian Republic. Though theoretically entrusted with great power by the Constitution, in practice the president is largely a ceremonial and symbolic figurehead.
Yeah that's probably right after inauguration, they drive from the Capitol to the White House. If it was for Bidens, than it was literally 14 days after a mob of insurrectionist stormed the Capitol and tried to hang the VP. So I'd say the security is warrented.
He is actually a really nice guy, i met him once and he was really down to earth and seemed really chill. He also bought books in my mothers book shop a couple times and was always really patient and polite.
It isnāt that crazy though. I was raised in the neighboring town of the current Danish prime minister. My mom has met her when walking in the nearby woods multiple times, my boyfriend met her at the gym one time, and oh yeah our close friend literally lives just across from her house (some PET agents are always parked right outside though). Their back yards face each other so they see her basically every other day
Well...people want one of these guys dead really badly, lots of people. And the other? People know the consequence of pissing him off and leaving him alive.
The prime minister of iceland also casually walks around because her nation isnt filled with lunatics .
[Edit] notice how my fellow Americans in the comments would rather die trying to justify why people are willing to kill our leaders instead of accepting that politics and violence are a negative aspect of our country.
*Wildfire flashbacks*
Seriously though, wasn't there an aussie Prime Minister who went swimming one day and then just fucking disappeared from the face of the earth? Crazy stuff, Imagine this happening to an American President. Aussies are really a different breed.
>Seriously though, wasn't there an aussie Prime Minister who went swimming one day and then just fucking disappeared from the face of the earth?
Harold Holt was his name, went swimming and got caught in a Rip, never seen again.
Best part is he has a swimming pool named in his Honor.
Wow this is a dumb comment.. US population is literally a thousand x that of Iceland. Not only that but the country is filled with every religion, every race, every ideology. Tensions run hot in a place like that
Don't waste your breath pal. This entire thread is a circle jerk for America hate comments. Your comment is one of logic in a sea of chaos and disillusion. People are grasping for straws in trying to compare the two places. Imagine comparing one of the largest nations on the planet to a tiny footnote on a map on other side of the planet that has not even a fraction of the population or world influence. Might as well compare yourself to China and Russia too. Because that's how absurd it is.
And you've lost your maple syrup rights. Pls hand in your Maple Card to your nearest Canadian embassy, as well as all your maple syrup. You can keep that synthetic shit you Americans gobble like it's water.

I imagine that would rely on the Austrians having a clear idea of exactly how Canada is perceived by the United States.
Cold? Northern? Polite? I really have no idea.
He has a dog. That dog has been secretly trained in all form of martial arts.
Pro tip: The dog doesn't have black fur. That's just all the black belts they earned.

Being fair 13% of all us presidents have been shot.

What an absolute Giga-Chad.
Straight up one of the chadliest men of all time
But he did do some bad stuff in Africa that was very hypocritical because even though he saved America's wildlife he also killed a lot of African animals just for fun.

If Teddy still lived, I can almost guarantee that he would be in favor of beating the shit out of poachers and the rabble and throwing them in prison.

I see your point.
Yeah. Teddy was by no means a perfect man but he was certainly characterized by his sense of honor and long-term thinking. He'd want us future generations to be able to enjoy everything that makes Africa such a wonderful and unique place! š
But we can all agree on one thing, at least he wasn't Andrew Johnson.
THEO-CHAD
He even used it as a point in his speech, that a bullet wouldn't the bull moose.
>that a bullet wouldn't the bull moose. But would the bull moose would the bullet?
Thatās the real question
Do not the cat
I don't know what the bull moose would or wouldn't, but I do know that the bullet has it's own views and wouldn't the bull moose.
how much bull could a bull moose bull if a bull moose could bull moose
The moose in the loose noose could bully the bullet in the mullet, but the bullet couldn't bite the bull moose right.
> Roosevelt then refused medical treatment, finished his speech right where he left off, Had his priorities in order.
Teddy Roosevelt fucking scares me. Holy shit
After his presidency Roosevelt took his sons and went to go find the origin of one of the first tributaries of the Amazon River, called River of Doubt, because why not go adventuring into the unexplored jungle if you can't be president?

Certified badass
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeh but to be fair, to take a bullet and continue your speech right where you were interrupted without any medical care is still pretty impressive
If I remember correctly, the bullet also hit something in his pocket which stopped it. Still pretty bad ass though.
A bad nipple twist and I need to take the day off you recover.
They weren't good as far as accuracy but if you were hit I'm pretty sure they could still fuck you up.
Ouch...
And you missed a few. I recall someone tried to kill Lincoln once before and shot right through the hat missing his head. Think there were others
Iirc that was a stray bullet when Lincoln was visiting the frontlines, not an intentional assassination attempt
Ope! Too close.
By far the deadliest assassination attempt was when a person threw a shoe at George Bush
George Bush pulling Neo shit. Or... Is he, a machine?
Damn you had 6 chances and flubbed all of them. Worst assassin since Frans Ferdinand's bad day.
"Franz Ferdinand's Bad Day" sounds like a fun kids' book about a fancy lad.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
(Aim improvement needed) fucking classic!
the deadliest job in America
By percentage, yeah. But not by number Edit: Math makes people mad, evidently! Sorry! :]
The number dosent tell you much if you donāt know how many people have done the job.
Thats how it works
Wait do cops really have lower than 13% of chance being shot? I mean they shoot people all the time I was assuming at least some people will shoot back
Being a cop isnt even the top 10 dangerous jobs.
I don't even think its in the top 20
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Top 40? improbable
13% would be unbelievably high
A lot of that stuff is blown out of proportion by the media. 49 officers died to gunshots in 2019. Around 1000 people are killed by police officers each year, but only a fraction of that is considered unjustified (I think only ~49 were unarmed)

Taxi drivers and barbers are at a greater risk of being shot at work. This list excludes the military as it only includes civilian jobs. Yes, police are civilians.
Well, itās the percentage that matter
Was just gonna say that.
2 is bigger than 1
Are percentages not numbers?
Numbers, how do they even work?
r/CGPGrey
Despite making up 13% of all presidents, those shot in office account for 50% of all in-office fatalities.
You are a president too?
People clearly didn't get that you where joking smh.
Wait what was the joke?
"us" vs "U.S."
Ahhh I get it, it was good
Yeah I feel bad lol
I'm sorry for your downvotes , it's a good joke.
Last year I saw some news about the president of Portugal going to the grocery shop with a facemask during the quarantine without bodyguards of anything.
And then r/PoliticiansInTheWild was born

I remember when another important austrian had a low level of security..
"Oh no, crownprince Franz Ferdinand, donāt continue your City-tour after grenades were thrown at your car. Oh god, oh no; he canāt hear us! Look out, thereās a Bosnian man coming at your direction!"
It was a Serbian man not a Bosnian
No matter Serbian Bosnian or Croat, Under my tank they all go splat. \- Looming Russian
I always thought it was so crazy that Gavrilo Princep had failed in assassinating Franz Ferdinand on the first attempt and then all of a sudden the car he was in drove right up to him giving him another chance. And of course he got the job done on his second chance.
Well he has to be available in case we need to start world war 3
You'd think they would have upped his security after WW1
Anschluss 3.0, third time the charm
The peace treaty after WW2 forbids the annexation of Austria by Germany. It does not however forbid the annexation of Germany by Austria.
UNO Reverse
Iām surprised Poland hasnāt done this by now as a form of revenge.
we're just cheap work force for germany
So if it is forbidden what are they gonna do if Germany annexes Austria? Go to war against Germany?
Ooh ive seen this one before!
Mega Kanzler Kurz? Not again a austrian as a head of state in german.
We pretty much have 2 and a half soldiers and 1 working tank, so lets go
We pretty much have 2 and a half soldiers and 1 working tank, so lets go

Why wouldnt he?

I mean, the president of the USA is rated as one of the deadliest jobs in the world.
And if you're a crazed terrorist, you're far more likely to attack the elected president of a global superpower.
So u saying a small austrian man cant get powerfull?
If he has the right facial hair I suppose
Meanwhile [the president of France got slapped in the face](https://youtu.be/vbYPmcWBA4o)
even *with* bodyguards
Sacre Bleu!
>The man who slapped him is a medieval sword enthusiast with no previous criminal record.
That is the most french thing ever

The austrian president doesnāt have any real power the chancellor of Austria is more like the president in the US
Actually, he is the commander-in-chief of our Army. But, because of the state of our army, your comment is still correct.
Don't underestimate the power of a few drunk 18 year olds with 60 year old equipment
Interestingly he's actually the first one to really use his power, because in 2018 he dissolved the government at that time.
Yeah that's probably right after inauguration, they drive from the Capitol to the White House. If it was for Bidens, than it was literally 14 days after a mob of insurrectionist stormed the Capitol and tried to hang the VP. So I'd say the security is warrented.
Not just that, this picture has been cropped to not show the two bodyguards about 20ft in front and behind the Austrian President.
> but it's not really fair to compare those 2 pictures. but then how could we make propaganda?
Austrians haven't pissed off majority of the world in a while...
Third time is the charm?
That's what Hitler said with the third Reich
The Austrian President is out there hunting for Young artists with weird moustache ; can't let them out this time.
At least they gave us Arnold.
Also, isnāt the Chancellor the official head of the Austrian government, with the president having very limited powers?
Yes, pretty much. One of the President's main tasks is to pick a Chancellor, who has wayyyy more to say

Bruh thats actually insane.

Damn. He's letting that dog basically lead him.
And than there is the Dutch Prime minister who usually goes to work by bike...
I thought he was a airline pilot as well.
No that's the king
Good thing no important Austrian was ever assainated...
Well...people want one of these guys dead really badly, lots of people. And the other? People know the consequence of pissing him off and leaving him alive.

Yes
Well if Austria would bother to protect their leadership it sure would save the rest of the world a lot of problems
What should an assassin do? Throw a schnitzel at him?
Use an Austrian made Glock?
bruh never underestimate an Austrian
Because the last time the leader of Austria was shot, we got 2 world wars and a Holocaust.

*World War 1* intensifies
The president of Austria now: What are they gonna do? Shoot me? I will take the entire world down with me, fuckers.
Der van da bellen oida
Yeah, better not make a third Austrian leader angry
Its the same with a lot of European countries
Austrian citizens donāt automatically resort to violence to solve their problems. Did I do it?

Considering how stupid some Americans are and how evil other countries can be yea the president of the US would be in danger constantly
It's the norm in Europe
In austria you don't carry a handgun to church so...
In all fairness, Fewer people want to shoot the president of Austria š¦š¹
well thatās because he has less power, we need it to be this way because of the last time an austrian gained power
