Talk:John F. Schrank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article fails to include the most amazing aspect of the assassination attempt. The Schrank bullet traveled through a thick manuscript and metal glasses case in Teddy Roosevelt's coat. The bullet was slowed substantially, but it still drew a significant amount of blood from Teddy. Instead of going to a hospital, Teddy insisted on giving the speech he was scheduled to give. During the speech, he opened his coat and exposed his blood-soaked shirt. No bullet was going to slow down Teddy Roosevelt.
The current version of the article doesn't say *anything* about the actual assassination attempt. Joel K. 'Jay' Furr 21:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I added the details of the assassination attempt that I found on Teddy Roosevelt's page. $cammer 01:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
