How did the American president who claimed to be under the "world's first" security be assassinated many times?

If someone asks, what is the most powerful occupation in the world? Then I think many people may answer: the president of the United States.

But if someone asks at the same time, is the president of the United States a high-risk occupation? Maybe everyone will hesitate.

In fact, the president of the United States is really a high-risk profession.

How risky is the president of the United States? The death rate of high-rise construction workers recognized in the world is about 0.04%, but the probability of assassination of the president of the United States is as high as 8.9%. At the same time, nine American presidents were assassinated and threatened with various lives. So far, there are 45 American presidents, 20% of whom have been assassinated. It can be seen that the risk factor of its occupation is high.

So why is the American president so risky? In the so-called? Number one in the world? Under the security of the United States, how did the president of the United States repeatedly get into trouble? In fact, in history, American presidents have been assassinated many times. But there are various reasons. The first president to be assassinated was andrew jackson. This great man was the first civilian president in that year, which pioneered the American presidential atmosphere, but the reason for his assassination was even more legendary.

1October 30th,1835,65438+andrew jackson attended a funeral, but at that moment, a man suddenly jumped out of the crowd, holding a pistol almost against the president's chest and pulled the trigger. However, at this critical moment, the gun actually got stuck. This is simply a world-class anecdote. Then, just as the gunman was about to pull out another gun to shoot, President Andrew picked up his cane and waved it with a jerk, using the skills accumulated in his youth to subdue the assassin to the ground.

But even more bizarre, after investigation, it was found that this person's name was Richard Lawrence. It is not clear where he came from, but one thing is clear: he is crazy. As a result, this product was directly put into an insane asylum.

This is the beginning of some kind of spell, and since then, almost all the people who assassinated the president of the United States have been enchanted? Crazy? . Coincidentally, the first civilian prime minister in Japanese history, Yuangui, was also assassinated, and the head of state from a civilian background was more vulnerable to the spell of assassination, which began.

Andrew jackson survived the assassination with a one-in-a-billion chance, but the next assassinated Mr. abraham lincoln was not so lucky. As one of the greatest presidents in American history. In a sense, President Lincoln recreated the United States and maintained its unity, but it was also hated by southern separatists.

1865 On the evening of April 14, Lincoln was watching a play in the theater. The assassin sneaked into the theater, pushed the pistol to the back of Lincoln's head and then pulled the trigger. The commoner-born president died.

Needless to say, the reason for the assassination was that fanatical southern separatists hated Lincoln.

A hundred years later, another president was assassinated, and that was Kennedy.

1963165438+1October 22nd, Kennedy's motorcade passed through the most prosperous area in Dallas, which is the consistent embodiment of his pro-people action. Kennedy was shot when the motorcade passed the Texas textbook warehouse. The murderer's first bullet went through his throat very accurately, and the second bullet hit his skull.

This has produced a world-class unsolved case of Kennedy assassination. In the following three years, all key witnesses of 15 died strangely, and in the following years, other witnesses of 1 15 died unexpectedly. Therefore, this assassination is also very strange, making countless people curious about the truth.

So what is the potential reason behind the repeated assassinations of American presidents? The man who assassinated the president of the United States is usually considered to be? Mental illness? Among them, the most incredible is the one who assassinated President Reagan. The name of the goods is John hinkley. At that time, the cargo fired six shots at Reagan, one of which directly hit the lungs, causing massive bleeding. But Reagan was blessed by the gods and survived, and almost recovered in only 13 days.

The key question is, did the court identify him later? It was probably normal before the shooting. Did you have any mental illness when shooting? As for how to do it, the key lies in the excellent play of defense lawyers. Anyway, in a word, in addition to being put in the hospital, you can only go home regularly? Other than that, there are basically no serious consequences.

However, some of his colleagues are unlucky. For example, the anarchist who assassinated President william mckinley was caught red-handed and executed. Another example is that President Ford of the United States was assassinated by two women in 1975. Not only did the assassination fail, but both of them were sentenced to life imprisonment.

According to statistics, there are several reasons for assassinating the President of the United States:

1. Insanity, represented by the assassins of Reagan and andrew jackson.

2. Political differences, such as the assassination of President Garfield and faction Charles, are typical examples, and this product finally died. So did President Lincoln.

3. Racism or anarchy, such as Truman being assassinated by two Puerto Rican racists.

However, in these assassinations, there is a very interesting question that has to be asked: Why is a very important person like the President of the United States so easy to be assassinated?

In fact, this is really a difficult problem to explain.

As one of the most closely protected figures in the world, the personal bodyguard around the president of the United States spends a lot of money on training. The security work of the president of the United States is divided into multiple levels, except for individuals? Black and bald? In addition, there are about 300 police officers and a lot of intelligence work in the periphery.

The key is that this system is gradually improved. For example, when Lincoln was assassinated, his bodyguard actually deserted (there is also a legend that it was inspired by Stanton, then Secretary of the Army). When Kennedy was assassinated, all the snipers and inspectors who were supposed to ambush in the periphery were blind. This has exposed that the security loopholes of the US President at that time were too big.

The only successful case was the assassination of Reagan. At that time, Reagan was pushed into a bulletproof car just after the gunman fired the first of six bullets. As a result, Reagan was just shot (which he later thought was an act of God). His bodyguard McCarthy took a bullet for him and saved his life.

So today, the very complicated security system of the president of the United States can be said to have been completely destroyed? Forced out? . In order to prevent terrorists from attacking the president remotely by special means, the president of the United States always has a medical team around him. However, even so, the president of the United States may encounter some unexpected dangers. When the president of the United States looks glamorous, the actual danger may be unimaginable.
