@lindseylvisser: On September 8th, 1901, with President McKinleys life in the balance, the world wanted to know who was Leon Czolgosz (alias Fred Nieman) and why did he do what he did? In a tragedy like this, people want the circumstances to match the scale of the consequences. But in truth, Leon Czolgosz was unremarkable and his motive for the act was the belief that no one man should have so much power. But the story doesn’t end here.
