1968 vs 2020: Compare and contrast

[wease]

At this point in 1968, you also had two prominent voices for changes in systemic racism assassinated. And one was a presidential candidate. We’ve not had that yet, but we may be closer than we really know.

It's a shame there's never any good assassinations anymore.

I actually have more vivid memories of seeing Buckwheat getting shot than I do Reagan.

I was genuinely reporting on my personal situation (and perspective). I get the US importance here - no doubt those were, and these are, momentous times for the world.

Keep on RitFW, peeps.

The last what?

Not plot to assassinate, obviously. Not the last active attempt, either. The last one that nearly achieved their end?

Actually active attempt was what I was looking for. Who has there been since Reagan?

It just seems like we are parsing this out by level of success. People have tried to fly planes into the White House, and a man opened fire into the White House because he thought God had told him to kill Barack Obama. When you talk about Reagan, you’re just talking about the last time security fucked up enough to allow contact.
