(45,251 posts)I should have done that before I responded.
The portion of my prior post that discusses wiki generally is correct. However, I do see that this:
"On March 1, 1972, Bremer began his diary with the words, "It is my personal plan to assassinate by pistol either Richard Nixon or George Wallace. I intend to shoot one or the other while he attends a campaign rally for the Wisconsin Primary." Bremer's purpose was "to do SOMETHING BOLD AND DRAMATIC, FORCEFUL & DYNAMIC, A STATEMENT of my manhood for the world to see."[13]"
Funny how that last sentences changes the impression left by quoting only the first sentence, isn't it?
The wiki doesn't explain why he did not think of assassinating any of the other primary candidates, so it still raises more questions than it answers. Maybe he thought that Nixon and Wallace were the likeliest nominees?
