Talk:Anton Cermak

message: No comment at all about his death?  From the FDR article:
In Miami an unemployed bricklayer called Joseph Zangara fired five shots at Roosevelt, missing him but killing the Mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak. Zangara, who was later executed, said he had shot at Roosevelt because "the capitalists killed my life." --Tony Hecht 01:18, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Unsure how/where to include this.  In  Medinah CC's archives is a brochure tha features an ad from Cermak: "Counting the covers, the pamphlet is composed of twenty-four pages.... Many pages are multiple black and white block style local adverts...and there is a super "A.J. Cermak - Democratic Candidate - United States Senator From Illinois - Member Medinah Country Club" ad."--Robertkeller 21:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think this article contradicts what is said in Giuseppe Zangara. According to that article Zangara fired six shots, Cermak was sitting next to FDR, and he hit five (not six) people. Compare:
" Zangara repeatedly said, and the Miami Police agreed with him that he never got off more than three rounds from his pistol.[citation needed] Furthermore, Zangara's pistol was manufactured to fire five rounds, yet police recovered seven bullets from the scene.[citation needed] Later, while Roosevelt waited in the halls of the Jackson Memorial Hospital where Cermak was being treated, he pointed out to his Secret Service detail, that not one of the six people shot was near him when they were hit.[citation needed] In fact, they were at least thirty feet away from him, but only two or three feet away from Cermak.[citation needed]"
and 
"Zangara took a .32 caliber pistol, purchased at a local pawn shop, and joined the crowd. However, being only five feet tall, he was unable to see over other people and had to stand on a wobbly, folding, metal chair, peering over the hat of Lilian Cross, a doctor's wife, to get a clear aim at his target. After the first shot, Mrs. Cross and others grabbed his arm and he fired five more shots wildly. He missed the President-Elect. Five other people were hit including Chicago mayor Anton Cermak, who was sitting next to FDR."

replies: text: I deleted som of the text here. . Perhaps this: "Roosevelt added Zangara had not fired a single shot at him during the eight-minute window that was his speech.[citation needed] Roosevelt concluded that Zangara was 'a Chicago gangster' sent to kill Cermak and said as much for the rest of his life.[citation needed] " is true but there is no source for it.

thread_title:  Contradicts other article 

message: The first sentence seems unclear about how the name is to be pronounced.  It says the orig. pron. is Chermack, but it is not clear whether this is the American pronunciation.  The street named after him is pronounced Sirmack.  I don't know if this is a change over time or represents the way the mayor's name was pronounced, but I'd appreciate a clarification.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.225.34.181 (talk) 11:50, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  pronunciation of his name 

message: As it is only a theory (and does not seem well-supported) that Cermak was the intended target, and he did not strictly speaking die of his inflicted wounds, is it correct to say that he was assassinated? Frank Mottley (talk) 06:28, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
