Assassination attempt on JFK? The Lego book is telling me he lived?
some attempts succeed
Is that how it works? I always thought that attempt = try but failed. If it succeeds it's an assassination, not an assassination attempt (same as murder v attempted murder) (sincere question)
yeah, you can speak about "attempting" to do something before knowing the outcome, so i don't think failure is baked in. i can't really speak to the legal concept.
but the book also includes the lincoln assassination. i guess a book of only failed attempts was too thin even for a lego history coffee table book, so they had to pad it out a bit with the successful ones.
Ty for explanation o7
