The theory that Long was killed by a ricochet bullet from his own bodyguards is plausible. And as noted by many he should have survived with better doctors and medical care.
Weiss though started the whole chain of events. He didn't have to go to the state capital to talk to Long and he didn't have to punch him for calling his father in a law a racial slur. The point is that racism meant that calling his father in law a racial slur and implying that Weiss's child was black was grounds enough for Weiss to assault Long. That the response to the slur had to be physical violence to some how preserve his family honor.
Sad that the lie that his child had black blood made Weiss do that.

FDR paid off his bodyguards.

Why were the pulling straws to kill him? What was the motive?

Wait…so Huey P Long, who is loved and praised by “progressives” in Louisiana, used a racial slur? Man…alone should have been enough for someone to murder him, right?

If you asked a considerable number of younger people today, they would probably tell you that they are sure that Israel was behind it, even though Israel wasn’t even a nation yet.
