This article claims there were no injuries in the cafe bombing carried out by Auguste Vaillant, but that article states that there were.Yorkist (talk) 15:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The bombing in question concerns the Chamber of Deputies, not the cafe. The bombing of a cafe was at the hands of Emile Henry.
It seems the question here is what is meant by "hurt". The link in the Auguste Vaillant article (which oddly enough actually contradicts the article itself in the number of injuries) says that the bomb only caused twenty deputies to be "sligthly injured". The Emile Henry is not necessarily in contradiction, if you consider that his anger for the execution of Vaillant concerns an incident that didn't cause any fatalities, no one got "hurt". This is relative to a scenario of death penalty. Maziotis (talk) 19:15, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Maziotis. I meant to refer to the Chamber of Deputies bombing by Vaillant, not the cafe bombing by Henry, so thanks for pointing out that error. But we still have the contradiction; How many injured deputies? None, one, or twenty? Not a huge issue, since all sources seem to state the injuries were minor. Still, I think it's worth leaving the tags here until someone with access to some original sources comes along.Yorkist (talk) 09:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found a translation of Henry's Defense Speech online that I will use to replace the dead link currently on the article. I am not subbing out the text -- there are minor differences -- but my goal is to give a working source. Hope that makes sense. chomsky1 (talk) 13:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an external link that I found that could be related to this article however it's in French so I'm not sure.

Death?

[edit]

I assume he was executed for his bombing, but the article nowhere states that. One should not assume. For years I thought Pricip, the assassin of Franz Ferdinand, was executed, but found out he died of tuberculosis after WWI. Bigmac31 (talk) 16:19, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
