JFK Assassination
JFK Assassination
On Friday, November 22, 1963, while enroute to the Dallas airport, President John Fitzgearald Kennedy was fatally shot. ABC’s newsanchor Walter Cronkite said that it would be “a day that will live in infamy.” The reason that that fateful Friday is still talked about is the controversy surrounding the assassination. The official investigators determined that the president was killed by a lone gunman, but every single piece of evidence – from eye witnesses to forensic evidence – points to at 2 or more gunmen, and a conspiracy, possibly involving government officials. According to the Warren Commission Report : Report of President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, published in 1964, President Kennedy was shot by lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. The report states that Oswald fired three shots from an Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, while standing at a half-open window on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, located at Dealy Plaza, 411 Elm Street in Dallas, Texas, where Oswald was employed. Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally both were hit by bullets. The report states that of the three bullets that were fired, one hit Kennedy from behind, entering his shoulder, the second fired hit Connally in the hip, and the third was the fatal blow, which entered Kennedy’s head from the back. Everything that the Warren Commission reported was simply unsupported lies and discrepancies. Regardless of different “conspiracy theorists” conclusions, they all agree that the Warren Commission’s report was greatly flawed.
The first big problem with the investigation occurred the day after Kennedy’s death, on November 23, 1963. The suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald was killed in the basement of the Dallas police station, by a local bar owner, Jack Ruby. Even though previously an attempt had been made to kill Oswald, no further security precautions had been taken to prevent this from happening again. The fact that reporters were allowed to be around Oswald as he was escorted out of court was plain irresponsibility on the part of the Dallas police. Public access to Oswald should not have been permitted under any circumstance. Oswald was murdered in front of cameras and video footage of the incident shows that the police didn’t make Oswald being shot by Jack Ruby.
hardly any attempts to prevent the murder, but literally just stood there. Many people have found this to be extremely suspicious. Some believe that Jack Ruby killed...
