Topic > Who assassinated John F. Kennedy? - 2142

“Who is he?” may be one of the most frequently asked questions when talking about the assassination of the thirty-fifth president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. That particular question will also receive a wide variety of answers. Over the past forty-eight years, various theories have spread around the world and led to suspicions about the real identity of the assassin, or vengeful assassins, who killed President Kennedy. There are any number of bizarre theories that suggest impossible scenarios about who pulled the trigger, while other proposals seem to fit the equation perfectly. Some people believe that Lee Harvey Oswald, the man officially accused of killing the president, acted alone, while others believe that there were many people who planned the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Due to multiple conspiracy theories, contrary evidence, and unanswered questions, Lee Harvey Oswald could not have been the sole assassin of John F. Kennedy, President of the United States. Everyone who was alive at the time remembers where they were on November 22, 1963, but not everyone knows what really happened on that formidable afternoon. On this day in Dallas, Texas, John F. Kennedy was riding in an open limousine with his wife, Jackie Kennedy, along with Texas Governor John Connally and his wife. The President was traveling in a motorcade headed to a luncheon with civic and business leaders when the tragedy occurred (Korte). It was on Elm Street that the shots heard around the world were fired. Public opinion claims that three shots were fired with intent to kill. The last shot, with extreme precision, lodged in the head of President John F. Kennedy and in a few moments ended his life. The assassination... in the center of the sheet... the tragedy of November 22, 1963 struck the world. Perhaps not much is known about that day, but one thing is true: Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Works Cited Calloff, Pamelattall, Michael.
