A Day To Remember November 22, 1963

The throat wound was found to be an inch lower than Kennedy’s adams apple, and the Warren Commission had it an inch lower than that. The location was not where the Warren Commission said it was at because there was no bullet hole there, and there was no bullet damage to his tie (“Who Killed president Kennedy”). There was damage to his tie, but that couldn’t have been caused by the bullet. It was caused by a surgical instrument. The reason it couldn’t have been caused by a bullet is because there was copper found around the bullet hole in his shirt, but none on the tie (“Who Killed president Kennedy”). Another big problem was the location of the back wound. It is identified to be between four and six inches below the top of the shirt collar. Therefore, the bullet hole in Kennedy’s back was lower than the one that exited his throat (Flynn). If Oswald did shoot from the sixth-floor window, there is no way that the bullet could have entered four to six inches below the shirt collar as described in the autopsy and exited through his throat. The bullet would have been following a downward path and, therefore, would have exited lower than it entered (Flynn). This means that the two wounds were either caused by separate bullets, or that the bullet was fired from somewhere other than the sixth-floor window. There should also be at least one more bullet to account for the wounds

It was believed in the “Oswald lone shooting” theory that he shot one bullet. From educated background knowledge about rifles, the rifle believed to be used in the assassination might have been accurate enough to get the job done, but at the angle and height it would have been almost impossible to make the shot. That bullet was believed to have traveled from the sixth floor of the book depository on a downward slant. It had to be timed perfectly considering the target was moving at fourteen miles an hour. While this seems like a hard shot to make already, the bullet entered Kennedy's back and then moved upward on an apparent ricochet, out his throat and into John Connelly’s chest, where it created seven wounds all together (“JFK Assassination”). “There is no way that one bullet was shot. In the video Kennedy moves more than once” (Bradford). Many people have doubted the one bullet

On November 22,1963,President Kennedy was in attendance at a Dallas parade.One of the biggest tragic moments happened in U.S. history before the naked eye.President John F. Kennedy was assassinated around 12:34 p.m.as he celebrated with the Dallas crowd to show admiration towards them and their city(Mintaglio 60).The suspected assassin Robert L.

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,

On November 29, 1963, our 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. A young and vigorous leader who was a victim of the fourth Presidential assassination in the history of a country. This assassination was known as a world tragedy, and a great lost to our nation. Many conspiracies were formed while the investigation of his assassination was undergoing, making his case unsolved. But with the many conspiracies, the assassination caused a lot of effect on our country over the years. Making the JFK assassination a remarkable case.

Who remembers where they were November 22, 1963? , The fateful day President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. My mother was only three and she remembers the day. She was in the living room of her childhood home when a crying neighbor called my Grandmother and broke the news. The telephone call was the beginning of a chain reaction that sent the entire house into uncontrollable mayhem. The event had that effect on the entire nation. Men and women, Democrats and Republicans, adults and children mourned the loss of their fallen leader.

Nearly everyone old enough to remember knows exactly what they were doing on November 22, 1963. The impingement of his death caused a public exigency for information, made television necessary and created an environment of information overload. Kennedy's assassination shocked the world. People were glued to their television screens as they observed a mixture of fact, speculation, and unfiltered drama as one of the most important events in history unfolded before their eyes.

November 22, 1963 is a day Jacqueline Kennedy will remember forever. Around 11:30 a.m. Jackie and her husband, the president, John F. Kennedy arrived in Dallas, Texas. Jackie was excited to be in Dallas, but she also knew this trip could determine if her husband would be re-elected. At noon, the motorcade headed toward downtown Dallas. Everything was perfect; the people loved Mr. Kennedy. At 12:29, Nellie Conally, the wife of Texas governor, turns to the president and says,”Mr. President, you can’t say Dallas doesn’t love you.” This was the last thing John F. Kennedy heard before he was shot. He replied with, “No, you certainly can’t.” Seconds later Jackie turns to her right and sees her husband has been shot once

This links to the conspiracy theory in the sense that the theories were right or had one thing in common, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy. The conclusion by Warren report is based on the following information. The murder weapon was Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5-millimeter Italian rifle which was owned by Oswald. Oswald was also seen to carry the rifle into the building on the morning of the incident. After the assassination the rifle was found hidden and covered with the paper bag used by Oswald to carry the rifle (Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy). Jack Rubby later seeing no other way to silence Oswald , opt for one solution, murder. And that is how Oswald met his death "Assassination of John F. Kennedy". According to Waldron (6) the investigation led Congress in 1979 to make a conclusion that JFK was killed as a result of conspiracy where Carlos Marcello had the motives, means as well as the opportunity. Waldron (20) argue further that as John became President and Robert being attorney General, they tried in vain to convict Marcello as part of their massive efforts to end organized crime .The war against the mob eventually became Marcello's reason to kill JFK. It is believed, by historians that FBI had not followed up on the House Committee’s of 1979 recommendation to investigate Marcello further for JFK's

“The minute the car stopped, the secret service rushed at Johnson and formed a cordon around him,” noted Yarborough. “I heard one of them say ‘Mr. President’ to Johnson and then I knew that Kennedy was dead.”(Netzley 31). On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was killed by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald, or so they say. At this time the president was with his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy and Governor Connally. “President Kennedy was shot twice, once in the throat and once in the head” (Netzley 30). Governor Connally was shot once. The bullet traveled through the right side of his chest, then into his right hand, and through his left thigh. (Netzley 30). Three ways the assassination of John F. Kennedy impacted the 1960’s include; a large

According to HSCAs analysis of the film, the bullet arrived much too late to have been the one which wounded Kennedy, and much too early for both to have been fired from the same rifle by Oswald. Based on the recording of the gunshots fired in Dealey Plaza that was captured over a police radio. A total of 7 impulses were caught on the tape. The HSCA had 4 of them analyzed. The analysis concluded that all 4 were gunshots, two of them occurring within 1/2 a second of each other. It is close to impossible for one man to fire from that same gun that quick especially with the amount of accuracy. The existence of 5, rather than just 3, gunshots destroyed the warren commission’s idea that Oswald was the only gunman. The committee did not believe or have evidence that would prove the, Cuban government, the FBI, the CIA or Secret Service were involved in the assassination. Instead they figured there was a high possibility that individual members of either may have been involved. Some critics suggest that the scenario was made up in order to explain how a one lone gunman could have fired the shots in that amount of time. With the position of JFK and Connally in the limousine, the bullet would have had to change course in midair to travel as proposed by the single bullet theory. Connally was seen holding his hat in his right hand, which raised more suspicion since he was supposedly wounded in his right wrist by the single bullet. Both the hat and the hand are visible in the Zapruder film are seen for several seconds after Kennedy comes into view while clutching at his throat. “As late as frame 268, more than two seconds after frame 225, Connally’s hand is gripping his hat tightly, his

As we walk through the facts of the story, we understand that Kennedy sitting with his wife and governor Connally as they drove through Dallas, and that shots were fired from the book depository in which Oswald fired. My friend sets to believe in the “single bullet theory” which concludes that the same bullet that struck Kennedy in the back and exited through his throat was the same bullet that struck governor Connally. Something I find was attributed more for their desire to explain what happened before the facts were completely gathered with the comical coincidence of finding the bullet on a gurney i the corridor at the hospital which also remained completely intact. This theory is essential in maintaining the idea that Oswald acted alone. While my argument is dependent on opposing the accepted dialogue given by the federal

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, after almost three years as president (Wilentz, Sean). He was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding in a car through downtown Dallas, Texas (Wilentz, Sean). His death came as a great shock to America, similar to when Callahan heard of the justices’ death (Grisham). The entire world mourned Kennedy’s death, and the funeral proceedings were all very public (Wilentz, Sean).

Within days of Kennedy’s assassination, Oswald was also shot, by Jack Ruby (Domina, Thurston). After the death of President Kennedy, vice
