The Assassination of John F. Kennedy

To do something as big as assassinating a President, multiple people of high power would need to be involved. If JFK were the target of a lone, crazed gunman, I believe he would have been shot at a closer range. Whoever shot President John F. Kennedy was trained and had been preparing to commit this act of evil for a long period of time. On top of that, in order for the shooter to escape without being caught, even if he or she was located on the sixth floor of Texas School Book Depository building, they would have to have others there to help them escape without being seen. I don’t believe that conspiracy had anything to do with the death of JFK, I simply believe that a group of people who disagreed with the decisions of JFK became fed-up with him and the government which led to a terrible

The JFK assassination is said to be done by only one person, but this essay will tell you that it is wrong. It is said the Oswald is the sole sniper that killed the president. Well, Oswald did shot the gun, but he did not kill the President, someone else worked with Oswald on this assassination. In this court case, Oswald and Oswald alone was proven guilty for killing the President. Oswald had gotten killed later from a gunshot before he went to prison. In the 1963 controversial court case of JFK assassination, the guilty verdict incorrectly prosecuted only Lee Harvey Oswald because of the direction of the bullet, the Grassy Knoll, and the CIA involvement.

The unusual signs just prior to the Kennedy’s assassination led to some questions but everything went as planned because of the smoothness of executing the plan. Consequently, the Presidents car leaving the parade at ten miles an hour and left Oswald with a easier shot at President Kennedy. Also, the Presidents car leaving the parade through the new route was closer to Oswald’s hideout(John F.Kennedy Assassination Homepage).Subsequently,the new route disorientated the police guards at there post and it made the view for Oswald’s shot unmistakable at President Kennedy(Sneed 311).With everyone hearing a high powered rifle being shot, police had a tough time looking for the accurate suspect with a rifle because almost everyone in Dallas had one in there truck during the hunting season(Minutaglio 149).Thus,evidence showed that the assassination was well planned.

John F. Kennedy, the youngest elected and first catholic president was campaigning for a second term when he was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

The next part of this paper will explore some of the conspiracy surrounding the assassination of JFK. There is a lot of conspiracy surrounding how Kennedy was killed. Questions like who killed him, where he was shot, what kind of bullet killed him, and where the bullet came

By April 2013, 59% of Americans polled believed that JFK was assassinated by more than one person, including Oswald, and that they were involved in a conspiracy (AEI). For the sake of clarity, conspiracy theory is defined as; a theory that explains an event or situation as the result of a secret plan by usually powerful people or groups. In reality, there have been sinister conspiracies a foot, in the past. For example, a small group of people in the business community plotted to over throw FDR because they believed he was a part of a communist conspiracy. However, when they tried to enlist the help of retired general Smedley Butler, he reported them to congress.There are also government conspiracy’s that turned out to be true as well.

One conspiracy says that Lyndon Johnson had Kennedy killed. This conspiracy is believed by Jackie Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. Johnson was a political rival of Kennedy and Johnson wanted to beat Kennedy and become president no matter what it would take. Johnson had many people killed before 1960. Kennedy appointed Johnson as a running mate to unify the democratic party. Johnson became vice president to Kennedy because Kennedy did not want his affairs to be made public (LBJ Killed JFK). Johnson told Americans to stop thinking about Kennedy’s assassination (The Truth Is Out There). It is believed that Johnson had Kennedy

The unrest of the 1960s reached a boiling point in 1968, a year that can be considered the most turbulent year in American history. The tumultuous events that took place in 1968 effectively transformed the face of the nation in every aspect; economically, socially, and politically. Failed military tactics, assassinations, and violent civil rights movements were the defining characteristics of 1968. Despite the few good things that came out of that year, much of 1968 was dedicated to rebuilding the country, tragedy after tragedy. The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, involvement in the Vietnam War, and escalating civil rights movements are a few of the quintessential events that contributed to

The death of Kennedy remains a mystery despite numerous investigations which have since been carried. There have been no conclusive prove that Oswald murdered the president and even if he did, people still do not believe that he acted alone as reported by the Warren Commission.
