"The Assassination of President Kennedy" will explore the key conclusions of the controversial Warren Commission, as well as the shocking impact of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, ahead of the 50th anniversary on November 22.
Maybe Oswald would have eventually admitted it. He probably is upset that a bunch of gullible people consider him innocent! Of course Oswald did it. Why did he resist arrest?
I was drawn into the whole assassination thing in high school when assigned a term paper on the Magic Bullet. 40+ years later I'm still learning more. I find it impossible to believe Oswald -- and only Oswald -- pulled this off, and Ruby killed him because he was upset. Back then there was a long list of who wanted Kennedy dead: Castro, CIA. Russians, Mafia, Lyndon Johnson and even the Military/Industrial complex. Depending on which book(s) you read, cases can be made for all angles. Was there a cover-up? C'mon, there are just too many inconsistencies with the evidence, or lack thereof, to say Oswald did it. Alone.
I was four years old when JFK was shot. I remember my Mother screaming then crying! I never saw my Mother upset before. The feeling has stuck with me for fifty years!
I was in class in the 4th grade. People were running toward the grassy knoll after the shooting,I think a shot came from there, the shot that blew his brains out.
Several days later, we drove to Arlington, VA to spend Thanksgiving with my maternal grandparents, who lived in Annandale, VA. A classmate of mine went to Martinique with his family for the holiday. In Martinique, people asked his parents, "Will there be a coup in America?"
A month later, we went back to Arlington for Christmas. My dad took my brothers and me to Arlington Cemetery. We didn't attempt to join the line to see the eternal flame at the grave, because the line was so long and six people across. I didn't actually see Kennedy's grave up close until around 1997. On that day in '63, we stood just up the hill, on the lawn of Arlington, and looked back down the slope toward the grave.
His secret service escort agent shot him with their ar-15. As the agent turned to the director of Oswald the follow up vehicle sped up and it threw the agent off balance and he discharged the weapon. .223 frangible
I was in 4th grade, Verona,Ms, at recess, playing on the maypole. Boy came up and said pres was dead and laughed. School closed, rode the bus home. Mom was crying at home. It was an awful feeling. We were so sad
Show so far looks to be done very well. Sadly, we'll never know the truth. And even if someone came out and told the truth, who would believe it after all this time, and all the various conspiracies out there?
Even today it seems kind of surreal: I can't imagine what it was like then. It's like some crazy movie script: only 911 strikes me as some thing parallel in scope and intensity.
I was sitting in my 6th grade classroom when the Principal came in and announced that President Kennedy had been shot and killed in Dallas, Tx. School was dismissed early that day. I, along with the rest of the country, was in shock as I remained glued to our black and white TV for the next several days.
