JFK
As a society, there are many examples of world history. One example would have to be the John Fitzgerald Kennedy assassination. For over thirty years, Americans were led to believe that a single gunman shot and killed John F. Kennedy. In this paper, I will dispute the facts that show a single gunman was involved and show a conspiracy must have taken place. According to the facts regarding the case of the John F. Kennedy's assassination, a single gunman killed Kennedy. On November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time, Kennedy was riding in an open limousine through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was shot in the head and neck by a sniper. He was then taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Later, police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine, at a nearby theater. By the next morning, Oswald was charged with the murder of President John F. Kennedy. Two days later, Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner, killed Oswald while he was being moved from the city to the county jail. The above story sounds as if this should have been an open-and-shut case. After all, according to the information stated above, Oswald must have killed Kennedy. However, one must take a deeper look into the facts surrounding thi
When keeping this in mind, it is expected that witnesses heard the shot at some point after the bullet passed. The following shows a break down of the frames of the Zapruder film: Many people dispute the single bullet theory, but to understand why, you must understand the path of the bullet and the angles involved. The bullet, if fired from the Texas School Book Depository, should have hit Kennedy at a 21-degree angle, and, in fact, it did. Also, President Kennedy was sitting nearly six inches above the level of Connally's seat. When the bullet left the President, it hit Connally, who was turned 15-20 degrees. When the bullet hit Connally, the hole in his back was 5/8 inches wide by 1/4 inches high, or more than twice as wide as tall. This means that the bullet was partially turned sideways when it entered Connally's back. Therefore, the bullet must have hit something before it hit Connally. The bottom of the bullet that was found was broken open and was extruding tiny particles of lead. X-rays taken at Parkland Hospital showed precisely that type of particle embedded in the Governor's wrist and thigh wounds. Even if the single gunman theory is true, it in no way lessens the fact that there were multiple gunmen, and there was a conspiracy. The bullets must have hit either Kennedy or Connally. Of the one hundred seventy-eight (178) witnesses at Dealey Plaza, one hundred thirty-two (132) claimed that they hear exactly three shots. If Oswald were a single gunman, it would have taken him at least 2.3 seconds to reload his rifle. However, the majority of the witnesses say that they heard a single shot, followed by silence, with the second and third shots bunched together. For example, Lee Bowers, one of the witnesses, testified: "I heard three shots, one, then a slight pause, then two close together." Also, Warren W. Taylor, a Secret Service agent, said: Lastly, when Miss Willis, a witness, was asked if she heard any
