Did oswald really kill John F. Kennedy?

Answer 1

He'd tried other ways to get famous and they didn't work. He wanted to be famous and historical, you see.

Answer 2

Oswald wanted to be famous and historic, and nothing he had done prior to this, had worked.

A young man shot and killed John F Kennedy because he had many problems and was going insane he was later also assassinated by someone who liked Kennedy. But what some people dont know is that the governor of Texas was also shot with Kennedy but he lived.
Oswald wanted to be famous.

Answer 3

Lee Harvey Oswald was dishonorably discharged from the US Military and was known to be a vocal critic of the government. He certainly had the motive and capability, but many think he was a scapegoat.

Answer 4

That question is still not answered. Some think he wanted to be famous, or he was a Russian spy. We may never know the answer. He refused to discuss his reasons before he died. It is extremely doubtful that he was an agent of the Russians. Real spy organizations want people who *don't* get noticed, and Oswald did his very best in life to get attention.

Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". The likelihood that he could cooperate or coordinate this activity with another person or persons is very remote. He had the training, the skill (he qualified as 'sharpshooter' while serving in the US Marine Corp.), and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture that ensures that his name would always be a part of American history.

Answer 5

Oswald wanted to be famous and historical, even called his diary "Historic Diary". He defected to the Soviet Union. Instead of being famous, they stuck him in a radio factory until he got fed up. Then he returned to the USA, first warning his Russian wife how to deal with all the reporters that would be waiting for them on their arrival. Again, he didn't get famous. No one met him. Then he tried to become a bigwig political organizer, and gained exactly zero followers. And then he got a mail-order rifle, and tried to assassinate General Walker with it, and missed. He got away with it but the note he left for his wife (when he wasn't sure he would be coming back) was found later on.

Nothing he had ever done to become famous and historical, worked. Then he saw a newspaper that revealed that JFK was coming to Dallas... and would be passing Oswald's place of work. So he took his rifle to work that day, and finally got famous and historic. That's why JFK was killed. I don't think he even disliked JFK all that much, but being famous meant more to him.

Answer 6

Yes.

As Z312-313 clearly show, his head was knocked violently down and forward about 3 inches, in 1/18th of a second, by Oswald's bullet. The bullet's passing caused his brain to explode forward and to the right, causing his famous spin back and to the left. At this instant, there was a concrete wall between the alleged Grassy Knoll sniper's position, and the President. In any case, the alleged "Badgeman", had he been real, would have been about the size of a cat.

The crude forensics of the day caused some people to mistakenly think the bullet had to have been "magic" to pass through Kennedy and Connolly. Actually, it was nearly a straight line through soft tissue.

Answer 7

No one really knows what possessed Oswald to kill John F. Kennedy, but the most logical reason is that he thought killing JFK would make him famous and historical. He had tried several other things prior to this, including another attempted assassination of a public figure. He went so far as to label his diary, "Historic Diary"! There have been attempts made to link him to the Mob or CIA, but none have panned out evidencewise. He did not need, and almost certainly did not have, any co-conspirator.

R.I.P John F. Kennedy

Answer 8

He wanted to be famous and historical, and nothing he had tried up until then had worked.
