Who assassinates John F. Kennedy?

Answer 1

Every investigation (and there has been more than one) has consistently determined that Lee Harvey Oswaldfired the shots that killed President Kennedy and wounded Texas Governor Connally. No investigation was ever able to substantiate that a conspiracy existed, or to prove that any other person was definitely involved.

The evidence indicating Oswald's guilt is overwhelming.

1. The shots were fired from his place of employment, the Texas School Book Depository.
2. He had no alibi for the time of the shooting.
3. His rifle was discovered on the floor where a sniper's nest was built.
4. His prints were on the rifle.
5. His prints were on the boxes that were used to construct the sniper's nest.
6. Oswald was observed bringing a long package to work that morning by two people. This package was wrapped in plain, brown paper.
7. Brown wrapping paper was found near the sniper's nest. It had Oswald's prints on it.
8. He left work immediately after the shooting, the only employee to do so.
9. He shot and killed a police officer when approached on the street.
10. He resisted arrest by drawing his pistol and attempted to kill the arresting officer.
11. He told one provable lie after another on substantive issues regarding the murders.
12. The recovered bullet/fragments were determined to have been fired from Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.
13. The autopsy determined all the shots were fired from BEHIND, in the direction of the Texas School Book Depository.
14. The bulk of the witnesses testified to having heard three shots - the exact number of empty cartridges discovered lying on the floor near the sniper's nest.
15. Oswald was actually seen firing from the window by several witnesses, one of whom got a good enough look to give a fairly accurate description of him - which is what probably led the police officer (J.D. Tippit) to stop Oswald while walking along a sidewalk in the the Oak Cliff district of Dallas shortly after the shooting.
16. The police were directed to Oswald in the Texas Theater (where he entered without paying) because Oswald was observed behaving strangely and shying away from police cars running up and down the street.
17. Photographs were discovered showing Oswald holding the two murder weapons. His wife, Marina, admitted taking those photographs in their backyard. Oswald claimed the photograph was a fake. Ultimately, the investigators had THREE such photos that were all examined by a photographic panel and determined to be unaltered.

There is much speculation but all evidence indicates the Mafia. Many don't know about it but there was a contract out on the President and at the time, his brother was attorney general and actively deporting gangsters. Of course all his power came from the Presidency. Hoover knew about the contract and hated Kennedy who planned to retire him against his will. Hoover was also very close to Johnson and because of his business dealings had him pretty much in his pocket. There is strong evidence to support Oswald was set up and just used to take the blame. His assassination to shut him up also supports this. Others were there just to ensure they were successful and proceeded knowing Oswald was in place. What is debatable is if Oswald was involved in any way. Evidence indicates he did not know he would be the scapegoat for a Presidential assassination since someone who looked like him was making the rounds prior to the event and being overly obvious about throwing his name around at shooting ranges and so forth obviously setting up a frame and something a real assassin wouldn't advertise.. Evidence also indicates he did not know about the rifle. He was tricked into taking a curtain rod to work which he never would have done if he knew there was a rifle to be associated with. There is also some evidence that Oswald at one time was associated in some way with the CIA and his Communist activities were blown up. The FBI was watching him at the time, not unusual since they watched everyone they could use and used secret files for blackmail and may have just picked him out of the stack.
Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963

Answer 2

Lee Harvey Oswald. But many people still don't want to believe that. In fact, there have been numerous conspiracy theories over the years, some of which claim Kennedy was killed by a jealous Mafia boss (JFK dated the former girlfriend of a Mafia leader, plus his Attorney General brother Robert F. Kennedy was cracking down on the Mafia); or he was murdered by the CIA (which didn't like his foreign policy); or even that his political rival Lyndon Baines Johnson ordered the killing. These and other theories have lots of fans, but there is still little concrete proof to support them. At this point, the conclusion of the Warren Commission still stands: Kennedy was murdered by a lone gunman with Communist sympathies named Lee Harvey Oswald.

Answer 3

There have been thousands of books, most have theories of thier own, as to how President Kennedy died and who fired the fatal bullet.

Theory 1) The fatal bulet was fired from the Grassy Knoll Theory 2) Leee Harvey Oswald did it. Theory 3) Jack Ruby did it, and the next day killed Oswald*

*Nothing was ever conclusive except the Warren Commission Report, and some of that was speculation. Oswald, when in The Marines, was an expert marksman. At the Texas schoolbook depository, on the 6th floor, Oswald had 2 vantage points; 1 was watching the President & Mrs. Kennedy approach the Plaza, and the other vantage point gave a tough view of President & Mrs. Kennedy. Oswald was not a fan of Kennedy, nor Connelly, or even the United States. He was in Russia after the Marines and, though he had not sworn allegience, he was happy there. Meanwhile Jack Ruby was in Chicago, supposedly. He heard of the assassination and to to make it correct. So he flew out of O'Hare and landed at DFW. Or did he? Now if you were alive in November 1963, you saw Lee harvey Oswald get shot by Jack Ruby who was able to just wander into the Texas Rangers' parking garage. I think Oswald had zero to do with the assassination, and Ruby pulled the trigger and killed the President, and later Oswald, to make it look as though Oswald had actually beenguilty the entire time.

Answer 4

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. CST in Dallas, Texas, while riding in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza.[1] Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife Nellie when he was fatally shot from a nearby building by Lee Harvey Oswald, a former US Marine. Governor Connally was seriously wounded in the attack. The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where Kennedy was pronounced dead about 30 minutes after the shooting; Connally recovered.

The Dallas Police Department arrested Oswald 70 minutes after the initial shooting. Oswald was charged under Texas state law with the murder of Kennedy and that of J. D. Tippit, a Dallas police officer. At 11:21 a.m. November 24, 1963, as live television cameras were covering his transfer from the city jail to the county jail, Oswald was fatally shot in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters (then in the Dallas Municipal Building) by Dallas nightclub operator Jack Ruby. Oswald was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he soon died. Ruby was convicted of Oswald's murder, though it was later overturned on appeal, and Ruby died in prison in 1967 while awaiting a new trial.

After a 10-month investigation, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald assassinated Kennedy, that Oswald had acted entirely alone, and that Ruby had acted alone in killing Oswald.[2] Kennedy was the eighth and most recent US president to die in office, and the fourth (following Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) to be assassinated. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson automatically became president upon Kennedy's death.[3]

In its 1979 report, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) agreed with the Warren Commission that Oswald's three rifle shots caused the injuries that Kennedy and Connally sustained. After analysis of a dictabelt audio recording the HSCA concluded that Kennedy was likely "assassinated as a result of a conspiracy". The committee could not identify a second gunman or group involved in the possible conspiracy, although the HSCA concluded that analysis pointed to the existence of an additional gunshot and “a high probability that two gunmen fired at the President".

The U.S. Justice Department concluded active investigations and stated "that no persuasive evidence can be identified to support the theory of a conspiracy" in the assassination. However, Kennedy's assassination is still the subject of widespread debate and has spawned numerous conspiracy theories and alternative scenarios. Polls conducted from 1966 to 2004 found that up to 80 percent of Americans suspected that there was a plot or cover-up.
