Between the years 1972 and 1978, when he was arrested, convicted, and later executed, Gacy raped and murdered thirty-three young boys. Although some of his victims' bodies were found in the Des Plaines River, he buried 29 of them in the small crawl space underneath the basement of his home. He became known as "Killer Clown" because of the popular block parties he would throw for his friends and neighbors, entertaining children in a clown suit and makeup under the alias "Pogo the Clown". His looks caught everybody by surprise. He seemed so stupid. Nobody did not think this person was the responsible of the childrens death around them.

According to a bio about him he got into trouble in school and was sent to a youth detention center where he was also under observation by psychologist. He left school at 16 and joined the Marines. While in the Marines he also had problems and he left them in 1959. He took a trip to Finland soon after and got a 6 day tourist visa to Russia. While there he tried to apply for citizenship. This was rejected and he tried to commit suicide and was in the hospital for a week. After he left the hospital he was allowed to remain in the country. In 1960 he was sent to work in a factory and there he met his wife. In 1962 he applied to take his wife and baby back to the United States.
Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner with connections to organized crime. The shooting took place in the basement garage of Dallas's city police station, in front of numerous reporters and photographers. Ruby was convicted of murder and died in prison.
While I know that I'm just asking for it from the conspiracy theorists out there, and while I admit that the government GROSSLY mishandled the whole affair and there may very well have been a variety of cover-ups in regards to how the whole thing went down, there is sufficient physical evidence (through modern ballistics both in simulators and real-life duplications sans murder) that we can 100% say that Oswald was the only shooter. Why he did it and who (if anyone) put him up to it can still be debated. At this time the most likely explanation is that Oswald, who had an obsession about being famous and historical, killed Kennedy just to get noticed. It worked, possibly the first thing he had ever done right.
No. He was not active in any US political party, He admired Russian Communism so much that he went there to live for awhile.
Lee Harvey Oswald was 24 years old when he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby while being transferred from the Dallas Police Headquarters to Dallas County Jail.
(October 18, 1939 - November 24, 1963)
Lee Harvey Oswald was shot to death in the basement of the Dallas, TX police station. The killer, Jack Ruby, was captured immediately.
Oswald did know Ruby because, Ruby owned a night club and Oswald want there a lot
Oswald was hired at the Book Depository that very day he filled out
that application (October 15, 1963). He started to work, as an "order
filler" [for the then-minimum wage of $1.25 per hour], the next
morning, Wednesday, October 16, 1963, which was the beginning of a new
pay period at the Depository. (see the related link for the source of this information)
When he shot JFK he was living in an apartment in Dallas Texas. He had also spent time in Russia.
No, but he was arraigned for his murder of JFK, and Officer Tippet. After he was already dead, it was learned that he had also tried to shoot a general who lived in Dallas, but missed.
Given the vast amount of evidence, both physical, witnesses, and circumstantial, there is no real doubt of his guilt, especially since there has never been any physical evidence of anyone else being involved... and innocent men don't murder police officers during a getaway.
In his sniper's nest on the 6th floor of the TSD, firing his rifle at JFK.
When Oswald ran form the Texas School Book depository, he didn't hide. He was stopped on the street. About 45 minutes after the shooting at Dealey Plaza, Oswald was stopped by Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit for questioning. He shot and killed the officer at point blank range. He was seen by witnesses going in to a movie theater, where he was arrested.
He was arrested in possession of a .38 caliber revolver (which ballistics later matched to the bullet that killed Officer Tippit). He was arrested for the murder of Officer Tippit.
It was when he was taken to police headquarters, a group of employees of the Texas School Book Depository were there giving their statements as witnesses to the shooting in Dealey Plaza. They knew Oswald and pointed him out to police. Following up information from these witnesses, Oswald was formally charged with assassinating President Kennedy.
No doctor diagnosed him as such, but his school counselors found him in need of help.
No one who beats his wife is mentally in good shape.
His neurotic need to become historic and famous was not exactly normal, either. Did you know he called his diary "Historic Diary"? After failing to become famous and historic by defecting to Russia... returning... trying to murder General Walker... organize a Fair Play for Cuba chapter that had more than just him in it...defect to Cuba... he finally found a way of getting noticed.
His final act on this Earth was to raise his handcuffed fist up by his head in the well-known Communist "Knuckle/Head" salute. Appropriate enough.
His gun, his prints on the gun (lifted while he was still alive), fibers from his shirt and a Russian blanket he owned on the gun, the fact that he was left alone on the floor from which the shots were fired, the fact he completely ignored his duties for the day in favor of making a "sniper's nest" in case other people were on the floor, so they couldn't stop him in time. His prints on the sniper's nest area. The fact that he alone escaped the building. The fact that he changed clothes and got his pistol. The fact that he used it to kill a police officer who stopped to question him (odd thing for an innocent person to do!) and then tried to shoot the arresting officers with it. The fact that he said the wrapped package he brought to work was "curtain rods" (which he didn't need) instead of a weapon. If he wasn't planning to do harm with the Carcano, why lie about what it was?
The fact that he left his wedding ring, and almost every bit of money he had left, with his wife. He knew he wouldn't be coming home. He kept about as much as you would need to take a bus to Mexico, but Dallas heated up too quick for him to make any real escape to Mexico or anywhere else.
Private Lee Harvey Oswald, despite two court martials and one "office hours" was honorably separated from active duty USMC as customary by a hardship separation being approved. However, he was still under an inactive obligation which terminated with an undesirable, now called other than honorable, discharge when he offered classified material in exchange for USSR citizenship.
Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK from a 6th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, Texas.
he was shot from the school book depository by lee Harvey oswald
Dallas, TX
Answer
To this day there is still an argument as to whether he killed Kennedy alone or was with a group. Nobody knows if anybody sent him because two days after his arrest he was shot by Jack Ruby when he was being moved to the County Jail. Fun Fact: Did you know that the gun that killed Kennedy was bought for around 12 dollars.
Answer
Theories that Oswald did not act alone don't really hold up to investigation. 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, 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 to show the world that he had what it takes.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F Kennedy (JFK) , but was a patsy.
The Mafia killed JFK because Bobby Kennedy was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.
Even after all the work the Mafia had done in Chicago to get JFK elected president in 1960.
Mafia hit man James Files has recently admitted to firing the fatal bullet, the blew JFK's brains
out towards the rear, from the infamous grassy knoll in Daily Plaza.
James Files worked together with another Mafia hit man to "take the trash out" as he put it.
The Warren Commission determined that he had fired three shots.
