JFK |
On November 22, 1963, he was warmly welcomed in Dallas, Texas. He was in a motorcade going through town. Right when the car with the president in it was turning and going past the Stemmons Freeway sign, There was a gun shot. Kennedy had been shot i the throat. Then Governor Connaly, who was in a car behind the president, felt his back ache, here he was shot in the back. The next shot had been in Kennedy's head. He was now dead from the fatal head shot. The secret service agents had been pretty slow that day because the night before they had been having a good time at a bar. 45 minutes later, Lee Harvey Oswald had been arrested for the murder of a police officer. After hours of interrogation, it turned into that Lee was being accused of the murder of J.F.K as well.
On November 24, 1963, a Sunday morning, he was supposed to be handed over to the State Prison. In the garage of the police building, he was shot by Jack Ruby in front of hundreds of journalists and millions of TV watchers.
Years later it was admitted that they couldn't ever place Oswald in the building with a gun in his hand. Oswald had told the police that he was eating lunch at that time and that there was some evidence to back up his statement. Have you ever heard of the magic bullet theory?
This bullet was supposed to cause the seven wounds of Kennedy and Conally. This Commission Exhibit #399 was found later in an almost pristine condition(!) at Parkland Memorial.
One of the most known evidences is the film which Abraham Zapruder took directly next from the Grassy Knoll that day. It shows the assassination in full length. There, one can also see the opened umbrella of the Umbrella Man despite the shining sun and cloudless sky.
More photos show two suspicious men behind the fence at the Grassy Knoll - one with a rifle - who have been called "Black Dog Man" and "Badge Man" because of the unknown identity. The Warren Commission never mentioned these men and never made any effort to find them.

Lee Oswald |
In a three year period after the assination, 18 material witnesses were dead. All killed by mysterious accidents. To this day no one is for sure who actually did the assassination of the president and Governor. Will they ever know?
I think this story is very mysterious and exciting. No one knows for sure who did it. there are many theories but none have been proven. It remains a mystery. Will we ever know who did it? Or maybe even why they did it? I don't know the answer to this but maybe someday evidence will show up.
