The Kennedy Assassination

Hi Everyone!! :)

Exactly 42 years ago today [the day I'm posting this] President John F. Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas. I was only 4 months old when it happened - so it wasn't me. But who was it?

Who killed the President?

Do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald was the 'lone gunman'? [as many have suggested over the years] OR do you believe that there were other people shooting at the President that day? [perhaps from behind the 'grassy knoll'] IF you believe that Oswald was a 'patsy' - and was in fact working in concert [or so he thought - at least] with a group of people - who were those people? The Cubans perhaps? What about the 'mob'? Then again - maybe it was someone [or a group of people] within government itself?

As far as I am concerned - the only ones who COULD have arranged for the assassination of the President AND remain quiet - even after all these years - would be the 'mob'. Not only did they have a motive - but also the 'means'. They could have done it. And I think they probably did. And just so you know - I'm not alone in thinking this. Walter Cronkite believes the mob was behind that fateful day as well.

After JFK died - it was only his brother who continued to fight against organized crime. After HIS death - not much has been said about the 'mob' - by any President. [or any candidate to BE President] Why is that?

We will probably never really know the answer. But I have never been able to swallow either the 'lone gunman' theory OR the idea of there being such a thing as a 'magic bullet'.

What do YOU think? Who killed JFK?!

The following link will take you to an interesting website. There is a web-cam set up on the site from the southeast window on the sixth floor of the former Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. [the same window many believe Oswald shot from]

I don't see much difference between the mob and government. A joint effort since he was seen as a dangerous man to both wouldn't be surprising.
