Who Was Responsible For Jfk's Assassination
JFK ESSAY

During the past couple of weeks I have seen countless theories on JFK's assassination that has made me rethink over and over again on who could possibly be the assassin. I made my opinion on the facts and the theories that I learned in class during notes and the movies. The first person who I think is responsible without a doubt is obviously Lee Harvey Oswald. But I don't believe Oswald fired all the shots, or the fatal shot to JFK's head. From watching the video, it pretty much made it obvious how almost impossible it would be for one man who is no way a world record shot by any means to fire a rifle three times in the amount of seconds Oswald did and be as accurate as he did. I believed he fired the shot that hit the ground and the shot that hit JFK in the back. I believe Oswald's main purpose was to be a scapegoat for the real assassin.

I believe that our own government was the people responsible for the assassination of JFK. I know it is a very farfetched idea but in my opinion, based on the facts I learned, it seems to make the most sense to me. JFK was definitely not the best president. He was a womanizer and made some very bad decisions during his presidency. I think the government was worried that JFK would do something very bad that would make the citizens not only mad him, but at the government as well. Worried about this reason, I believe the government decided to determinate the problem before it

    Since November 23, 1963, the day after President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated, there have been speculations as to the happenings of November 22, 1963. Along with the Warren Commission, there are hundreds of conspiracies and theories attempting to explain the assassination of Kennedy. Many people agree with the Warren Commission in that Lee Harvey Oswald acted as the lone gunman, while others maintain that another gunman was involved. Because of extensive evidence, I believe that Oswald did not act alone on November 22, 1963 in the assassination of Kennedy. The additional gunman was strategically placed in the grassy knoll area, in order to shoot at Kennedy from a frontal view (Rubinstein 4).…

    On November 22nd, 1963, President John F. Kennedy (JFK) was shot and killed in a motorcade running through Dealy Plaza, in Dallas, Texas. Shortly after, a man by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the murder of President Kennedy. Over the years there has been much controversy over if Lee Harvey Oswald was in fact, the only man involved in the assassination of JFK. The assassination is still a topic of debate to this day and has spawned many conspiracy theories. At the time, there was little persuasive evidence to prove that Oswald was involved in any sort of conspiracy to assassinate the president, but as time went on people began to grow suspicious of certain things. In 1966, Mark Lane was one of the first to introduce the idea that Oswald did not act alone with the publication of his book Rush to Judgment. Now today, 75% of people believe Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone[1], 70% of respondents believed that the assassination involved more than one person[2]. Also 66% of Americans believe that there was a conspiracy, while 74% believed that there was a cover up[3]. It is inevitable that there is much confusion as to who was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy, but I firmly believe that there is indisputable evidence that shows that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination.…

    I believe the government plotted the JFK assassination. Why would they do this? I do not know. I do know that the evidence proves the government did it. The special ops being shipped to the South Pole, the shot from the grassy knoll, and the change in the parade route is some of the evidence presented to the public, causing the reasons for conspiracy theories. The government used Lee Harvey Oswald as a scapegoat and for the United States public to blame it on.…

    Thoughts surrounding the JFK assassination are interesting and controversial. Conventional wisdom dictates that a single shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot and killed President Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. However, there is evidence to support that there were multiple shooters and Lee Harvey Oswald was not in the position to shoot the bullets everyone said he did, and many people truly believe that to be so. It is simple to dismiss such conspiracy theory as imaginative fiction, but many people have done research to prove that the single shooter did not kill President Kennedy alone. I believe that someone with more power than Oswald carried out this assassination and framed Oswald, and will use research to support this claim.…

    The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most controversial and debated topics in American History. November 22, 1963, the day that JFK was assassinated, is a day that will live in infamy in the mind of every American. It is not certain why Kennedy was murdered, or who actually murdered him. Speculations as to who murdered the president first lead to Lee Harvey Oswald. The Warren Commission, appointed by president Lyndon B. Johnson was established to determine who killed JFK and why. In the eyes of many Americans, the Warren Commission failed to come to an accurate conclusion. The biggest slip up that the Commission made was disregarding key eyewitness reports that they considered to be incompatible,…

    The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is a mystery. We really do not know much about what happened on November 22, 1963 but we do know that someone shot one of our country's beloved presidents. The only question is who did it. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the murder of John F. Kennedy but we do not know for sure that he was the one who committed the crime. If Oswald did kill Kennedy, was he alone or was he working with a group? I personally believe that Oswald was part of a conspiracy. I read an article called The JFK assassination. The article states that “He worked in the Texas School Book Depository at the time of the assassination.” This proves that he could have been the killer because he worked at the building where they believe the shots came from. The article…

    On November 22, 1963, a tragic event occurred in America that shook the nation. The president at the time, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. What not many people know is that his assumed assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was actually assassinated two days later. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot while being transferred to the county jail, by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner. Oswald was supposedly assassinated because Jack Ruby was so moved by the death of John F. Kennedy that he wanted revenge. The assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald was unjust because there is little to no evidence that he murdered JFK, and there was never a full trial determining whether the assassin was Oswald or not; however, others believe that Oswald was the assassin of JFK, so…
