JFK+Assassination





__**Fact**__ __ **and Opinion:** __ FACT:
 * JFK was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
 * At least a single gunman and gun was used in the assassination.
 * Footage shows that two gunman were used at two different angles to shoot the President.
 * The first shot comes behind from behind him and the second comes from the right side of him.
 * The Warren Commission findings were considered a work of fiction by David Wrone who found the records and disproved the original so called "findings."
 * The physicians who performed the Presidents autopsy were not experienced in gunshot trauma.
 * Oswald's gun was found in the School Depository Building.

OPINION: 
 * JFK was assassinated by acts of the CIA.
 * The CIA assassinated him because JFK didn't send Air Support into the Bay of Pigs invasion which killed Americans due to the invaders attack. This made the CIA look bad and they were not very happy with the President.
 * Oswald acted alone. Due to footage showing the shots, it is clearly evident that he was shot in the throat first and then in the head by another gunman.
 * JKF was shot by two gunmans in seperate locations.
 * Many believe that one shooter was positioned in the School Book Depository building (fact) and another was stationed on a grassy knoll overlooking the Presidents route (opinion).
 * A full investigation wasn't carried out in the assassination of the President. The government quickly arrested Oswald and didn't have time to fully question him due to Oswald being killed by Jack Ruby on his way to a High Security Prision.
 * The government sent Ruby to kill Oswald that way they didn't have the media questioning the government on JFK's assassination.

__**Com****pari**__  __**sons:**__ -JFK was hit by a single bullet, the bullet passed through him and Governor, John Connally, this bullet was known as the "magic bullet. The third bullet was fatal to the president, and the first bullet shot, missed the vehicle entirely. -The magic bullet, which hit Kennedy above the right shoulder blade and passed through his neck (according to autopsy) would have had to change its course to hit Conally's rib cage and wrist. -In Zapruder film, Kennedy moves backwards in the last shot. Claims were made that Kennedy's head jerked forward then backward. -Another piece of evidence claims more than three shots were fired with FBI photographs of the limousines because there was a bullet hole shown in the windshield. Further suspects:-Various witnesses reported hearing gunfire from the Dai-Tex Building. The building is across the street from Texas School Book Depository, and in alignment with Elm Street in Dealey Plaza. -In this theory, witnesses say that at least one shooter was in he Dal-Tex Building. -The people suspescted individuals who looked different such as "man in black leather."-In 1978, the scientific acoustic evidence shows to the House Select Committee on Assasination the Dal-Tex Building as a possible source of gunfire.



__**Recognizing Cause and Effect:**__
 * John F. Kennedy was shot and killed--> Everyone in America was very upset.
 * Harvey Lee Oswald was arrested just minutes after JFK was shot--> Jack Ruby went up to Oswald when he was being transported and killed him with a gun.
 * Oswald killed--> People will never know if he did really shot JFK.
 * People who were standing and watching JFK driving through Dallas said that they heard a gun shot from the Grassy Knoll---> People formed a theory that there were two gunman in the assassination.
 * The government had about 50 witnesses that saying there must have been a second gunman, but the government quickly finished there investigation and found Oswald as the killer---> Americans grew distrust toward the Government and felt they weren't trying hard enough.
 * Kennedy disagreed with the CIA and the anti-Castro Cuban during the Bay of Pigs invasion--> This was seen as a clear reason for the CIA to take JFK life.
 * The Warren Commission spent 10 month on investigation but kept Oswald as the killer of JFK---> This led to Americans not believing that the Warren Commission was really trying to find the true killer.
 * The day before the shooting Oswald was in touch with the government to warn them about the coming assassination---> the following day JFK was killed.

__**Drawing Conclusions/ Identifying Alternatives: **__ To conclude the assassination of JFK, the President was most likely hit and killed by two bullets from two different shooters. Due to all the information gathered and analyzed in our research we find that the best conclusion for the assassination is that there was two shooters in the killing of JFK positioned in two different places during the parade. Due to footage taken when he was shot it is clearly evident that the President was first hit in the throat by a bullet from behind him most likely shot from the School Depository Building. The second time the President was hit was a direct hit to the head from what we find as another bullet from another shooter in another location to the Presidents right side. The shooter was probably positioned on a grassy knoll when he fired his shot. After analyzing the governments conclusions of the assassination, we find that they don't make sense and the government quickly jumped to conclusions in the assassination. Their is a feeling of conspiracy and betrayal in the assassination of JFK and it has carried on today because of secrets the government has not let out to the public. We feel that for some unknown reason the government was behind the attack because the doctor who performed the autopsy was not experienced in shoot-trauma, the quick arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald, and the sudden murder of him by Jack Ruby. Since Oswald was killed by Ruby, then nothing would be leaked out about the government being involved in the assassination. It is a terrible thing to think about but the it seems that all the facts end up leading to government involvement.
