JFK's Assassination

Although Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the murder of President Kennedy, his case never came to trial since, two days later, Oswald was shot dead. Before that, he always denied having shot anyone. Later, a special commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he assassinated Kennedy.

What's your opinion on this event? Why would a single person decide to kill the president of a nation? Do you think he acted alone? I look forward to reading your comments. JMC.

  1. In my opinion, the death of John F. Kennedy’s president was a murder where more than one person was involved; I believe that Miguel Lee Harvey Oswald couldn’t have planned this act only for himself. I said this because when one president is going to travel in a presidential motorcade there are many agents around him.

    I suppose that It was a carelessness of the security guards because they didn’t have a good control in that event or maybe they were in complicity with Harvey Oswald. I have two arguments to say that It was a plot; one of them is that two agents of the U.S. Secret Service weren’t at their respective positions and second other big mystery is that a big percent of witnesses died over the years.

    In the other hand, I think that one of the reasons why a young man decided to kill the president of a nation was that he worked with some organization that wanted to eliminate the president because It didn’t agree with the things that was happening in Kennedy’s government.

  2. I am agree with Ericka. I don´t believe that Lee Oswald planned the murder by himself. I have heard many stories about the Kennedy family have always been involved in things with the mafia.Some members of this family have died in conditions suspicion. I think that the decisions that JFK was taking in his government were not liked by some people and why they sent him to kill.

  3. I can not be sure that Lee Oswald was the murderer of JFK. First the evidence against him was never clear. In addition he denied shooting anyone and the case never came to trial because two days later, he was shot and mortally wounded by Dallas nightclub while being escorted to a car to the Dallas County Jail.

    In the other hand if he is guilty, I do not think that he worked alone. A single person can kill someone and hide for a long time but it’s difficult to kill the president of a nation and believe that there is a place to hide. Maybe he had enough reasons or someone had threatened him to commit the crime. No one knows.

    If something is evident is that the day of the JFK’s assassination some security aspects were omitted and certain things were suspicious, such as the bad coordination between security agents or the oblivion of the initial schedule of the president. There are more weird aspects involved in this crime than the ones that people know.

  4. First of all, there are not accurate reason to commit the assassination of the President Kennedy due that his term was recently starting, but I think that his proposal that were to improve the economy of the country through the "New Frontier" that include the space program, improving the education, medical care for the aged person made a group of people upset. It means that just one person without a good reason did not planify it.

    I think that his assasination mark the starting of innovative things such as space program, but on the other hand it demonstrate the weakness of the president's securities guards that did not know the strategic position to protect the President JFK and at the same time where the bullet that kill the president JFK came.

    In conclusion this assasination was not planified alone instead by a group of oppositors and demonstrate the weakness of the president's securities guards.

  5. I think that Lee Harvey may have been the shooter but in my theory he was hired for that, all was planned. Then as he got caught the people (or even person) who hired him realized that there didn't have to be any clue about what happened that day so, two days later Lee was killed and that's how one of the biggest doubt in the world history was created.

    It can be controversial because there are facts that make us question if his act was a consequence of the Cuba and the Sovietic arguments that the United State had with those countries in that time. Lee wanted to belong to the Sovietic army what means that it could be an act of love to that country. Or the fact that he was obsessed with Cuba an its power as country. Nobody knows. But what we all know is that the United State lost an exceptional and focus president that day and everybody regret it.

  6. In my opinion, I think that John F Kennedy was murdered by a group of people who had planed the Assassination, because many of citizens maybe were not agree, and they took a decition to kill the president.
    It is confused because in an accident like the murder of this president there were many enemies and any body could shoot him.
    In the other hand, the Assassination for some people gave us oportunity to think other ideas of the politic and laws.

    In conclusion, I think that president of any nation never will be sure, ever, they will have enemies and people who would want to kill them for a simple reason that are Agreements, new laws, etc..

  7. I think that Lee Harvey didn’t act alone on the assassination, and I have several reasons.
    First, it seems that he didn’t have a reason to kill the president. Even though he didn’t go on trial because he was killed, none of us know that for sure.
    Another reason is that some people that were on the Plaza said that they saw another man standing with a gun. The man was hiding on a wall which make that not many people see him. Maybe all of the snipers were ready to kill the president. Maybe the trip on Dallas was the perfect opportunity to kill the man that was making good for his country.
    I think that the death of President Kennedy had to happen. Lee Harvey could’ve missed the bullets that killed the president, but maybe few weeks or months later JFK could’ve die. Why? Because there were many people that were angry with him because of his wise decision of avoiding a war with the USSR. Maybe that’s the whole reason behind his assassination.

  9. I think that he didn't act alone. It was a conspiracy, a conspiracy in which people even from secret institutions were involved. There are serveral reasons to think that this assassination was a consipiracy, first of all because there are two reports with different conclusions and the two reports are considered correct. Second because some scientists and professionals that had studied the case are not convinced of theory of the 3 shoots, some people said that there were more than 3. Moreover, the radiographs made Jto JFK aren't clear at all, some doctors say that they were modified. Other thing that is really doubtful is that JFK was not taken out the hospital by following the process that everyone should take, he was taken without permission. Why? We don't know.
    During this process many evidences have been eliminated, evidences that probably the new technology will have discovered.
    Definitely, it is something that people around the world, not only Americans will forget. A day that remarked the American History not only because they lost a president with great ideas and projects, but also because they lost an invaluable person.

  10. Really I consider that Lee Harvey oswald didn’t act alone. I believe there is someone else involved. In addition is so strange that 2 days later Lee Harvey Osvald was shot dead. And why was killed? no one is so crazy to do that. I think it was because If he had been alive, he had told the truth to the authorities, I am almost sure that Oswald only was the material author and obviously there someone more like the intelectual actor. In the majority of this cases around the world there were more people involved, while more people is involved more perfect ocurred the crimes.I know there were some investigations, that give some theories, and one of them conclude that this man acted alone. For me in unbelievable that one person could have felt hate to a person who is nothing in personal life of this died person. I suppose it was ocurred only by opposition feelings against political thoughts related to Kennedy. In general I am not agree with the investigations results, because is very incredible for me to think that someone is so crazy in order to assasinated to a public figure that was a president of a nation.

  11. I think that Lee Harvey did not act alone, so I investigate about it.
    THE REASON
    They wanted to assassinate President Kennedy for his speech of April 27, 1961
    "The word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society. We are against secret societies"
    First Version
    Which everyone knows the murder: Lee Harvey
    Second Version
    As said in his speech, President Kennedy was back the following persons: Johnny Roselli, Holy dealer Jr, Carlos Marcello.
    Besides when arrested Carlos Marcello, senior member of the American mafia, confessed that the Mafia killed JFK. Because JFK and Brother wanted to eliminate the American mafia.
    In the book "The Double Cross' which tells the story of Chicago gangster Sam Giancanna recounts the relationship between Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedy brothers. He says Marilyn Monroe accessed an exclusive CIA information for the Kennedy brothers relationship. According to Sam Giancanna the government and the mafia eliminated the Kennedy brothers and Marilyn Monroe.
    Third Version
    In Dallas the Witnesses saw the Bullet trajectory and it was not only become in Lee Harvey place, the others two shooters were performed in different sections near to the public.
    Fourth Version
    This linked by the speech of President Kennedy's secret organizations. One of them was Operation 40 in which lead George Bush father. The reason of this version comes when a reporter asked President Bush where he was the day of the JFK assassination and his answer was that he didn`t remember. Days later published a document. It was showing that Bush was in Dallas at JFK's death.

    In conclusion, the American mafia killed JFK

  12. I consider that Mr. Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t work alone because I think that plan to assassinate a president had to be dificult, they had to be other people that helped him to prevent about bodyguard or about the vehicle's location John F. Kennedy. Also, I think that the fact that Oswald was killed two days after the incident make to suspect about someone who don’t want to leave evidences because Oswald was the only person who could tell the truth.

  13. In my opinion it was not a good idea to kill Mr Kennedy, because he was not a bad president, it was the opposite, he was a great president, so I can´t find a reason that could have Mr Lee to kill him, I think that he couldn´t act alone, because it was very hard to kill him, there were a lot of security and I think he could have help from a corrupt guard or something like that, but now we never gonna know the true because he was killed too, so we will have that doubt for the rest of our lives

  14. There are many conspiracy theories regarding the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
    In my point of view, the world will never know who the persons were exactly that gave the official order to kill him.
    John F. Kenedy was not a bad president. During his presidency he did a lot of good things, such as, the economy prospered, He proposed a tax reform, he founded the Peace Corps and the Space Program too, he prevent war with the Soviets and I can not find the exact reason why people wanted to end his life. Maybe in his presidency there was something that affect them in future and for that reason they decided eliminated him
    I don't believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he assassinated Kennedy. It is more than obvious, He had to need more people to plan the kill of the president and I think that the security guards were involved!.

  15. In my opinion Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone and maybe the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a conspiracy because he was the youngest president of the USA, and also he did not do what others politicians told him to do, so I think that Kennedy had many enemies who worked for him in the White House and they were against him and all his policies, even though, he had good policies and he was a good president in the short term which he served.

  16. In my opinion the death of John F. Kennedy was not an event which just one person acted. I think that was a group who were involved in this plan. A plan which was directed well with a leader who knew how to do it. Because just one person could not have the completely ability to do something in which need some strategies to accomplish the objective, the death of the president.
    I think that the main reason that people wanted to kill him was the war against USSR. The other possible reason could be the program that he could not do it that was called New Frontier. That was about improving education, medical care. I believe that might be a kind of plot which guards also participated.
    Finally some citizens felt unhappy due to the death of the president. He had great ideas to make the difference in the country like the Space Program.

  17. I think John F. Kennedy made ​​a great work on the war with Cuba and the USSR. Because if he attacked , maybe World War III would take place. And he was very criticized due to his decission that was the correct. Avoiding violence was a good way to sort the problem out.
    He got a lot of enemies due to his problem like people who worked with him and thought that his decission was not the correct.
    His death is a mystery.

  18. JFK assassination was a controversial event in all the american history.From this some teories appeared but they weren't proved.
    In my opinion Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone and he was just one part of the group that were against this president, I believe that the people that complete the group were the most closer workers of Kennedy in order to know all his movements, And this a really smart plan and also effective, So Lee shot the gun and kill the president, and Why did he was killed? I think that they were afraid of being discovered and the person who shot him was other person of the group and that was the only option to protect their alliance against John.

  19. In my opinion, I do not think the JFK assassination was an inside job. People come up with theories of corrupt government for many different scenarios, some of them may be true, but stretched a bit to make them sound more exciting. In this case I don't believe anyone in the inside had a reason to go that extreme.
    Enough with the conspiracy theories! The JFK assassination may have been organized by Lee Harvey Oswald, but that doesn't mean the CIA did it. There have been so many theories, it's hard to find the truth.
    JFK'S assassination was an inside job done by the secret service JFK 'S assassination was an inside done by someone in the secret service because the guy who probably shot the assault rifle from the secret service follow up car probably had ties to the KGB or Cuba or else JFK would not have been assassinated but the guy with the sniper rifle in the book store was probably going to pay the guy in the secret service to shoot Kennedy while he made the distraction to kill JFK.

  20. In my opinion, John Kennedy assassination was very confused, the police says that Lee Harvey Oswald kill him alone , but I do not think this, I believe he was engaged , becuase it is impossible to organize and overcome all the securities that a president has alone. Also I think one of the bodyguard of JFK want to see him dead for unkown reasons and he engaged a person to this job and I supose it was easy because he knew all the positions and movements of all bodyguards and and this person indicated lee harvey oswald the exactly moment or the most vulnerable moment to kill kennedy
