Evidence That Supports The Lone Assassin Theory

Secondly, there is another topic with evidence that supports the lone assassin theory. The topic is the ballistics. We first look at Lee Harvey Oswald’s ability of successfully carrying out an assassination attempt. Part of his ability was the time frame. The amount of time it took for Oswald to fire off shots at the president was around 8 seconds. This was believed to be almost impossible for somebody to successfully fire off 3 shots that hit the president. However, not for Lee Harvey Oswald as he had experience in these type of environments. This is because Lee was trained as a sharpshooter when he was enlisted in the US Marines.
“..Able to fire rapidly with accuracy at a target 200 yards away”
This evidence shows us that Lee Harvey Oswald
These bullets that they found matched up with the gun that was believed to shoot JFK.
The two officers who found the rifle…. also found in the same vicinity were three 6.5×52mm brass cartridges later proven to have been fired from Oswald's rifle. One of the empty cartridges, CE 543, was dented in the area of the neck. Ballistic experts testified to the HSCA that this likely occurred when the rifle was rapidly fired and the cartridge was ejected. When four test bullets were fired from the rifle, one of the four cartridges had a dented neck, similar to CE 543.
As we see again and again, we’re finding more information that supports the idea that Lee Harvey Oswald was a single gunman who fired the three bullets from the Texas School Book Depository. These bullet cartridges are just some of the information that proves that the bullets that hit Kennedy, are infact from the gun that Lee used to carry out the assassination on November 22nd
Because New Zealand was considered part of the Western-Capitalistic running world means that we have similar ideologies to the democracy that runs in the United States of America. The people’s of these nations would’ve realised that this was hugely significant as it was the height of the cold war. With the US being the one of the major powers, people looked up to it for guidance and stability. But when the most powerful man in that economy was assassinated by someone of ‘little importance’, NZ people started to wonder how could somebody so insignificant to society kill someone so important. This is what most deeply affected some New Zealanders. Some people simply just remembered it as ‘JFK was the new president and was about to change the world. Remembers the major players,’. Therefore this event was extremely significant to the people of New Zealand. The assassination affected almost every kiwi life during that time due to the strong relationships held between the two countries. This event affected people’s lives so far as the the mid 1970’s. This was mainly due to the consequences of Vietnam. People believed that due the different ideologies of JFK’s successor Lyndon B. Johnson the aim of the Vietnam war changed. John F. Kennedy was about withdrawing troops from Vietnam whereas Lyndon escalated US involvement in the war which meant that NZ sent over more troops. Now the
