Lee Harvey Oswald: Who Killed John Kennedy?
Oswald: Lone Assassin

I believe Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone when he killed John Kennedy. According to Biography.com, Oswald was on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository when he shot Kennedy. There were many eyewitnesses that could identify Oswald. There was also evidence of Oswald’s rifle he used that had empty bullet shells next to the gun. Oswald was an outsider and a loner and had an admiration for Kennedy. I know Oswald was the lone assassin because there were eyewitnesses, evidence, and motive.
There were many eyewitnesses that lead us to believe it was Oswald. According to the website, 22November1963.org, Oswald had attempted to sneak into the movie theatre into an empty seat while watching a Korean war film, War is Hell. Dallas Police Department ran right outside the movie theatre while Oswald was inside. I believe that Oswald was alone when he killed John Kennedy because he sneaked from the Texas college and ran into the movie theatre to hide from the police. Then police found him in the theatre. Oswald also killed a policeman 40 minutes after he killed Kennedy. A man saw Oswald kill Officer Tippit then walk away from the scene. There is evidence

There were many eyewitnesses that saw Oswald kill Kennedy. There were sightings of Oswald in all the right places to prove he was the assassin. According to the website jfk library.com, the FBI proved that it was Oswald who killed Kennedy because he used the same gun and bullets that went with the gun that shot Kennedy providing undeniable evidence. The motive was that Oswald liked Kennedy, but maybe he was too big of a fan. He followed Kennedy’s actions too closely. Oswald was weird, as well as an outsider and a loner, which makes me believe that he might have been stalking Kennedy. Because there are eyewitnesses, evidence, and motive, I still believe that Oswald was the lone assassin who killed President

    John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the united states, was assassinated at 12:30 pm on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Despite the many imaginative conspiracy theories such as, the Mafia, FBI, or CIA being directly responsible for the assassination, the most plausible and logical explanation is that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK. This particular theory is most credible due to the evidence that implies his motives, means and other supporting evidence.…

    Did Lee Harvey Oswald work alone in the longest unsolved assassination? On November 22, 1963 Dallas, Texas one of our beloved presidents died. John F. Kennedy was shot at Dealey plaza while riding in a motorcade. Lee Harvey Oswald shot with the gun that killed our president at the scene of the crime. In the Assassination case there are three known shots, two shots hit and one did not.

    Here he comes! Heading passed the Texas Book Depository. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Our thirty-fifth president John F. Kennedy was shot, and died instantly. How many shooters were there?

    It is a well-known fact that President John F Kennedy was shot dead, assassinated in Dealey Plaza on the 22nd of November, 1963. What is still debated today however, is who killed Kennedy, and how many people were involved. One of the main contributing factors to this debate is the amount of potential forensic evidence destroyed, the question of how reliable some of the evidence is (, mainly eye-witness accounts), and the evidence that is yet to be released to the public (, why is it locked up, what light can it shed on the event?). Due to many problems surrounding the very evidence that historians, politicians and common people alike draw their opinions from, there can be no definitive conclusion as to whether JFK was killed by a lone gunman, or even who is ultimately responsible for his death. The evidence recovered on the assassination of JFK largely supports the theory of a lone gunman, the identity of this gunman however, is still hotly debated, but a significant portion of all evidence released to the public points to the lone gunman theory. The way this evidence supports the lone gunman theory is varied. Several eye witnesses claim…

    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.…

    Lee Harvey Oswald always showed a pattern of behavior during his short life which would have influenced a jury to conclude that he could have been responsible for the murder of the President of the United States. During his time, Oswald portrayed a behavior of not having any confidence and low self-esteem.…

    The third shot wounded Governor John Connally. Who was sitting in the front seat of the motorcade with John F. Kennedy. Oswald did so much damage with just three bullets. It posed that both men were hit by a single bullet. Which extended to JFKs upper back and exited through his throat and then struck Governor John Connally´s ribs breaking them then shattering his wrist then finally resting in his thigh. Skeptics say that the trajectory was fanciful and renamed it as the magic bullet theory. It's just one reason why conspiracy theorists think more than one shooter was involved(who killed…

    Lee Harvey Oswald was a crazy and mentally unstable man. He was in the U.S. Marines and was court-martialed twice in 1958 for having an illegal weapon and for being violent (“Lee” 4). The CIA would have not trusted this psychotic man to carry out a task as huge and risky as assassinating the president of the United States. Especially if he could not even behave in the U.S.…

    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.…

    President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 at Dallas TX. The police thought that Lee Harvey Oswald, but many people speculate that he was part of a bigger conspiracy or that he wasn’t even the killer. The government released an investigation team called the Warren Commission. What leads a lot of these theories is that the Warren Commission ignored important information. On the day of the shooting, as the motorcade came down the street, three shots coming from the sixth floor at the Texas School Book Depository ( where Oswald worked) in less than 10 seconds. This is when Kennedy died. Within 15 minutes of the crime, there was a description of Oswald given to the police and…

    Plotting and executing a terrorist attack without commands from an organization represents a deadly tradition. In the nineteenth century, Mikhail Bakunin, the infamous Russian anarchist, described theconcept of "propaganda by deed" and advocated that solitary assassins should kill individuals who represented the corrupt social structure. Among other things, acting individually allowed anarchists to avoid being bogged down by the coercive power usually associated with large, hierarchal organizations. Although in the early 1900's lone wolf terrorism fell out of favor with many anarchists, terrorism by single perpetrators accelerated later in the century. Lone wolves killed 7% of United States terrorism victims during 1955-1978, a rate that increased…
