    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.…

    John Fitzgerald Kennedy was an American politician and World War 2 veteran. He later served as the youngest elected president of the United States from January 1961 to November 1963. The reason for his short term was his assassination in Dallas Texas, on November 22nd, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository when he shot and killed the 35th president of the United States during the 1963 motorcade. There were several things that could have help prevented this tragedy from happening. Before the motorcade began, John verbally told his secret service men to “back off.” His agents gave him more space then he should have had in the first place. Kennedy had a love for cars, so riding with the top down was a must for him. If he had not been riding with the top down, he wouldn't have been such an easy target. Lastly, the motorcade route was changed at the last minute. He was supposed to go through Main Street and onto the Stemmons Freeway but at the last minute was changed to turn onto Houston Street, then Elm Street. If Kennedy had allowed his Secret Service man to assist him, did not ride with the top down, and stuck with the original motorcade route, Kennedy's assassination could have been prevented.…

    As President Kennedy disembarked Air Force One, he was escorted into an open limousine 2nd from the front of the Motorcade, where he was to be driven to a conference in the Trade Mart Building. The original route of the Motorcade was to travel straight down Main Street and into their intended destination. But, on the day of the assassination, the Motorcade made a very sharp 90 degree turn from Main, to Houston street, where the car was slowed down to 25 m/ph, then another sharp turn from Houston, to Elm street, whereby the car was slowed right down to 15 m/ph. Near halfway down Elm street, at approximately 12:31pm, 4 shots were fired. The first bullet struck Kennedy in the throat, the second passed through Governor John Connally's chest and left wrist. The third bullet hit Kennedy in the front of the head, and the fourth was said to have missed all targets. All these bullets were said have been shot from the Texas School Book Depository.The presidents car quickly sped up and rushed to Parkland Memorial hospital where Dr. Paul Peters and Dr. Clark tried their hardest to save JFK's life. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1:04pm. All doctors who witnessed JFK's wounds all state that the president's head was partially destroyed, they say the back right side of the presidents head was missing, and that 20% of his brain was not intact.…

    Kennedy was a soldier who served for the US Navy, Harvard graduate who was born and surrounded in his life by money. Kennedy was different from the rest of the past, current and future presidential candidates. His religion was different as he was a catholic, different from the usual Christian and protestant. His age was also a question as Kennedy was only forty-three when he took the presidency and only lasted 1026 days until he was assassinated in the city of Dallas in 1963(Marrs 2). There were a lot of things that were different with Kennedys presidency and a lot of people don’t like different they like having a system and obviously Kennedy pushed someone off the edge as he was killed.
