Lee Harvey Oswald's Assassination

173 Words1 Page

According to the President’s Commission on the Assassination of Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald did kill President Kennedy by himself. I have to agree with them because evidence shows that there was only one killer, which was Oswald. To this day, it still is a mystery whether Harvey was even the killer, but the evidence that was found all points to him. According to the Commission, they found no evidence that anyone assisted Oswald on the assassination (177). He was not involved with any group, persuaded or encouraged by any foreign government, he was not involved with any political party, was not associated with the FBI, and there was no relationship between Oswald and Oswald’s’ killer Jack Ruby (177).

    In order to help the media to “convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin,” the Warren Commission was obliged to describe in detail how Oswald, without assistance, was able to kill one man and injure two others.

The Warren Commission attempted to deal with these constraints by devising what became known as the single–bullet theory. All three of their points have been proven to be almost impossible, the only real explanation is simple: there had to be a second
