Oswald's Assassination

155 Words1 Page

Many questions occurred concerning the line of sight shot. Oswald was supposedly on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, shooting at a 17 degree angle. The Limousine was traveling at approximately 11.5 miles per hour. According to the official story put out by the Warren Commission, the fatal shot was one of three fired by lone assassin Oswald. The first shot apparently missed, the second struck Kennedy in the back at the base of his neck, and the third in the head from a distance of 81 m. The Warren Commission findings were immediately rejected by various conspiracy theorists who have frequently claimed that the required level of marksmanship would have been virtually unattainable and the required firing rate (5.6 to 8.3

    The shot came from the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building where Lee Harvey Oswald was working at that time. Immediately after the shot, the limousine slowed down but sped up again and rushed to parkland hospital where John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead.

    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).

    Section IV discusses the time period of the investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations, whose existence is owed to the Assassination Information Bureau, from its start-up to its blazing end (Oglesby, 1992, p. 1, 23). As such, it arguably discusses a wider range of topics than any other section; it is also the longest section, spanning pages 117 to 256. First on the list are the connections Lee Harvey Oswald had with three Congressional witnesses who, all within a week’s time, appeared to have committed suicide or been executed (Oglesby, 1992, p. 121-135). Chapters 7 through 10, which cover pages 137 to 175, talk about, for one, the media’s “hard time reporting developments” and declaration that “there was nothing new”

    As the president's limousine passes the Texas School Book Depository, shots are fired from a sixth floor window. The wire services at the time reported that three shots were fired hitting the president and one striking the governor, this subject seems so incredibly documented that much of the conspiracy theories seem like happenstance or the normal reactionary panic that seems to be common in very media oriented societies; and the fact that all of the footage and personally owned cameras were confiscated right after the assassination does lead to the ensuing hysteria over the decades over this assassination, when the simple fact is that the government needed all of the evidence possible to find out and document what had actually occurred. And

    John Wilkes Booth took advantage of the fact that he was an actor and used that excuse to get into Ford Theater, located in Washington D.C., where he knew that President Lincoln would be with his wife and some companions, attending a comedy. As President Lincoln watched the theater performance, Booth came up from behind him and shot him in the head. President Lincoln could not be saved and was later pronounced dead. Many citizens greatly mourned his death since it was such a tragedy that ensued in a time of happiness for many; just as the Civil War had ended, his death marked the beginning of a new United States.

    Most members of today's society will only recall John Wilkes Booth as 'the man that shot Lincoln', and therefore only remember him as being the man insane enough to plot and execute the assassination of a president. In their minds, he was a psychotic man who finally acted upon his sick fantasy. The general population would also agree that they have next to nothing in common with Booth, and that he was clearly "different" than everyone else. With such an intimidating reputation, many forget that he was just a man. He had a childhood, he went through school, he was a talented actor, and he was renowned and respected throughout the country.
