Ruby, who was immediately detained, claimed that rage at Kennedy's murder was the motive for his action. Some called him a hero, but he was nonetheless charged with first-degree murder. With all this evidence on Lee Harvey Oswald he must have been the one who killed Kennedy right? But what about all the other conspiracy’s? And why did Jack Ruby kill Oswald?
The Involvement of Lee Harvey Oswald in the JFK Assassination John Fitzgerald “Jack” Kennedy was known to some Americans as one of the greatest president by far to serve office with that much attention you are bound to have some enemies throughout the world. On 26 November, 1963 Kennedy was assassinated while riding in his presidential Limousine in Dallas, Texas (Carter). Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested just forty minuets after Kennedy’s assassination for the murder of a police officer (Whalen). The Warren commission Report, an 889 page final report of the president’s assassination, reported that Lee Harvey Oswald was the one and only gunman. (“Warren”).
The motive would be that despite the mafia’s major role in Kennedy getting elected, the president had Marcello deported just after he entered into office. Marcello then threaten JFK to get a “nut” to kill him. Despite this the mafia wouldn’t have used someone as inexperienced as Lee Harvey Oswald to do the job. Also the mafia couldn’t have gotten away with the job by itself so this theory doesn’t explain why the government covered it up. Possibly theory’s to the cover up have been: that the mafia black-mailed the government or in exchange for the cover up they would kill Castro.
The first shot missed Kennedy; the second bullet penetrated through him and the governor ahead. The third and final bullet struck Kennedy Ion the right side of the skull. Oswald was the first to be blamed for the killing of John .F. Kennedy. Let me explain the Carcano Rifle, this was the confirmed gun that killed
JFK Presentation -Why the Kennedy Assassination? -Conspiracies are traditionally supported by a minority -Author Frank McLynn asserts that “Anglo-Saxon culture, justifiably suspicious of conspiracy theories, has parlayed reasonable skepticism into the dogmatic assertion that conspiracies never take place” and he goes on to say that those that believe conspiracies are categorized as “confusing life with art.” -JFK assassination has most Americans believe in a broad conspiracy -1966 Harris Poll: 46% of Americans believe there was a conspiracy -1983 ABC Poll: 80% of Americans believe it was part of a larger plot -1998 CBS Poll: 10% of Americans believe Oswald acted alone, 74% believe there
They said the gun is Lee Harvey’s rifle and that they have hand print to prove it. So the man who killed John F. Kennedy stole Harvey’s gun with the hand print of him on it. Then he shot the president and left Harvey's gun by the window with the empty casings on the ground thin he switched the bullets in the car to match the size gun in the room. to cover it up. So Lee Harvey was not the
Over the years, several conspiracy theories have been thought up because of some serious question marks in the Warren Commission’s reports and the members of the Warren Commission themselves. For example, the commission claimed that Oswald acted alone and that there was no evidence that he was involved in any conspiracy to assassinate the president. However, the shots alone that Oswald supposedly took himself were extremely difficult shots that Oswald could not have taken. Oswald reportedly took three shots from a window overlooking the parade within seven seconds striking the president all three times. These same shots were replicated by top snipers in the marines whom were not able to make the shots Oswald did.
One shot entered his upper back, penetrated his neck, and exited his throat. (9) Lee Harvey Oswald was captured less than two hours after the assassination for allegedly killing a police officer, later that evening he was charged with the murder of President Kennedy and Mr. Tippit the police officer. (6) Oswald's case never made it to trial because two days later, while being transferred to Dallas County Jail, he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby. The official investigation was established by President Johnson on November 29th 1963, exactly one week after the assassination.
The evidence available does show signs of a conspiracy but those responsible will never admit it, so it would be almost impossible to point the figure at any one party or person as long as they deny it and the US government continues to with hold evidence from the public. Personally, despite the Oswald “lone assassin” story, I believe that the US government was ultimately responsible for the Presidents assassination and Oswald was just a patsy.

Not only did this study state that the weapons banned were only used in a small percent of crimes even before the ban, but also "found no statistical evidence of post-ban decreases in either the number of victims per gun-homicide incident, the number of gunshot wounds per victim, or the proportion of gunshot victims with multiple wounds. "(Koper, Roth 67) So even if Congress bans these vaguely named assault weapons it will most likely be as ineffective as the last time they did so. Some take issue with the ban not because of its’ functionality problems, but because they feel it violates their rights as
