Did Lee Harvey act alone?

I think Lee Harvey Oswald did act alone on this with the evidence I found online. President JFK was killed Nov. 22, 1963. He was at a parade in Dallas Texas and was riding in an open topped car when he was shot and killed. Lee Oswald was arrested for the death of JFK. It was said that Harvey had a lot of hate for his society and that he would act against it. He had fired three shots from a window of Texas Book Depository. Harvey had messed up in so many different ways that he was just a lost man. My three points are, he was there at the parade when JFK was killed, there was three bullets found by his gun in the window of the Texas book depository, and that he was a very crazy man.
My first point is that Lee Harvey

He attempts to renounce his U.S. citizen on OCT. 31, 1959. Oswald shoots Officer Tippet on Nov. 22, 1963, 1:15 (approx.). These are very good points that he is a crazy man. It is said that Lee had a lack of education and lost contact with old friends. He may have been lost and seen it as the only way out. According to http://www.pbs.org Lee was a Marine and been convicted of spying for Russia. As quoted in http://www.pbs.org “What he did hate was the system and what Kennedy stood for,” As quoted in http://www.pbs.org He despised America. He despised capitalism.

It is a fact that there was three bullets found on the 6th floor. Lee Oswald did appear to be a very unstable man and not all there. It’s to my opinion that Lee was the lone

" Obviously, the Warren Commission did not gather enough facts and data to support their claim.…

    Maybe, a few hours after Kennedy was declared dead Johnson ordered for the presidential limo to be remodeled and all evidence to be locked away for 75 years. So why was Oswald accused of the murder of JFK? Because he was the CIAs backboard to blame after the assassination was complete and then no one will know the truth behind the assassination. Some people believe that Oswald did really kill the president, but why did Oswald wait for the limo to turn on Elm St. and not on Houston St where he could have a clear straight shot at the president that if he missed the first time he could get him with a second shot at the intersection of Houston and Elm…

    In the book the accidental victim it is stated that on the day of November the 22nd the man that was supposed to be assassinated was John Cornally, the governor of Texas at the time. This book states that Harvey Oswalt was the assassin meaning this book does not revolve around the idea of who killed the president. The reasoning as in why John Cornally was the target that day was because Oswalt felt like he had been betrayed by him. In the book it is stated that Oswalt had no problems with John F. Kennedy, and the book portrays why would Oswalt pick up a riffle and specifically kill the president that day. The main reasoning behind the hatred of conally which according to the book caused the shooting was because when conally was the secretary of the navy he rejected a petition from Oswalt to reverse his dishonorable discharge from the marines.…

This maneuver by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), again left conspiracy theorists questioning the brazen move. The significance of this strategy resounds most in the emergence of the “magic bullet theory” ( Texas A&M University, 2007).…
