    Kennedy, but the most daunting by far is the idea that the government played a role. The men who were hired to protect the president changed the route of the motorcade the morning of the assassination, even though the newspapers had printed a different route. The new route took President Kennedy directly in front of the Texas School Book Depository (Russell 2). On the sixth floor, a map was found that showed the new path of the motorcade and a bullet trajectory. Obviously, this took some time to plan, even though only a few people knew of the change in path (Russell 3).…

    The conspiracy that I think killed J.F.K. was an inside job because everything was just too perfect to be true. The way everything fell into place like the car breaking down and the change of the path just seems too good to be true. The text says that Oswald was the lone killer but that can’t be true because he was was sitting on the 2th floor of the school bank depository were oswald worked eating lunch, were the 3 shots were fired and Oswald was sitting there like nothing happened. The reason why I say that can’t be true is oswald was by himself with no gun after a minute and 30 seconds after the shooting, so there is no way that Oswald could’ve took the gun somewhere in a minute and 30 seconds.…
