Lee Harvey Oswald sat in the Texas School Book Depository on the sixth floor with his Mannlicher-Carcano rifle out the window awaiting the President's motorcade to round the corner. Oswald supposedly fired three shots in anywhere from four to seven seconds, "However, FBI tests revealed that Oswald’s rifle could be fired no faster than once every 2.25 seconds—which, on Zapruder’s camera, translated, to 40 or 41 frames" (Holland). By applying this information, Oswald could not have acted as a lone assassin because by taking the 2.25 seconds of firing into consideration, the time to reload, and the time to reevaluate where the President's motorcade had moved to it would have been impossible to get three shots on target off by just one assassin.…
Though they may have to sacrifice homeownership, they have chosen to live in an area with access to fairly good public schools. For example, Cornelis had the ability to attend one of the 4 out of 5 of the kindergarten through eighth grade schools that have at least an average to an above average score regarding ‘growth’ and ‘attainment’ (School Locator). This alone had a positive impact on his trajectory from childhood to adulthood because school was a place where Cornelius was able to stay…
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…
was visiting Dallas Texas while preparing for his next presidential campaign. President Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Texas Governor John Connally, and his wife Nellie Connolly were all four riding together in the President’s limousine. Closely following them was another limousine filled of secret service agents, the only agent that was armed was George Hickey. Agent Hickey was armed with an AR-15, his rifle was loaded with rounds encased by copper that tend to break upon impact. As the motorcade…
The rifle found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository and the rifle that Oswald owned bore the same serial number: C2766. However, there were many manufacturers that manufactured the weapon, so the serial numbers were repeated on more than one occasion. That being said, it is impossible to prove that Oswald’s weapon and the sixth floor weapon were the same. Oswald, according to the Warren Commission, carried the weapon into work that day concealed in a paper bag wrapping. Two…
president, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in the city of Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was well known for his winning personality, intelligence, and courage to make important decisions in time of need. The sudden death of Kennedy was undoubtedly tragic, and brought about many conspiracy theories. However, this meticulous assassination was planned and carried out by a single, seasoned, gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald had many years of military experience as a sniper. Kennedy was shot by a…
Kennedy elected, but was later targeted by Kennedy which the Mob wouldn't let that happen. After the president was shot and pronounced dead, a heavy clean and dismantlement of the Limousine was warranted by government officials. Along with the fact that the bullet proof glass that was supposed to be protecting the president at all times, was taken off as they drove slowly by the Texas School Book Depository. In addition, and the most suspicious piece of evidence in my opinion, was the act of…
Upon from 1963 to now, it has been 54 years since the fatal shooting of John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy was an American politician and then the 35th president of the U.S and a democrat. Another famous name going around was Lee Harvey Oswald, who was the assassin of JFK. Lee would also kill officer J.D Tippit, who thought Oswald was very suspicious. This all took place in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Inside of the Texas School Book Depository on the sixth floor, is where Oswald shot…
president and his wife then were placed in the third row of a convertible limo that was shipped from D.C. to Dallas on Air Force One, with Governor Connally and his wife in the second row.6 The second car consisted of Vice President Johnson and his wife. The motorcade then took the ten mile trip towards the Trade Mart for the president’s speech. At around 12:30 PM, the presidential motorcade turns off Houston on to Elm going towards Dealey Plaza. Many supporters of President Kennedy were…
gun. It is reported that Oswald fired three shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository (Ziegler). The shot that fatally wounded the president was the third shot taken by Oswald. The second was reportedly the shot that hit the governor. The first shot reportedly missed the limousine completely and hit the curb. If Oswald would’ve been working with someone some kind of evidence would have came about. One thing that supports Oswald acting alone is that during the…
