JFK Assignation

John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. He was assassinated on November 22, 1964 in Dallas, Texas while driving to another speech. JFK, his wife and the governor of Texas, John Connolly were driving in a convertible which was a terrible mistake. He had almost no protection from the hundreds of people around him. Anybody could have hurt him.

 Lee Harvey Oswald, who had defected from the Marines shot him. One bullet when through JFK’s neck and out his throat, the other went through the back of his head and into the governor. The governor lived, but JFK did not. Lee Harvey Oswald was never convicted because he was shot while being transported. Harvey was shot by a club owner named Jack Ruby.  

The Warren Report stated that there was only one shooter; although, many believed there may have been two. There were three shots, with two hits and one miss.  I have watched the video many times and it looks like the driver could have even been a part of it. Many people thought it was a conspiracy with Russia or Cuba. We don’t know for sure.

  • I think if JFK would not have been assassinated he probably would've won the next election. JFK was a great president, and it was definetly a very sad time for America we he was killed. I don't know a lot about JFK's assassination, but I think that he was a very good president, and did a lot of good things for America, and I would've wished he was re-elected.

  • John F Kennedy was a great president his death definetly brought sadness to many of the people, If he weren't to be assasinated there is no doubt he would have been re-elected again. Personal thoughts on JFK is I don't know a whole bunch about the subject from what I know is that he was a great president and it's sad he was assasinated. 

  • I believe John F Kennedy would been a 2 term president. H ewas highly respected among both parties. He was liked by the young population, which was key to winning that race. He was doing great things during the Cold War that helped raise he approval rating.

  • Glad you fixed this and while we have had this topic already, I'm glad you mad this your own. You only replied a few times which is worth 30 points.

  • He would have definately been president for a longer period of time because he still would have been president until his term was up. I think his death was a horrible thing that happened. I know that there is a lot of conspiracies that he was not a good person like he cheated on his wife and stuff like that but I do not think he should have been killed for that.

  • I definitely think that he would have been president longer if he wasn't killed because he was very popular. My thoughts about JFK's death are that it was a horrible thing that happened. I understand that some people didn't like him, but there is still no reason to kill him because he was doing nothing wrong that we know about.

  • JFK was a very popular and well liked president at that time. For that reason he probably would've been president for more terms. I personally like JFK. I have seen and heard a lot of his speeches about the space race. From what I know he wa a very good and well liked president which makes me think he was good at being a leader. 

  • I think people would have not liked JFk at all because of what he stood by and I think he would have been in office for maybe a year before they tried to kick him out.  I think that his death was setup and that many other polotics hated JFK and what he stood for,  

  • I feel he wouldve been relected, because he was a great president and a very well known one too. Many people were jealous of his spot in the government so they decided to plan a assassination due to the jealousy. The killer was taken to jail and then killed.

  • and yea i think he wouldve been president more if he didnt get killed he was a pretty good president. and i think that maybe they shouldve had gaurds in the building to make sure that there is no threat to the president like now they got snipers and gaurds making sure that there is no threat to hurt the president
