JFK assassinated 57 years ago – here are the shocking news videos and pics from that day

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was riding in his open-top motorcade in Dealey Plaza, in Dallas, Texas when he was struck by multiple gunshots and killed.

Former U.S. Marine Lee Harvey Oswald was believed, by the prevailing accounts, to have been responsible for firing the shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building, which struck Kennedy in the neck and head as his motorcade passed through the plaza at 12:30 p.m. that day. According to History.com, Oswald is believed to have fired three shots, with two hitting and fatally wounding Kennedy and another shot hitting and wounding then-Texas Governor John Connally. Oswald was arrested in connection with the assassination but was shot and killed two days later.

The shots that killed Kennedy were caught on film and the shocking footage has seen decades of speculation and conspiracy theories about what truly happened that day. Witness Abraham Zapruder captured some of the closest footage of the shooting, in what would come to be known as the “Zapruder Film.”

It seems there is only one photo of LBJ being sworn in. One.

When there were several, as is befitting an historic event, there was one of the series where the mask slipped, and instead of appropriately somber, he looked rather pleased with himself.

There are no shocking news videos and pics from that day. Where were they found?   In a time machine that mysteriously appeared on a photo journalist's desk?   Smoke roiling out someone's crotch. Not mine!

5.56 calibre didn’t even exist in 1963. The Manlicher-Carcano rifle Oswald used was 6.5x52mm so it was already a smaller calibre than the usual rifle round.

Something happened a few seconds before the big blast that knocked his head back.

He kind of slumped forward and that caught Jackie’s attention.

That, I’m going to say, second shot, just missed her.

This is on my twitter feed today:

“The assassination of John F. Kennedy was a diversion to deflect attention from the murder of C. S. Lewis by Aldous Huxley, who subsequently faked his own death to avoid suspicion.”

I remember.I was 13...not "worldly" but not entirely clueless.The Principal of the school came on the loudspeaker and said "boys and girl,something terrible has happened but I can't tell you what it is"...and that basically all she said.

For the rest of the afternoon I and a few other kids were afraid that every plane that we heard fly overhead was a Russian bomber ready to blow us to Kingdom Come.

The Cuban Missile era ‘duck and cover’ drills on a Marine Corps base in the southeast were still quite fresh in my mind.

The most dangerous phrase in ANY language is “WHY, THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE!”

LIKE HELL IT CAN’T. We’re in the midst of it as you read these words.

The media has ignored it. It prefers to make out it never happened, like 9/11.

"If that were the case, the entry hole in the base of JFK’s skull would have been the same diameter as the caliber of Oswald’s rifle. It wasn’t. The entry hole was smaller, about 5.56 size."

The skull was fragmented and missing. There was no intact entry hole recovered. To this day people argue about where precisely the hole was. You can't pin a conspiracy conclusion on such flimsy evidence.

"Moreover, the bullet that blew JFK’s head apart was a frangible round. Not like the “magic bullet” slug that Oswald fired and stayed intact after going through JFK’s neck,a seat back, and Connelly’s back."

It blew his head apart because the cranium is a contained vessel and the passing bullet created enormous pressure inside it. There was nothing special about the bullet.

You've got to be crazy to believe this foolishness.   Just Oswald, just Charley Guiteau, just Leon Czolgosz, and just Booth.   It's "Occam's razor" not rocket science or brain surgery.

"And he had a history of having rivals bumped off."

Yet he had no connections to and no way to make Oswald do the deed.

"There is a photo that looks quite like him standing on the sidewalk in front of the book depository..."

It's been studied to death. It's not Oswald.

After everything you saw in 2020 and you still believe the Oswald fairy tale?

Oswald was a patsy, just as he said. The CIA uses cutouts for “plausible deniability.”

I remember the Sunday after the assassination the St. Louis Post-Dispatch had a thirty-page expose’ on Lee Harvey Oswald.

How did they come by that much information in two days?

Who would have “dossiers” ready to go when needed?

"i think that was older info....whittled now down to less"

Older in that it had already been released. People have been crying about the secret files for decades. But all that time they'd been slowly coming out. Then after the JFK Records Act they all came out. There is a tiny handful left, that have nothing relevant in them, and people are still crying about the files.

I guess that’s where the facts are disparate. I kn ow I was a documentary that showed pictures of the entry wound. I could be wrong, or maybe misled.....
