By the fall of 1963, President John F. Kennedy and his political advisers were preparing for the next presidential campaign. Although he had not formally announced his candidacy, it was clear that President Kennedy was going to run and he seemed confident about his chances for re-election.
At the end of September, the president traveled west, speaking in nine different states in less than a week. The trip was meant to put a spotlight on natural resources and conservation efforts. But JFK also used it to sound out themes—such as education, national security, and world peace—for his run in 1964. The Assassination: Crowds of excited people lined the streets and waved to the Kennedys. The car turned off Main Street at Dealey Plaza around 12:30 p.m. As it was passing the Texas School Book Depository, gunfire suddenly reverberated in the plaza.
Bullets struck the president's neck and head and he slumped over toward Mrs. Kennedy. The governor was shot in his back.
The car sped off to Parkland Memorial Hospital just a few minutes away. But little could be done for the President. A Catholic priest was summoned to administer the last rites, and at 1:00 p.m. John F. Kennedy was pronounced dead. Though seriously wounded, Governor Connally would recover.

Amen!
Just pulled into the HS parking lot with a buddy when we heard. We rushed inside and told others and no one believed us. About 5 minutes later they announced it over the PA. Weird day.

The only hate that day came from the CIA.
I don’t think LHO was either “lone” nor “nut”.

The proper role for RFK is to release all records of what happened in Dallas
death of the president and the birth of the deep state
But the bigger shock was seeing Ruby get shot. We were watching TV coverage when he was shot. Did I see it live or a replay? Dunno. But I remember the confusion when it happened. It was a big deal.
Many others think they have this one all figured out but I am not sure. I don't think we will ever really know what all happened.
RIP JFK

He may not have access to the records in his new position. Although I think I read once that he has seen all the files, but I’m not sure about that.
CBS as it happened.

I was in school...a Catholic school...when in the afternoon the principal came on the PA system and announced that something terrible had happened but she didn't give any details. The announcement was about 20 seconds long.
After the announcement some of us were afraid that the Russians were gonna attack. So any time we heard a plane fly overhead we were afraid it would drop a bomb on us.
You mean Oswald getting shot by Ruby. The guards appeared to be offering him to be shot.
Greatest meme, ever.
I was too young when JFK happened, but I always imagined that 9/11 was as close as to experiencing the feelings of that day.
Yup. JFK was the precursor of today's Leftist agenda.
JFK was a mixed-bag, but probably the one area where he did the most damage was in the altering of immigration policy, which has led us to where we are today.
