...proceeded by the Left who grabbed the name for their little fairy tale.
it’s between collectivists and individualists ...
Been in the Ambassador hotel and seen the door to the kitchen, which was still sealed many years later. .
Building does not exist now.
Amen
Eighth grade, just returned to classes after lunch. Louisiana History class, Mrs. Lola Stuckey. I have an old copy of the text that we used then.
Drum-roll...and awkward silence.
I think it’s strange I have no specific memories of that day. I was in 2nd grade in a very small town school in the Midwest.
I think my world/life view was already skewed from television. I think I remember thinking, “People get shot or die all the time; what’s the big deal?” Probably watched too many westerns.
Then, when Ruby shot Oswald I thought, “Good guy shoots bad guy.” That’s how it worked in westerns. Again, I thought, “Why is everyone upset about that?”
What I do specifically remember was... there was absolutely nothing else on television for at least a week. Maybe 2 weeks.
Sorry, but that’s what a dumb kid raised on TV thought at the time.
I asked my older brother - who was in Jr High in the same school building. He said one of the girls had a transistor radio and heard it during lunch period. When she told the teacher she was reprimanded for saying such a horrible thing. Soon, they all learned the truth.
Can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when President Kennedy was killed and also when RFK was shot.
9/11 still seems like yesterday.
I experienced both...Somewhat similar feelings, but 9/11 lasted longer and really affected more people personally.
I was in Air Force tech training at the time. Dallas was considered a bastion of right wingedness and media/left knee jerk reaction was to blame that cohort. But I must say the hation as a whole...republican, democrat, whatever... was profoundly shocked and took it personally. A deep insult to the fabric and soul of the country. But then that was when America was still America. As witnessed by the reaction of many at the President Trump near miss, a whole swath of the country no longer has a soul.
AKA Lovers of Gov’t Command and Control vs. Lovers of Individual Freedom.
They moved Oswald so Ruby could shoot him.
I watched it as it happened
Patsy comes to mind.
Worth and watch and is the most credible witness I have heard. He doesn’t relate who pulled triggers, but it starts with CIA.

I think the DS became a man, in the 1960’s. It was born from the forced entry into WW 1 then WW 2. The bastard sons of the Federal Reserve, Income tax, and the money manipulators. Rockefellers and his bedmates.
I believe that too. The way they positioned him to take the shot.
Our Grade school Principal came into each room and informed us of the Assassination,and that the bus drivers had been called. We were to go home. Small school, and I was in 5th grade. Of course I walked home with my Sister and little Brother. Big Bro was a Freshman in HS.
I was just 2 months past my third birthday and remembered some of that day!
I was at mom’s friend’s home where she would babysit while my mom did her weekly errands. (She always gave me a Twinkie after lunch! My mom never had store-bought treats.)
I remember my mom coming back in from errands and she and her friend were so upset. And then that evening with mom and dad and my much older siblings, watching it on the little TV that my parents had.
Years later (High School?) I was talking with my dad about Kennedy. He said how he thought he was a bad President and an even worse person. I replied - “But Dad - he was killed!”
Dad just shrugged his shoulders. School only taught us the good stuff about JFK, and he was just this good-looking young President that was killed that made him a likable and heroic figure.
I wish my old man had talked to me more about politics as a kid.
Total Patsy, it was considered a Right Wing city, that is why it happened there. Cops and most citizens thought of him as a Soviet puppet, a lot like of Hillary in our time.
Presidents who have been shot (at):
1) Abraham Lincon: Republican. Shot and killed by a Democrat.

BUT ....
The democrats insist that WE on the “right” are the dangerous ones ...
