At about 8:17 into the video, A New Yorker states (I'm paraphrasing), I hope those southern radicals got their pound of flesh.

I wonder what that guy had any remorse, when it was a communist, Lee Harvey Oswald, who was indicated for the assassination.

All in all a good historical video.

I did not watch the video, but I am old enough to remember that long weekend. The three networks and the newspapers had many stories about the “hate” in Dallas and throughout the South for Kennedy over his intergration stance and others.
If anything, Oswald’s defection to the USSR was downplayed as much as possible.
Actually, not that much difference between today’s media except today, the media is louder and more intense.

Or LBJ. Or the CIA. Or the Mafia. Or a combination of all the above.

Oswald? A patsy…involved to some degree

I was a kid during those years. I watched too much tv.

the general impression that I came away with was that lee harvey oswald was a cia agent sent to russia—whom the russians turned against the USA. that was achieved somehow through his russian wife. the russians returned oswald to the USA where he shot the president.

Did Oswald live long enough to be formally indicted?

Normally leaders are assassinated and what town or city it is done in is irrelevant, in JFK’s case the media branded the people and politics of Dallas, Texas as what killed the President.

The mob is the only southerner radicals with the motive and means to kill Kennedy. Carlos Marcello was the mob boss of New Orleans and he hated the Kennedy brothers.

“it was a communist, Lee Harvey Oswald, who was indicated for the assassination.”

Let us reword that.

It was a CIA agent, Lee Harvey Oswald (James Jesus Angleton was his handler) who was the designated patsy for the assassination.

They tried to push the narrative that Right Wingers did it.

The whole conspiracy nonsense, is meant to cover up the fact that a Commie did it.

At that time, that day, I was attending one of my 6th grade classes at Otis AFB Elementary School. When it was announced I remember falling out from my desk/chair to the floor. I came to a bit later, and the school had suspended classes for the rest of the week. The airbase went on full alert so my dad had to stay at Base Operations and process aircrews’ flight plans.

JFK was considered a Moderate to Moderate Liberal at the time. Today he would be a Right Winger, more Conservative than many rhinos.

I was 12 when Kennedy was assassinated.

At 12 I realized I’d never know the full story.

Somehow life went on...
