JFK assassination


That is where the controversy starts. It has been almost thirty-nine years since John F. Kennedy has been assassinated and, yet, still nobody is one hundred percent sure who killed him. It isn't as if people or groups haven't been searching for the real answer, it is just that nobody has found it yet. There are many theories and ideas about the murder of Kennedy, but none of them have yet to be proven the answer. The truth is out there and in a world of information; I am going to find out who killed J.F.K. There are so many theories about who killed Kennedy it is hard to pick out the legitimate ones and throw out the bad ones. Through much research, I have come up with the three most accepted theories and eventually I will come up with the one that is true.
             The first, of the accepted theories is the one-bullet, one-shooter theory. This is the explanation the Warren Commission, a commission put together by President Johnson to find the truth about the assassination of Kennedy, came .
             .
             up with. It is basically saying that a single gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, from an elevated position shot at the President from behind, hitting him just below the collarbone. The bullet, without hitting any bone, then changed trajectory and went upwards hitting the Governor of Texas, John Connally, in the upper chest (Wallechinsky 3). So from the start, the single bullet theory is geometrically impossible. But if you need more proof a weapon found in a room on the sixth story of a library, a 1938 six and a half mille-miter rifle, that would shoot a bullet at a rate of 7.5 feet per second. The amount of time from when Kennedy was hit to when Connally was .6 seconds . Way to long for it to have only been one bullet (Wallechinsky 5). So it is also mathematically impossible for there to be just one bullet. These factors all but rule out the Warren Commissions one bullet one shooter theory.
