50 years ago, on 22 November 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United Stated of America, was struck in the heart of Texas. Killed by assassin's bullets, the dream of a generation came to a sudden end at Dealey Plaza at precisely 12:30. Camelot died. Officially, Lee Harvey Oswald, a lone nut, a communist and a loser, shot JFK from a window on the sixt floor of the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) with an italian WW2 rifle, a Mannlicher-Carcano. 3 shots fired in less than 6 seconds with a bolt action rifle that was known as "the humanitarean rifle" for it's really bad accuracy and performance. Young Lee Harvey Oswald was soon arrested after alledgedly killing Dallas PD officer J.D. Tippit and fleeing to a nearby movie theatre, where he was to be arrested soon after. Charged with the killing of the President and the cop, after two days of intense interrogations, of which no records or recordings had been made, the lone nut assassin was to be transfered from the Dallas PD Headquarters to the County jail. While being escorted to a transport vehicle, LHO was shot and killed in the basement of the DPD by club owner Jack Ruby (Rubinstein). Polls in the USA regularely show that up to 85% of those polled believe that JFK was the victim of a conspiracy and that LHO did not shoot the President. Those who after 50 years still believe that LHO killed JFK are need to do some rethinking.
I'm not going to enumerate all the reasons why LHO couldn't have been the assassin of JFK. That's a job everyone has to do for himself. I've been following the JFK assassination for almost thirty years now, so my mind is pretty much made up about the events of 22 November 1963.
What I'm going to do is to indicate where to find important information about the assassination of the 35th US President. There are a lot of great sites on the web, which offer from radio shows to articles and pictures as well as videos.
