I agree 100%, the only way LBJ could ever be President. Funny that I not only remember where I was and what I was doing I also remember other things that happened that day, for instance, I had not long bought a 1963 Impala SS with the 409/400 and 4 speed. The car was Ember Red with black interior and I had ordered a set of white Rubbermaid floor mats for it from the Texaco gas station where I worked part time. the mats came in that day.

I’ve been fascinated by this topic since I was 12 or 13. Have done a lot of reading on it since then. There’s no way in hell Oswald did it. I believe he killed J.D. Tippit but not Kennedy. Moving target from a 6th floor window, with that crappy manlicher-carcano rifle he supposedly used, I don’t think the damn thing even had a scope on it. He’s quoted saying ‘I’m just a patsy’ and then a day later Ruby shut him up forever.

Did any of you see the ‘55 four door wagon Oswald’s aunt owned for a sale a year or two back? Light green bel air, I think it was on feebay...

Epstien didn’t kill himself.

About a year ago, the History channel did a series on the assignation, and in the end, they came to the conclusion that it was Castro. It was well researched, and the best documentary on the subject that I have seen. I doubt that the government will ever disclose all the facts, and they still haven't declassified WW2 documents, so why would they let out what they know about the Kennedy killing. There was another film that was shot from the car behind Kennedy, but the person that shot that footage, never would let it be shown. Today, the FBI would rip it out of his hands and view it, but back then they didn't. That person was in the white 1959 Chevrolet convertible in the procession.

They pretty much closed down the High School and told us to go home. I'd sure like to know the reality of what happened, because there are some great theories out there and they can't all be true. It does seem to me unlikely that Oswald made the shots, but not impossible. Maybe some of the real rifle shooters here could chime in.

That was when I began to realize that politicians were not trustworthy people. Later they told us about Vietnam, Agent Orange etc and you all know that story. Some things never change.

I was in the 4th grade at Elk Trail School in southern Oregon, we had two guys that had a pull-out reading class in the library and the rest of us were in our regular class. They came running back to class yelling that Kennedy had been shot, the teacher just about lost it, nobody else knew anything, so she went to the office and got an AM radio, brought it to class, and dialed in the Medford news station, 1440 KMED, and everybody was milling around talking, but nobody there knew anything, either. We tried to get some news for about an hour, but to not much avail, so we went on with our regular lessons for the day. I remember the next school day was a Monday, the 25th, but it was a national day of mourning and school was closed. We had a two day school week that year, Thursday was Thanksgiving, the funeral was that weekend, and lbj was sworn in and we as a nation tried to recover. JFK was an interesting guy, and between castro, the mob, and johnson, it's still hard to say what actually happened, although to this day there are several opinions. There's a YouTube film of Cronkite reading the initial report from Dallas, then all the subsequent footage through the funeral. It was an unbelievable event, that's for sure.

Santo Trafficante, Jr. rose to oversee Mafia operations across the state of Florida. He owned and operated some of the most lavish casinos in pre-Castro Cuba. He was a well-respected boss, even among the far larger New York crime families. When the CIA decided to recruit the Mob in their efforts to assassinate Fidel Castro, they went to see Trafficante. And then there are the infinite conspiracy theories about the assassination of President Kennedy, many of them featuring Trafficante.

Only the Government really knows who the true assassin's where.

I remember hearing it on the radio as I was headed into town to get my mail at the Post Office. When I got there, I told the Postmaster, and he chided me for making such a false statement about the President. I walked out of the Post Office and drove back to school to learn that classes were dismissed, and that we were all to go home until after Thanksgiving. I drove my fully restored 1955 Chevy convertible home, and on the way, I developed burned exhaust valves. Going up the hills was difficult, and coasting down them I would gain speed. I left the car at home intending to do a valve job on it when I came home for Christmas, but when I returned home the car was gone. My father had sold it to a friend of his, and replaced it with a used 1962 Corvair white 4 door. Later on that winter, the Corvair was parked in the parking lot next to a tree, and the snow plow hit the car and pushed it into the tree. Took it to a locale shop that rebuilt wrecks, and traded it for a 1963 Corvair Spyder. That one got totalled in the summer of 1964, when it was rear ended by a car, and it was replaced with a 1964 Impala. With all these "upgrades", it seemed like I was working just to keep paying on my car loan. By the summer of 1966, I was out of debt and had a good paying job.
