A big argument in
U.S history is about if the assassination of John F Kennedy. Some people
believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only one that shot him, some believe
more than one person was, some even believe that the whole thing was faked.
According to www.time.com, "Over 70% of Americans
believe that Kennedy's death was the result of a broader plot", meaning
the majority of Americans thought there was a second gunman. They believe that
the bullet trajectory didn’t match up with Oswald's perch on the 6th story of a
building and that there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll of the Daley
Plaza. People also believe that Oswald's 3 shots in 5 to 6 seconds couldn’t be
possible with his bolt-action rifle.
Only 30% of people
believe Oswald was the only gunman. There were reports of him being seen with
his rifle after 3 gunshots. People also found his rifle hidden in a paper bag
hidden behind objects. Reports say that Oswald was also a marksman, so he was able
to make the shot.
Some people think
that the assassination of JFK was fake. They say that the car that Kennedy was
in had made an unscheduled detour and just happened to drive right in front of
where Oswald was waiting. The car had also slowed down in front of Oswald's perch
and gave him enough time to fire his 3 shots. Kennedy's brain also just
happened to be lost during the autopsy, losing any evidence involving his
wound.
People today still
make new theories about what might have actually occurred during JFK's
assassination. Although there were reports of what happened, people said
different things. No one will ever know for sure if there what happened because
a major piece of evidence was lost.
