JFK was killed , I was 11 and my parents told me the world woild never be the same, I think they were correct

And the strangest thing is they never quite figured out what happened, did they?

I was 12 - we got sent home from school early. I remember feeling that way myself.

You will never convince me that Oswald acted alone

I believe it was a mob hit, aided and abetted by various right-wing elements and pos. the CIA.

Oswald was the stooge.

^^ what he said

Steven King 11/22/63 is a pretty good read. 

I believe it was a mob hit,<<<<<<

 

yes - it was - Sam Giancana- Chicago

And as far as I'm concerned there ws a second grassy knoll gunman.

My class was visiting Temple Emmanuel and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC that day.

The temple visit was ordinary, but lots of folks coming in crying and praying at the Catholic cathedral. We wondered what was up.

Teachers didn't tell us til we got back to school, allowing us to drive the bus driver crazy singing Do Wah Ditty Ditty over and over and over again on the ride home. 

 

I'm with Klondike. Sam and his boys were pissed about Cuba, among other things. They liked their casinos there.

JFK's Attorney General was his younger brother Bobby, who made it known his primary objective on the job was to go after the Mafia.  

The Mob hit back.

Yep, Cuba and RFK.
