Of course we will never know, but I think we can pretty much accept that: the main reason for both assassinations were simply nut case jobs, just like the attempt on Reagan and the two on Ford.

Is Jack Ruby using the middle finger to pull the trigger? Or do I need new glasses?

If he is, why would a shooter do that?

I believe in Occam's Razor. Lee Harvey Oswald was a deranged narcissist who was also a staunch communist and he noticed that one of his wife's old boyfriends looked like JFK (who was very anti-communist).

Let's put it this way! Somebody didn't want JFK to be President. Who ever shot him was a trained Military sniper and not the bumbling fool pictured above.

Statistically, the Presidency is by far the most dangerous job in America. One out of every 11 of them has been murdered in office.

Neither Lee Harvey Oswald, who single-handedly killed President Kennedy, nor Sirhan Sirhan, who single-handedly killed his brother, is likely to tell you why they did it.

I've always wondered why JFK was in a convertible and not a bulletproof limousine, surely his predecessors (especially FDR during World War II) had significant threats against their lives.

Too late! She died in 1962.
