Oswald was shot then the man that did that was killed.
No one was ever caught. Dodgy?
The man who shot Oswald was Jack Ruby and he died from cancer. JFK's death is the most closely examined murder in history and although there are always unexplained elements in every murder case, all the evidence I have seen or read and detailed reconstructions later, support the orignal Warren Commission conclusion that Oswald was the only one involved, not just in shooting JFK death but also Officer Tippit a short while later. Still conspiracy theorists will never be satisfied.
THE most talked about killing in History. The conspiracy theorists have constantly said that it would have been impossible to getb those three shots off in the time and the film seems to confirm that they came from different directions. On top of that witnesses who claim they saw gunmen dressed as police officers all died or disappeared in unexplained circumstances. I think there was more then one gunmen and that it was a Mafia hit, given Kennedy was going after the mob and tThe Teamsters big time.
Why does there always have to more to a story? JFK, Moon Landings, 9/11, 7/7, bay of pigs... the list go's on. The truth alone is enough of a story without all these crack pot theories. A conspiracy requires no evidence, just a someone with an idea.
American politics was so convoluted in the 60s that there are a lot of suspects .. the Mafia, the Cubans, a Cuban/Mafia joint effort, the CIA, the KKK, the Russians, the communists, extreme right wingers , Nixon backers .. we will never know and as time goes on the question of whodunnit becomes less important and less and less obvious. America remains a violent, money, race and power obsessed nation, but ever interesting and fascinating for all that, a contemporary 'Ancient Rome'
This is a particular interest of mine - having watched the film when it first came out I was intrigued so read the 2 books the Oliver Stone film is (loosely) based on as well as a few others, plus countless documentaries, films etc I have come to the conclusion that Oswald was not a "lone assasin". Too much in his history show that he was not just an ordinary Joe - I don't think he fired the fatal shots but may have fired some shots from the Book Depositry.
whether is was a CIA or FBI or a Military plot I have no idea - I don't know how you can keep such things secret for so long - but as Oswald said.....he was just a patsy.
Anyone interested in the Kennedy assassination might enjoy Don DeLillo's novel Libra, a fictionalised account of Oswald's life. The suggestion there is that Oswald was put up to it by renegade CIA types involved in teh Bay of Pigs debacle who wanted to put the blame on Castro sparking an invasion of Cuba.
I have no opinion as I don't know nearly enough about it, save that I think conspiracy theories are nearly always bunk, especially conspiracies which are very complicated and involve more than a handful of people.

There have been so many theories over the years just choose the one that fits your view of the world.
