Identifying the assassin of JFK

The conspiracy and theories of John F. Kennedy is exactly that; there are hundreds of theories in this bizarre case. Here I will share some of the most famous ones and their flaws and strengths.

Theory 1.
Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy. This is the theory that many people believe in. Oswald had a trebled youth when he was a child, when his mom moved to New York, Oswald went almost immediately to a youth house for troubled children. Fast forward lee get a job at the Roy Truly at Texas School Book Depository, and works there for 38 days(Specifically from Oct 15-Nov 22)to the day Kennedy is shot. He then flees away from the scene where he ecounter officer Tibbit. He shoots officer Tibbit and flees again. A shoe store employee notices Oswald acting weird and follows him to the Texas theater. He is then arrested in the theatre and accused of killing officer Tibbit. The Marina police tells police that Oswald owned a rifle and now they can't find it. Oswald is splattered on the news and later Jack Ruby kills him and killing the only solid evidence in the Kennedy trial. Now this is the most publically known story and the one the government wants you to believe.

Theory 2
The Magic Bullet theory, this theory is a combination of a lot of theories. The accusers come in many different styles. This comes from the claim that the gun that Oswald used to kill Kennedy was a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle and it would take to long time to fire. The most agreed on amount is that 3 shots were fired. Now the time it took the fire the gun has been set to 6 - 8.5 seconds. FBI weapons expert shot Oswald's gun 3 time in 4.5 seconds; reloading and aiming twice. Still some our not convinced and believe in the Magic bullet theory. The theory is that there was a second shooter besides Oswald. If you watch the Zapruder film you will see a man opening up his umbrella just as JFK passes, did the umbrella hold a secret device to kill Kennedy, some believe so. Witnesses swear they heard a shot and saw smoke coming from the grassy knoll. The supposed shooter is sometimes a cop, FBI agent or the "black dog man"(the picture looks like a black shadow in the shape of a dog/man who might be holding a rifle). When Kennedy was shot 3 homeless people were also arrested for the conspiracy of killing Kennedy, their names were cleared and later found innocent. I have heard of other rumors like Joe DiMaggio, who married Marilyn Monroe and later divorced him. Supposedly Joe heard the rumors the
