That's what aroused my suspicions about the whole thing. First, why would anyone do something like that in front of several cops, knowing they wouldn't get away with it. And why would one shot to the stomach kill Oswald with immediate medical attention, when the Pope (much older than Oswald) survived a more-serious gunshot wound with a much-more powerful cartridge?
 

I was in 8th grade. I lived in a small town in the Colorado mountains. I recall that our principal told us what had happened and told us to go directly home. My best friend and I were shocked, we didn't know what to do on the walk home. Oddly, for us we stopped in the Community Church and quietly said a prayer. Then we both went home. It was a really strange experience, and the town was so very quiet all during that week. I remember watching everything on TV, but I mainly recall how odd it seemed all around.

Hope we never again go through that....

Of course, it's all weird. He didn't even belong in that basement.

I remember that day very well. I was a freshman in HS and they let us out an hour early after announcing the Kennedy assassination over the loudspeaker. I remember watching it alone on TV and got sadder and sadder as I watched things unfold...until one day, much later, when I learned about his multiple infidelities and being a womanizer. That cooled my heels with "Jack" (aka John F). I'm just not a fan of men who cheat and use women.

And he & his brothers did much worse than cheating & womanizing.
People are really desperate for hero worship. Or, perhaps they just like anyone who they find good looking & charming.

I was in eighth grade, I was shocked, sad, it was scary to have our President assassinated, I did not know what to think about it! He was young and good looking, and he could give moving speeches, e.g., "Ask not what your country can do for you...etc." But I also clearly knew he was a bad guy, cheated on his wife, came from a family of crime, and was very Liberal, etc. etc.

So, I still was shocked, but knew the context of what he was....
 
I was 7 years old and living in Reno, Nevada. I rode my 1st bicycle to school and came home for lunch every day. When I got home for lunch that day my mom was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said someone shot the President. I didn't really understand the magnitude of it, but I soon learned. This is when I started to understand that the world wasn't really like my sheltered child's mind thought it was.

So I recall the event on TV, the weeekend of continously watching the TV news, and seeing Jack Ruby Assisanation of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Subsequently I Worked as an EE at a signal analysis firm for the gov, mil, défense.

in 1977 the House Commitee on Assination assigned our top acoustics experts Dr Mark Weissman and Dr Ernie Ashkenazi to make an analysis of the sound recordings from the police motorcycle radios, in the motorcade.

They Reported to the HCA, indeed some shots originated at the upper floor of the Texas School Book Depository where Oswald was.

HEADLINE.....A 90% certainty that other shots originated at the area in front and to the right of the Presidents Cadillac, and the railroad overpass. This was in the House committee final report.

Just the ramblings of an old retired EE

On that day we were in the auditorium watching a movie..about plants. Suddenly the Principal ran in and turned on the television. The news of the assassination of President Kennedy was on. We were all dismissed and sent home.
I remember walking past a classroom and saw a teacher standing by the window, crying. I was 9 years old.

I was working at JC Penney in Fargo ND.
 
Yes! Was watching television with Papa when the program was interrupted and the news broke with Walter Cronkite. Then watching the funeral and witnessing the salute by John Jr to his father's casket. Sad to know that so many Kennedys have gone the same way. John Jr died in a plane crash years later.

Father believed it was a conspiracy, so do I. The promised release of the truth, wondering if we'll ever hear it...
