61 years ago today, #JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
I maintain a YouTube playlist of documentary and other videos you may wish to peruse. (1/2)

#JFK One of the more interesting videos in my collection is a 30th anniversary reunion in 1993 of reporters who covered the assassination. A lot to learn from them.
#JFK In 1992, I visited Dealey Plaza, site of the assassination. I walked around the area videotaping the relevant locations.
It left me convinced there was no second shooter on the grassy knoll. The person would have been obvious with no means of escape.
#JFK In 1986, Showtime aired a 5 1/2 hour "trial" of Lee Harvey Oswald. The trial used a real Dallas judge, real lawyers (Vincent Bugliosi and Gerry Spence), real Dallas jurors, real witnesses, and what evidence was publicly available.
The jury unanimously found Oswald guilty. 85% of the viewing audience in a telephone poll decided he was not guilty. Go figure.
For anyone with an interest ... I cobbled together a video of the first six hours of #CBSNews coverage of the Kennedy assassination. YouTube blocks it due to copyright, but if you want to download the MP4 it's at the below link. It begins with "As the World Turns."

@WordsmithFL you might wanna watch that special on Hulu.
@MidnightRider Which special is that? There are hundreds.
@WordsmithFL I’m looking, it might have been Tubi too.
@WordsmithFL I think it’s Beyond JFK the question of conspiracy - HULU. Either way, the government knows exactly what happened. The fact that they won’t tell us tells you all you need to know about what the government thinks of each and every one of us. There’s a reason that the autopsy wasn’t done in Texas and those doctors were told to stand down, that way the USG could dress the wound to follow along with the story they made up with their pristine bullet they found on a stretcher
@MidnightRider I'm not going to get into a debate. The overwhelming evidence supports the Warren Commission. No one has any solid evidence to the contrary.
@WordsmithFL whatever dude, that commission was a kangaroo court. I’ve seen bullets that were fired into people. They don’t come out pristine. Maybe you should go watch the video that I accessed for you.
@WordsmithFL I will say this, people that say that Carcano rifle is junk are crazy. I’ve fired armor piercing rounds out of one with a 2200 ft./s velocity that will definitely take a human head right off.
Since one doesn't want to debate, I'll just mention Earle and Charles Cabell, the series of "three Hobos" photos, and wonder why 'The Powers that be' spent so much time discrediting James Garrison, a very experienced Prosecutor.
@WordsmithFL I can remember exactly the moment I heard the news. I was walking up the hall way in the barracks. I was not on duty but I served on a nuclear missile launch crew and the alert status was bumped up. We were all a bet tense.
@WordsmithFL I was in school; I remember they dismissed early.
Was home sick. Remember my stepmom crying uncontrollably. Scared me.
I was in parochial school. The classrooms had all sorts of #JFK stuff on the walls before the shooting, so needless to say it greatly affected the nuns.
I would have been seven years old. About all I remember:
(1) During lunch hour, one of my classmates running in to say Kennedy had been shot.
(2) My father getting up early on Sunday to watch the funeral procession.
#JFK I recently found on Dailymotion the UK version of an #ABCNews 2003 documentary that used 3D-modelling to prove the Warren Commission got it right. 90 minutes but well worth it. (2/2)
