Lee Harvey Oswald was a man who changed the country forever. He was born on October 18, 1939 in New Orleans. His parents were Robert Edward and Marguerite Claverie Oswald, they all tended to move a lot and he never stayed at the same school for very long. Oswald became violent 10 years before he killed John F. Kennedy. It was in 1952 and they moved to New York, there he "threatened his sister-in-law with a knife" ("Lee Harvey Oswald" 1) Then he started skipping school, and ended up getting sent to get a psychiatric evaluation. Later on he dropped out of school before he was 16. He enlisted into the Us Marine Corps, became a phenomenal marksman but got in trouble frequently with his superiors. That got him eventually discharged and he went to Moscow. After his visa expired, and he got out of psychiatric ward he got married to Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova. When returning to the United States he started talking to the Communist Party in America. ("Lee Harvey Oswald" 1)
After joining the party him and his wife moved to Dallas,Texas. Having multiple jobs, moving several times caused marital issues. She moved out for a little while and he decided to order a revolver and a rifle. He attempted to assassinate Gen. Edwin Walker yet failed and moved to New Orleans. There he realized that his wife was pregnant and the closer she got to her due date she decided to go and raise the child in Texas. Oswald went to Mexico in attempt to get a visa to there, and got denied so he returned to the United States. He gained a job at the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. On November 22, 1963 he brought his guns to work with him and told his friend they were curtain rods. ("Lee Harvey Oswald" 1)
Later that day, Kennedy was scheduled to drive through Dealey Plaza which his job looks over. He shot at 12:30 pm, the bullet hit both Kennedy and Governor Connally. Oswald was seen leaving quickly after shooting. Around 1:15 Oswald was seen by an officer from the Dallas Police Department. When the officer came towards Oswald he panicked and killed the officer with a gun he ordered earlier on. He was then arrested and it was determined 48 hours later that he was solely responsibly. ("Lee Harvey Oswald" 2) Even though conspiracies suggested that "... a second gunman-perhaps on the grassy knoll of dealy plaza- participated in the shooting" ("The JFK Assassination" 1) Then when Oswald was being transferred to the county jail a "...Dallas nightclub owner, Jack Ruby broke through the crowd and shot Oswald at close range" ("Lee Harvey Oswald" 2) The Warren Commission was created to end all the theories and conclude that Oswald acted alone in this horrible tragedy.
14.5/15 This is a conspiracy theory that people still talk about, believe it or not!
