I am a Kennedy assassination scholar and I can teach you everything you want to know about it. In bullet (ahem) form here is an outline:
1. JFK traveled to Dallas to drum up support for his 1964 bid for reelection.
2. Texas Governor John Connally rode with the President and both of their wives in the presidential limo along with two secret service agents (Greer and Kellerman)
3. Just as the car passed in front of the Texas Schoolbook Depository three shots rang out.
4. The first shot appeared to miss the car, ricochet off the asphalt, and struck a curb at the feet of James Tague, knocking a piece of concrete against his cheek--leaving a cut.
5. The second bullet passed through Kennedy's upper back-lower neck, emerged virtually undamaged, and continued to strike Governor Connally in the back (Connally was sitting directly in front of Kennedy at the time.)
6. Connally suffered five wounds to his body but was not killed.
7. The third bullet struck Kennedy in the back of the head, killing him.
8. One empolyee of the TSBD, Lee Harvey Oswald, had a mountain of evidence against him. As of today's date no other person has ANY evidence against them. You will notice that the answers before mine and all those follow after will NEVER, EVER name a person that killed Kennedy. Many like to believe that Oswald was not guilty but they will NEVER, EVER give a name of any other person that could have done it because they DON'T of anyone else that the evidence points to. It is a simple as that.
9. Lee Harvey Oswald was witnessed carrying a suspicious long brown paper package into work with him THE MORNING OF THE ASSASSINATION. Oswald told a coworker that it contained curtain rode--however after the assassination, NO CURTAIN RODS were found anywhere in the building. And Oswald (who was witnessed leaving the building 90 seconds after the assassination) was not carrying any curtain rods. However a rifle, that was matched to Oswald WAS found in the building, on the same floor the shots were fired from. The rifle had Oswald's palm prints on it and NO ONE ELSE'S.
10. Oswald was the ONLY employee to not return to work for the afternoon shift following the assassination.
11. Oswald caught a bus and attempted to flee the scene but the bus bogged down in a traffic jam so he jumped from the bus and hailed a cab.
12. Oswald then asked the cab driver to drop him off 4 blocks PAST where he lived. He then walked BACK to his apartment, got a loaded .38 revolver and fled his boarding house.
13. Oswald was next approached by Dallas Patrolman J.D. Tippit who asked Oswald some questions, since he matched the description given by people at the assassination of the gunman seen firing at the President.
14. When Oswald was asked these questions, he suddenly pulled out his revolver and shot and killed Officer Tippit in cold blood.
15. Oswald then fled and ducked into a theater without paying when he heard police cars pass nearby. When police were called about the suspicious character in the Texas Theater and tried to ask him a few questions, he jumped up, slugged a police officer in the jaw, pulled out his revolver, and tried to shoot Officer Nick McDonald, but his gun misfired.
The evidence against Oswald is OVERWHELMING. There is no doubt in any well-read historian's mind as to who killed JFK. Those who haven't read a great deal or those who prefer to get their history from Hollywood, like the scholar above who told you to watch the movie JFK, don't really mave much understanding of the real evidence in the case. If you want ANY questions answered, and I mean ANY question about the Kennedy assassination I will be happy to answer them. Simply contact me through my e-mail address on my profile. In fact I will anser ANYONE's questions about the Kennedy assassination. However, be warned, I know my stuff and your conspiracy theories won't float long once I attack them.
Good luck in your studies.

You can "read all about it" in various books, see various takes on it in movies, laugh at the Warren Report, etc. But if you really want to know the "reason why".....
Take yourself to a coin/gold/old money shop, ask for and find a "Series 1963" United States Note in either $5 or $20 denomination (and, I think, $2), which JFK ordered to be printed and circulated in 1963. If you can still get hold of one, compare it with the 5 and 20 dollar bills you have with you. Then research why the difference between the two and what each means to the U.S. economy. I believe that to be a significant clue to the real (in my opinion) motive for the killing of John Kennedy. It wasn't the Mafia or the Cubans or the act of a "lone crazed gunman". It was all about money.

hey there, i enjoyed the movie, jfk, also but you have to keep in mind that it covers almost every conspiracy theory that has been advanced over the years. i find it somewhat amusing to consider that it simply isnt possible for all the theories in the movie to have all happened because jfk would have needed to be assasinated a number of times by different people/groups. still it raises a lot of very interesting questions.
a more recent theory has been put forward that jfk was accidently shot in the head and killed when a secret service man reacted to an assasination attempt and discharged his m-16 inadvertantly while following the presidential vehicle. some circumstantial evidence would support this but it's pretty far-fetched in my opinion.
its seems clear to me that oswald was at least very much involved in the assasination but whether or not there was a conspiracy is the big question. were there more people involved. a more recent official inquiry seems to indicate that there is good reason to believe there maybe was.
eye-witnesses had presented a lot of evidence that seemed to indicate there were more shots and more suspicious people involved than the warren commision accepted. in case you arent aware, the warren commision was a group of highly regarded men, politicians and judges, who were appointed to investigate the kennedy assasination. they came up with a decision popularly known as the 'lone gunman' which described l. h. oswald as being the sole shooter. much evidence and eye-witness testimony seemed to have been discounted as they made their conclusions and even later evidence (specifically the kennedy autopsy findings and photographs) only added to the controversy.
what seems obvious is this: either oswald was a far better shot and damned lucky with his aim or there was at least another shooter who accomplished what oswald would have had an almost impossible chance of doing. another obvious statement is: kennedy had many extremely dangerous enemies...including powerful persons/groups in the u.s. a coup or assasination by one or more of these groups/persons is not that unlikely. the c.i.a., the f.b.i., the military establishment, the mafia, the cubans (castro), the russians, the list goes on. all had powerful reasons to hate kennedy.
its an interesting subject. i suggest you read into it and decide for yourself.

If you will type 'John F. Kennedy' into your search engine, you will have enough material to keep you reading for the next year. Kennedy's assassination was a tragic event, for many, many reasons, and it is a watermark in the way in which the US handles security issues today.

If you want fact, then academic peer-reviewed sources are the best, but hard to comprehend sometimes.
I will give some sources for you to look at
