Do you think any of the large assasinations throughout history were NOT a single, lone gunman as they say?

Question

Seriously, I really doubt that these were ALL lone gunmans. There had to be at least one that involved organizations or groups. I am talking about the assassinations of JFK, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Lincoln, Ghandi, and Malcom X, not to name many more. Why would all these big influential people be killed by one person? Does anyone here believe that it might have been a larger group using a lone gunman? I mean, there are just too many conspiracy theories around to say that there was a lone gunman for sure. If it really was a lone gunman, why would there be so many different accounts of the same story?

Such as RFK's shooting, there were too many bullets around. JFK, that supposed fourth shot. What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Lincoln's death was the result of a conspiracy. Booth's co-conspirators were tried and hung. Many assassinations (not all) throughout history have been the result of conspiracies and most, whether the work of a lone assassin or not, were probably not the work of a "lone gunman" since assassinations are to be found throughout recorded history and most probably occurred before firearms were even invented. Look at Julius Caesar.

Political figures make enemies easily as not everyone is necessarily going to subscribe to their views. Sometimes they are targeted by groups, other times by individuals.

Answer 2

It is much easier to kill someone as one person than it would be with many. Many people involved are that many more chances to be discovered. The assassinations you mention were all the work of one lone gunman.

In the case of Lincoln there was a conspiracy of southern agents do it, and others were attacked, but Booth was the one with the assignment of killing Lincoln. Secretary of State Seward was stabbed but survived, and the man who was supposed to kill VP Johnson backed out at the last minute.


There was no fourth shot at JFK.

Eyewitnesses are the WORST piece of evidence in any confused situation, so yes - there would be many different accounts.

Answer 3

It is interesting that in American History, all assassinations before the CIA are part of a conspiracy or movement, such as anarchy. Post CIA, they are lone nuts with no reason. What are the chances?
JFK. As for the fourth shot... The bullet mark on the underpass in Dallas still exists.

Answer 4

Anwar Sadat.

Answer 5

I think so but to much to go in to really but yes
