[http://real-life-heroes-and-good-guys.wikia.com/wiki/John_F._Kennedy John F. Kennedy], the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time [[File:Jfk-900x532.png|thumb|326px]](18:30 UTC) on Friday, November 22nd, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was fatally shot while travelling with his wife Jackie, in a Presidential limousine (Texas Governor John Connolly was wounded in the assassination). An official investigation, that became known as the Warren Commission named after Chief Justice [http://real-life-heroes-and-good-guys.wikia.com/wiki/Earl_Warren Earl Warren], investigated the assassination eventually coming to the conclusion that [[Lee Harvey Oswald]] acted alone in killing the President and Police Officer J.D. Tippit. They also concluded that [[Jack Ruby]], a Dallas nightclub ~~owner with~~ mafia ties,~~ acted~~ alone in killing Oswald two days after the assassination.

However many people believe that Kennedy's assassiantion was the result of a conspiracy (Jack Ruby himself claimed the assassination was a conspiracy!) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zd4r4O0o_Y). Some insist that there were one or two more shooters in Dealey Plaza (like the [[Grassy knoll shooter]]), some believe that Oswald was framed by the US Government because of his ties to [[communism]], others say that the [[KGB (Soviet Union)|KGB]] (Soviet Union Secret Service) or pro-[[Fidel Castro|Castro]] supporters carried out the assassination, while many blame the [[American Mafia|mafia]], Texas oil barons (like the Hunt Brothers) or the [[Ku Klux Klan]] for the assassination, and others concluded that the US government (the FBI, CIA, and even Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson) ordered the assassination because of his lack of interest in fighting an [[Vietnam War|all out war in Vietnam]].
