Wasn't it Lee Harvey Oswald? And wouldn't the CIA do that, if they wanted Israel to continue to exist as an extension of the US in the ME?

Lee Harvey Oswald did it. Because sometimes one guy with a gun is all it takes.

Like that little asshole Thomas Mathew Crooks.

One guy with a gun and some lax security, because the people doing the security are people, and generally bad at their jobs.

Fun fact, JFK had something like 9 less Secret Service agents than normal that day, because the night before they had a raging bender of a party and a bunch of them were too hung over to work.

Basically, under Kennedy, the Secret Service acted more as a frat bro club than a protection detail.

So, I had misremembered, 9 of the 28 had no food the day before, but did have a few hours of scotch and soda. 6 of the 9 kept drinking the entire night.

The other 19 agents might have had food, or might not, but they didn't end up at the same bar as the 9.
