He had a finger in every pie,” he [Detective James Leavelle] explains.“I remember sitting down and talking generally about the club when all of a sudden he became very animated. He stood up and said, ‘Do you know what I’d love Jim? I’d love it if one day you came in and some wise guys tried to make a move at you. I’d step in and save you’.“I said, ‘Why would you want that Jack?’ He just looked at me and said, ‘Cause I want to be a hero Jim. A hero’

Case Closed?

Oswald fired 3 shots (missed the first one)

The government investigated the murder for years and concluded that Oswald acted alone.

JFK was killed by a conspiracy of high government officials with LBJ working with the CIA, the mafia and anti-Castro Americans who all want revenge for Kennedy’s lack of support in the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. At the same time (in contradiction), Castro killed JFK with Russia’s help. Jack Ruby killed LHO so he wouldn’t talk.
