Please correct me if i am wrong, but is he the guy that is behind him? I know I can only speak for myself, I am amazed that anybody was still alive from that day as that was almost 56 years ago. While we do know who shot and killed the first 3 presidents, we will know never for sure who killed Kennedy as Jack Ruby was too big of a hurry to shoot him, without them finding out for sure if they had the right guy. But at best if you want to get away with killing somebody first you don't jill somebody in front of witnesses and you don't do it on live tv either. Jack Ruby died a few years later amazing the guy was almost 100 years old as well.
