Reply #33: JFK Agents [View All]

[jmondine]

Most of the SS agents in the follow-up car were hung over from the night before. They'd been out partying at a nightclub owned by a friend of Jack Ruby until past 4 A.M. During that time, JFK was being guarded by two unarmed firemen.

Clint Hill, the agent who actually responded to the shooting and hopped on the back of the limo, was the only exception, to my knowledge. Then again, he wasn't originally scheduled to be on the Dallas trip. He was asked to join at the last minute by Jackie Kennedy, and his official assignment was to protect the First Lady.

FWIW.

There are plenty of crazy, crackpot theories about the Kennedy assassination, the craziest of all being that Lee Harvey Oswald carried it out alone.
