it was a huge television event the president speaking on tv, ordering federal troops into an american city, so some black kids to go to school. the fact that he used a thousand paratroopers to provide protection made a hell of a statement, especially in the black community. black people were used to the government being against them, not for them. so, the notion of troops being used for african-americans was a revolution, a revelation and a novelty. we were blessed by the fact that these images were shown by the media because there probably were other cases before us in which there was no media, no image, you know, if a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear
irony of ironies, the place where john f. kennedy died. roll. i believe the man don t take the microphone. keep your head up. let s start again. what is your reaction to the shooting of oswald? well, i think it s a deplorable situation. the man is entitled to a fair trial. they should give him a fair trial because killing him just like that ain t nothing. because that ain t going to bring president kennedy back to life. and after you get him, let him out on the street and let the people kill him. they should not only shoot him but cut him up in the pieces. put him everywhere in the fire and set it up for one day and then the next day start again. thank you. the man that i believe i didn t see it.
and oswald will be removed now. the ambulance is being pulled up in front of us here. here comes oswald, he s he is ashen and unconscious at this time, now being moved in. he is not moving. he s in the ambulance now. attendants, police are quickly moving in. the ambulance is leaving dallas police headquarters. where will he be taken? i m assuming parkland hospital. parkland hospital. irony of ironies, the place where john f. kennedy died. dallas city hall is usually a public building, but today it is under armed guard.
