7. “This Is MY Body…”
Following the official news of Kennedy’s death, his security detail began transporting the coffin down the hall. But news travels fast, so the local officials were already there to stop JFK’s detail from taking the lifeless body to Washington.
What followed was among the dumbest “local vs. federal authority” standoffs in history. Confronting the president’s detail — some of whom were still wearing suits dipped in blood — Dallas County Coroner Earl Rose had the boldness to demand that, according to local law, an autopsy needed to be done before the president could leave the state.
When the Secret Service refused, Rose reportedly shouted: “This is my body!” In fact, he was taking advantage of an oversight: there was no law stating that murdering the US president was a federal crime (as a result of this incident, Congress made a rectification in late 1963).
However, Kennedy’s people pushed past the local officials and went to Dallas Love Field carrying JFK’s casket. The posthumous power struggle was recreated in the 2013 movie Parkland.

This site is probably one of the most miserable clickbait advertisement traps in the internet.
It really sucks— and if you’re smart— you’ll block it … as I am going to.
I think it was all a government plan. No way a man gets shot from behind and the wound is bigger on entrance than exit.
Back in 1960 Kennedy was in broomal, pa. at lawrence park shopping center on his campain when my dad and I were stopped in trafic because of his motorcade. I was only 8 at the time when dad said get in back of the pickup’s bed so I could see him pass by. It was a 2 lane road, sproul rd. well he went by and I sheepishly peeped out of the pickup’s bed and saw Mr. Kennedy and his wife wearing those pill box hats! I will never forget that day . He did have flaming red hair unlike some photos. Dad’s truck was an old ’51 Dodge pickup with those big fenders and running boards. Neat times back then!
I remember I was at my sister’s house and holding my baby while coming down the stairs. We were watching TV and saw it happen. We just sat there and cried. We were in shock as was the rest of the world. Every November 22 we would be together and pray. My other daughter (by marriage) was born that day and the joy we would have shared was completely overshadowed by this horrible event. My sister just passed away, but I still secretly go off by myself and pray. It will never be forgotten. Also seeing Walter Cronkite cry is something that remains in my mind.
I was in High School in class ( History I think ) when the news came over the P A system and the entire school was let out. Everybody was like ” WTF ” , I had never seen the school that still. That’s something I’ll never forget.
Well the truth surely is not what the world was told. I’m for the truth being revealed.
I believe Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy. It was a government job
Aw baloney!
