One of the reasons Kennedy was elected was because he got the women's vote because they liked the fact that he was a good looking guy.
I remember when he was shot I was bowling in the Parchester lanes in the Bronx.
When they announced he was shot no one gave a shit they just kept bowling. Frankly I was not bothered when he got shot. What bothered me was the lack of reaction to his shooting by the other people bowling.
It affected me greatly. AND, like most my age, I will NEVER forget where I was and people's reaction. For me 10th grade, 5th period, Mrs. Bergstrom's class 1:00 pmish. Announcement over the PA. Total silence and shock that this could happen in our country. Teacher looked totally stunned. When bell rang, halls were very quiet.
On the school bus ride home, everyone was pretty much silent. Then one kid, speaks up and says, "In my opinion, they should have shot him again and again and again.:" Everyone remained silent. I was mad/shocked that he said that. I know if I get my yearbook out I can recognize his picture.
I am NO fan of GWBush OR the current moron President elect, but I would NEVER wish for or applaud an assassination.
