I'm changeing a few things about the JFK assassination and saving JFK in the process. After I'm done I'd like some input on the plausibility and maybe the repercussions, long and short term. Here goes:
As the motorcade passes by Oswald's window he attempts to fire the first shot at President Kennedy, only for the Carcano's unreliability kicks in jamming the cartridge, frustrated he goes about taking the rifle apart and pulling the bullet out, by the time he is finished Kennedy's car is nearly out of view, he quickly shoots a shot at the car it ricochets up into Connely's neck going clean through killing the Governor at angle into the back seat, it grazes the first lady's left cheek and continues along landing in the lower part of a bystander's leg.
Oswald ignored what was happening in the car as the bullet ricocheted and tried for what he thought was a sure thing he turned his rifle towards Vice-President Johnson's car following behind the President's, already the Secret service is rushing Kennedy out while Johnson is being thrown to the seat of the car, in the middle of him being tossed down by Agent Rufus Youngblood two shots rang out one hit Johnson in the right lung and continueing into Rufus Youngblood's heart killing him. The second shot tore through Johnson's aorta killing him.
Kennedy's car raced to the hospital while Johnson's in hot pursuit where Johnson, Youngblood, and Connely are all declared dead there. Oswald made his escape as per OTL and is captured all the same. When he is being led out of the jailhouse Jack Ruby, his OTL assassin, while walking across the street to the jailhouse he is hit by a car breaking one of his ankles and legs preventing him from finishing his goal.
That's that then. Discuss. If you've got any questions let me know.
