Jamie Lee Curtis is worried about America
The 66-year-old also addressed the mass spread of the video recordings of the crime. There were numerous videos on the net only minutes after the fatal shot, which explicitly showed how Kirk is hit by a ball into the carotid artery.
“I know that there are all the video recordings of his murder. I know people who saw them,” said Curtis. “The Zapruder film is the only moving picture document that shows the horror of the attack on President John F. Kennedy. But now we have such pictures. We are dull, stunned-but they stay in us. We do not know enough about what that triggers. I never want to see this film material.”
