Oswald's history of violence

President Kennedy's assassination was not the first time Lee Harvey Oswald harmed another person; he has an extensive history of violence. Oswald had committed other assassinations and is rumored to have been physically and verbally abusive to his wife, Marina. His known anger issues combined with his strong distaste for the United States government and past military experience pushed him to assassinate President Kennedy out of pure hatred. Oswald was constantly arguing with Marina throughout their marriage. Often their fights would end in Oswald physically abusing her. Marina and their children would regularly move in and out depending on how severe and frequent the abuse was.^[1] Approximately six months before JFK's assassination, Oswald attempted to assassinate General Edwin Walker because he was a right-wing extremist.
