Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost a child while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Now it gets really weird.

Now hang on to your seat.

Several of these are outright incorrect and others are stretching things to refer to them as coincidences.

I'm not convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald actually shot President Kennedy. Too many inconsistencies, doesn't agree with the Zapruder film or first hand witness reports.

Why, because they would shoot you in the head too?
