JFK Assassination 50th Anniversary: What do you think happened?

The 60th anniversary of the JFK assassination is quickly coming up. There will be TV Specials and documentaries to mark the occasion I'm sure. I'll probably watch a few of them.
Anybody who starts out saying that Oswald was the lone gunman loses me real fast, though.

I will never buy Oswald was a lone shooter. He graded in the middle of sharpshooter, with a stationary target, and not using a bolt action rifle. I'll never accept he got off the 3 shots, with a bolt action on a moving target in 6 seconds.

No one ever showed where the bullets found on the 6th floor came from. There were 4 and 4 only. Those 6.5mm bullets were not very common but they NEVER traced where Oswald (or whoever) purchased them. I read once that there were only 2 gun stores in Dallas that carried them and Oswald didn't buy them there. They never found any type of bullet purchase made by Oswald of any mail order ammo. None.

Furthermore - they never found any evidence that Oswald had ever practiced shooting with that rifle (or anything else after he came back from Russia).

Oswald as the lone assassin makes no sense. If he was just a lone nut that wanted to get famous by shooting the President he passed up several BETTER opportunities.

1) When the limo made the left hand turn from Main onto Houston it slowed down to make the turn. That would have given Oswald a straight shot (or shots) at Kennedy at a time where the only direction the driver could go was TOWARDS the TSBD - right towards Oswald.

2) Assuming he didn't want that shot the limo made another severe left turn right UNDER Oswald - He could have dropped the rifle onto Kennedy from there and got his man.

Instead he allegedly waiting until the foliage from a Live Oak tree partially obscured the limo to start shooting. This makes no sense at all for a lone shooter. It does make sense if you have say another shooter in front of Kennedy say on the grassy knoll where all of the bystanders started running towards after the shooting stopped.

But hey - our government wouldn't lie to us would it?

[edit] if you want to see what a lone gunman Oswald would have passed up check out a disturbing game called JFK Reloaded. It puts you up on the 6th floor of the TSBD and simulates the motorcade. Very interesting if quite a bit tasteless.

Oswald was the lone gunman that day.

Now..why Oswald was there and what motivated him...I don't think we've been told the whole story.

I think there was a second shooter. Where that second shooter was located? Your guess is as good as mine -- but I think the grassy knoll is unlikely. It was too close to the crowd, too many potential witnesses. Maybe the Dal-Tex building?
Okay...

2 shooters.

When the first bullet was fiered he was traveling 11 MPH. About the same speed as an experienced jogger.

And you're telling me that this team of assassins only scored 2 or 3 hits? Hell, me and my brother probably could have done a better job than these guys.

Gotcha. Warren commission wrong. Conspiracy theory nuts know exactly what happened, and have perps under surveillance at this very minute, because the time is right to move in and make an arrest in the tradition of Adams and Jefferson, on a 50th year anniversary.

Makes perfect sense if using all the critical thinking one would expect of a grapefruit.
Well, I think Oswald was the lone gunman in Dallas on that day.

The multiple shooter theories just don't make sense. Kennedy would have been hit 4 or 5 times by two lousy snipers. So I don't put much faith in any other shooter having been there. Additionally, there is the physical evidence of Oswald having brought in his gun--he said he was bringing in curtain rods that were never found in the TSBD. The guy who gave him a lift said he had this oblong package that was cumbersome as well. Oswald's rifle was missing from the place it was stored. He left his money and his wedding ring behind and he left the TSBD after it happened. If you are innocent...why run at all? Why run...then take a bus, taxi, then walk home and get your gun?

So I am 99.9% sure that Oswald was the lone gunman and 100% sure he was one of the "gunmen" in any scenario.

Why he did it? I think you need to look at organized crime. Ruby was a shady character with many previous arrests and ties to organized crime. I think he wanted to silence Oswald. Its speculation on my part but it fits.

I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.

Not if they were really good shots, and not if they were attempting to stay within the "lone gunman" narrative, but just making sure he didn't miss.

First it was the secret service agent who was in the car with JFK:


Now it's the doctors who attended to him at Parkland:


At some point, you gotta start wondering why they are not relesing the investigation files...
 
There are a few other people who still believe that. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Just another day in a Christian Nation that continues it's condescending arrogance of killing in giving thanks "one nation under God with equal justice under color of being forgiven law". Such a despicable & deranged national religion of thieving US Constitution Bill of Rights arsonists as a Mohammed Valhalla pedophilia martyrdom jihad crusade....
