Anyone who has visited Oswald’s position on the 6th floor of the Texas Book Depository, and has hunted, can see it clearly.
Oswald had a perfect shot as JFK’s motorcade came directly towards his position down Houston Street. JFK was moving very slowly and the motorcade was trapped by other cars, and crowds lining the street. Oswald had a full body shot.
Yet oddly, Oswald waited to fire until JFK’s car turned and sped-up, was moving away from him and only a head-shot was available. Why would he do that?
The most obvious conclusion is that Oswald waited because there was a planned crossfire/kill-zone from other shooters.
Good point; they also found the fingerprints of one Malcolm Wallace, better known as LBJ’s hit man, on the Sixth Floor of the Texas School Book Depository. I wonder how they got there, apparently the “press” had and has no such interest.
Just as JFK's limo was coming into the crossfire zone, the guy on the grassy knoll pumped the umbrella up and down a couple of times.
The guy in the storm drain gets into position, raises the rifle, and shoots twice, then beats cheeks out of there through the storm drain.
One finds this a much better explanation of what happened than the Warren Report. It was on the X-Files. :)
I have been to the site and to the museum in the TSBD, for Oswald to shoot, as JFK was approaching him, he would have to place himself on the right side of the window, exposing himself fully. By being on the left side the wall would obscure him from view.
DING! DING! DING!
I have been down there many times, as I am from the DFW area. JFK’s motorcade came to all but a complete stop when they were making a 90º turn from Houston onto Commerce Street. Any assassin, whose only want was to kill JFK, would have taken that shot - PERIOD! He had full body shots on JFK, Jackie, Gov. Connally, the driver...everyone inside that car could have been hit, easily!!

THAT is the false claim here. Kennedy was shot in Frame 225 of the Zapruder film. Conspiracy nuts pick for no good reason blurs 3, 4, and 5 on the Zapruder films to suppose when the shots took place. In reality, he was shot on blurs 1, 3, and 5, making the line-up perfect, and giving Oswald plenty of time to shoot.
Oswald waited?
Nope. Please read “Case Closed” by Posner and let me know what you think?

I’ve visited that site and I agree 1000%.
Coming directly toward him, fully exposed vs. driving away at an angle going slightly downhill. I’ve been hinting before and know with certainty that the former is a much, MUCH easier shot. Why he wouldn’t take it can only be explained in one of two ways. He wasn’t there to shoot in the first place, or it wasn’t yet time according to the plan.
