Bush did it!!!!

[Jaysun]

I think it was Captain Kangaroo. Just look at him, so crazy and assassin like.

[Darkwolf377]

Yes, the Senate will open hearings on where Gonsalez, Bush and Cheney were that day. Oh, and Iraq was based on a lie, blah blah blah.

Life is starting to resemble a Thomas Pynchon novel.

[Blueflag]

For those of us FReepers alive when it happened ... I never really believed it then, and my PARENTS never bought the story for sure.

The most telling evidence to me has always been the simplest. Take the rifle Oswald used, and try to reproduce the shots in the time frame, on target, employing the skills of a trained sharpshooter. I remember (at least I think I do) black and white film of a guy trying to fire a shot, cycle the bolt action, aim and fire again (lather rinse repeat) and he could not do it in the same time frame/ accuracy as Oswald who was not a trained shooter.

Here we go again.

The findings "mean that the bullet fragments from the assassination that match could have come from three or more separate bullets."

Or they could NOT have come from three or more separate bullets. Note carefully that these researchers are NOT claiming that their analysis demonstrates that the bullet fragments did in fact come from three or more separate bullets.

If that is the case, "then a second assassin is likely, as an additional bullet would not be attributable to the main suspect, Mr Oswald," the report said.

Note the "if that is the case" language - they are saying that IF something is true which their study does NOT in fact actually claim to demonstrate is true (i.e., that the fragments must have come from three or more separate bullets), then two shooters are likely. The "if that is the case" language makes this statement meaningless, because the researchers have not demonstrated that "it is the case."

"We believe there is no scientific basis from the fragment matching performed by Dr Guinn to conclude that only two bullets were the sources of the assassination fragments."

Although it is possible that only two bullets were the source; they are saying merely that this one particular test made did not in and of itself prove that to be the case.

Heavy spin in this article.

Isn’t the 50 year sealed evidence and testimony gag order ready to expire in 6 years?

[Beckwith]

The first on-site reports said the shooting sounded like machine gun fire.

Check it out — I remember it vividly.

Maybe it was two groups of people who were unaware of each other. Some communist nut working from the book depository and and a group of organized crime members working from the train yards. That’s why it might not make any sense.

A NEW analysis of remaining bullet fragments from the 1963 assassination of US president John F Kennedy suggests a second shooter may have been involved.

Well --- Duhhh!!! They found grass stains on one of the bullet fragments ---

[LantzALot]

I had some friends who were wild conspiracy theorists (or, should I say,"believers?") who showed me an "enhanced" video of the Zapruder tape, wherein the driver of Kennedy's Limo turned around with a chrome-plated pistol and delivered the fatal shot.

I read a book by the son of Sam (Giancana, that is) who said, "Daddy did it."

Contrary to what other poster have said, I HAVE seen demonstrations showing that the three shots could have been delivered by one person in the time frame, and Lee Harvey Oswald was trained by the USMC in marksmanship.

Having said all that, I still am reluctant to believe the "Acted alone" conclusion. But the key word here is "believe." All of the conspiracy "proofs" I have seen are too suspect.

[redgolum]

For later read.

Saw a show where an Aussie marksman went to great lengths to recreate the shot that hit Kennedy and the Governor. He proved pretty conclusively that it could have happened as described.

The marksman posts occasionally on a hunting board I go to, and talked about the show. He seems pretty legit.

[VegasBaby]

It took these guys 40 years to figure out what 90% of America already knew about a second gunman? Oy.

[RetiredArmy]

I was sitting in 7th grade history class when the principal put this over the school intercom that Kennedy had been shot. We sat there and listened to it the remainder of the day. Did not even change classes any longer. Then, that was all that was on TV until they dropped Kennedy in his grave. Wall to wall coverage. Lord help us if that had happened to JFK today. 400 cable shows an hour. Wait till Slick Willie Klinton hits the dust. They will maul the TV screens of the greatest of all time for two weeks.

A NEW analysis of remaining bullet fragments from the 1963 assassination of US president John F Kennedy suggests a second shooter may have been involved.

This news story is wrong. Even if every conclusion of this new study is correct, it does not suggest another shooter.

Previous NAA studies of the bullet fragments have said that all fragments came from only two bullets. This study says that it is *possible* that the fragments *could have* come from more than two. It doesn't suggest that there were in fact more than two, just that it can't be ruled out based on NAA.

[Sapper26]

Bush did it!!!!

Whether you know it or not, there are some who link GHWB to JFK’s assassination. Not to be outdone, W took time off from campaigning to kill JFK,Jr. It’s on the internet so it must be true.

[LukeL]

On multiple occasions trained snipers have recreated exactly what happened that day, and showed a sole gunman could have done everything.
