[Tell It Right]

I wish I was old enough to have been alive when the Dims were anti-communist.

[DugwayDuke]

Old news. This was known in the sixties.

[PGR88]

he took his Mannlicher-Carcano rifle to Major General Edwin Walker‘s house, stood by the fence, aimed towards the window, and shot at him.

So Oswald missed a stationary target from about 40', but hit Kennedy 2 out of 3 times, from 265 feet, while kennedy was moving away from him at 20+ mph?

[DesertRhino]

That is according to the General Walker, a homo who propositioned an undercover cop at a Dallas public restroom. Never married, no kids. Who knows if Oswald shooting at him is true?

[uranium penguin]

So, flat trajectory, stationary target. probably inside of 100 yards, plenty of time to focus and carefully place shot.. misses

100yds+, downward angle, moving target, rushed.. hits. twice!

[TakebackGOP]

It was Oswald who killed JFK.

[Mouton]

Yes, he must have been doing some serious practice!

[realcleanguy]

Lee Oswald was a progressive Leftist Democrat

[Macho MAGA Man]

Based on what?

I believe they tried to recreate Oswalds shots and couldn’t. Problem being that having Oswald being the lone shooter was critical because if he wasn’t, it meant that someone got away with it.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

You took the words right out of my mouth!

[Glad2bnuts]

Marina Oswald also confessed that her husband shot the Archduke Ferdinand triggering WW 1.

Point is, she would say ANYTHING to no be deported and be separated from any children or friends.

[mass55th]

That was reported after Kennedy was assassinated. The CIA probably sent him on a a practice run.

haha, best you could do????

Quite easy to do if you're looking through a scope sighted for a more distant yardage. He missed high, so the bullet was on its way up on the parabolic arc. Just an example, an AR-15 can be sighted at 25 meters for 100 meters accuracy. At 25 meters the bullet is on its way up, at 100, it's on its way back down.

[mass55th]

Maybe Oswald wasn’t aiming to kill him, just send him a message. We’ll never know.

[Fai Mao]

Actually those shots HAVE been recreated several times.

[Fiji Hill]

It was Oswald who killed JFK.
