The problem I have with the JFK assasination is two-fold:
#1: If it were a lone nut - only wanting to kill Kennedy - he would have taken the closer oncoming shot from the 6th floor of the TSBD instead of a “going away” shot down a bit of a hill and turning a bit (and over a tree).
#2: If it were truly a conspiracy with a shooter on the grassy knoll - that would have required more that two people. Realistically one would need security around the fence to insure the shooter could get the shot off, a driver who wouldn’t floor it after the first shot, some police participation, and agreement from other agencies (like FBI) to not investigate to make a name for themselves.
Neither situation seems all that feasible - but the lone shooter seems more plausible to me than a grand conspiracy.
50 years...literally thousands of books..movies, documentaries, etc..yet every shred of evidence points to one man only, Oswald. Imagine if everything happened just as it did, yet only Connally was hit...Oswald would have been tried and convicted in less than a day. They did the same thing with 9-11...wait about a year,,,then the conspiracies start. Any big event, its always the same it seems. Its like some people just cant get they’re head around it. In most murder cases, you can take any one piece of the puzzle, and twist it anyway you want it to be, and make it look conspiratorial. I studied the Manson- Sharon Tate murder case for years. The first police to arrive on the scene found a pair of horned rimmed eye glasses right in the middle of the crime scene...for months, this was the main clue the police had about the crime...long story short, after it all came out,,,everyone was convicted, all the years have gone by, everyone was asked about the glasses, when there was nothing left to prove or deny, to this day, no one has any idea who the glasses belonged too. or how they got there. All the puzzle pieces never completely fit...
The one fact, if it be a fact, that I learned of recently and seems to refute any and all conspiracy theories, is that Oswald had worked in the book depository for many months before the JFK trip to Dallas was even conceived of. It was when he heard of it that he saw this opportunity and built his sniper's nest etc.
It seems airtight to me, if it stands as fact.
Saw a TV program on the JFK assassination the other day that ended with a complete different conclusion than what I have ever heard before — JFK was shot by one of his SS bodyguards whose M-16 accidentally dicharged.
(SS stands for Secret Service and NOT Schutz Staffel)
I think there might be a couple of reasons LHO did not shoot JFK as he was coming toward him. The motorcade was not on Houston for long before turning on to Elm in front of the TSBD. Maybe LHO needed the time to positively ID JFK as he had never seen a presidential motorcade before. Maybe he lost his nerve for a second. Maybe he believed that shooting him from behind might afford a better chance for escape. In any event, one witness reported someone who was believed to be LHO looking toward the triple underpass from the 6th floor before the motorcade arrived. So it seems as though LHO planned to do the shooting when the car was underneath him and/or when it reappeared from under the tree.
