Take the drive that the limousine took. The shot from the 5th floor depository is a high angle right to left mover going away. A difficult shot. The grassy knoll, however, is a straight shot of less than a 100 yds coming almost directly towards the knoll.. A far easier shot.
After the 2nd shot fired hit JFK’s neck area he turned his head to the left so the 3rd shot fired hit his tilted head a slightly bigger target. Looking through the scope it wasn’t as difficult shot as may seem.
(The shot from the 5th floor depository is a high angle right to left mover going away. A difficult shot.)
Yes and don’t forget the tree obscuring the view from the 5th floor window.
No. No. No. The shot is from the 6th floor, not the fifth. It is at a target that is going downhill and to the left slightly. A pretty flat shot. If it came from the grassy knoll, it would have been at a moving target going from left to right. A difficult shot. Besides, Zapruder’s film would have caught that shooter.
The book depository is only about 80 yards. The Grassy knoll fence is maybe 30. The two story rail control tower behind the grassy knoll is 120. Guys at the fence claiming to be secret service turned away a motorcycle cop who charged up the hill immediately. Secret Service says they had nobody there.
Of course it was a team. And Oswald was duped and not part of it. Probably Naval Intel and told he was there to watch for something etc. As he said, he was a Patsy.
Then mobster Jack Ruby, silenced him.
It was a hit. CIA overwatched and used mob and Cuban exiles. Oswald was the designated nobody to take the blame. He was supposed to be killed by Tippet.
The part most idiotic is that Oswald had no plan to escape. No car nearby, nothing. That is because he thought he had a ride from the team. His big plan? Walk home and get his 38? And then walk to a theater? If he was gonna do it that day he woulda had the gun right there and had a plan.
Hate to burst your bubble but...
I had a professor at Florida Atlantic University, Dr. Pat Marino, 5hat was on the grassy knoll that day, no gun men.

Less than 100 yards? Try less than 30 yards. I’ve stood there multiple times and am a retired LEO, so I have a high degree of confidence in my statement.
Been to the actual sniper nest in Texas when
We lived there. Also owned a carcano. Not a very sophisticated rifle. That angle from windows a tough shot. A straight on much easier as it could be locked in from a distance then competed when the target is the largest in the scope
Long time hunter who could place three shots in an inch at 100 yards from a prone position
