The Grassy Knoll (it got this sobriquet from an offhand description by one of the eyewitness accounts of the assassination) is probably one place where a shot COULD NOT have come from.

My son recently pointed out to me, in a state of amusement, that the word "knoll" is never heard in any other context.

The Zapruder film is proof alone that their had to be at least one other gunman than the one (probably not even Oswald) in the school book depository. Kennedy's head was immediately knocked backwards and to the left by the impact of the head shot. Indicating the shot must have come somewhere from the front and to the side. J. Edgar Hoover was in control of the Warren comission and that immediately destroys their credibility. The magic bullet theory is so rediculous that even someone not familiar with guns can see through it. How did the police get a complete discription of Oswald within fifteen minutes of the assasination? No records of Oswald's hours long interrogation. Then after he leaves the interrogation he is conviently killed to keep his mouth shut. The whole thing is shady. Just like the King assaination.

If there was conspiracy you can rule out mafia as being the only ones behind it because they may have the ability to kill Kennedy but they don't have the ability to cover it up. It would take several key government officials to pull it off. These people would have to be in on it in some way: J.Edgar Hoover, Lyndon Johnson, and whoever was the head of the CIA at the time. These people would be needed to cover it up effectively. All of them had motive. The idea that there was no conspiracy is rediculous.

Web Definition: knoll - a small natural hill

If I see a hill, I will call it a hill. I have also wondered why they call it a knoll. Does it sound more ominous?

I shouldn't laugh about this...but when the space shuttle broke up, the early reports
were about it being visible over the Dallas area and there was speculation
(not totally unreasonable) about sabotage, given that the shuttle had an Israeli/Jewish
crew-member during these troubled times...
I called my cousin in Dallas and as we talked about this situation,
I said "Looks like the grassy knoll has moved into space above Dallas this time."
