On another thread, Veronica essentially said the same thing. My response to her was the following:

It was physically impossible for it to have been the work of just one man. Consider the physics- look at the Zabruder film. Even better, try to fire three bullets from a bolt-action rifle, and fire accurately over that distance at a moving target. I have friends who are professionals at such skills, and even they can't do it....

Therefore, since Oswald could not have done it alone, it is, by definition, a conspiracy. That you fail to recognize the realities of what I have told you, doesn't mean I'm crazy- just that you are uneducated as to the facts.

Interesting. I have heard "professionals" say that a rifle such as Oswald used could have been fired with similar rapidity and accuracy by an expert rifleman. I believe tests proved this. Anyway, the bullets that struck Kennedy and Conally did not hit with pinpoint accuracy.

Watch the Unsolved History program pertaining to this segment of the Kennedy Assassination, and Oswald's movements after the shooting. You might find the recreations within it interesting and informative. I did.

bull, then they aren't very good shots. really a pretty easy shot.

Forgot to mention, that Unsolved History is on The Discovery Channel Wednesday nights. Check it out.

I disagree.

Consider the physics- look at the Zabruder film.

Yup. I've done so. I'm not a ballistics expert, however, so I have to go to others for much analysis.

Even better, try to fire three bullets from a bolt-action rifle, and fire accurately over that distance at a moving target. I have friends who are professionals at such skills, and even they can't do it.

That may be meaningful for you, but it's meaningless for me. I don't know your friends. I don't know their qualifications.

I do know that I've seen a 70+ year old man sight a bolt action rifle, fire, work the bolt, re-sight, fire, work the bolt, re-sight and fire again in 7.2 second, 1.1 seconds less than the three shots in Dallas took. And it didn't seem particularly rushed.

I've read a lot of the conspiracy stuff. I've heard all of the arguments about why Oswald couldn't have done it. I started out with the mind-set that Oswald hadn't done it. And I, at this point, based on all that I've read and seen, am completely convinced that Oswald acted alone. There's absolutely no doubt left in my mind...

My wife could do it. Needless to say, I have never cheated on her.
