I’m no expert on the JFK assassination, nor do I plan to become one. But for those who are: Why are some people so easily impressed by arguments, and even evidence, that something “could not have happened”? Such a claim doesn’t seem all that persuasive to me.
No human could’ve possibly fired 3 shots in that amount of time so clearly Oswald was a robot! < /s >
The most convincing argument I've yet seen that Oswald did not act alone is the view from the shooter's nest in the book repository. During a recent worktrip to Dallas, I had a little time on my hands and walked to the scene of the crime. Went to the sixth floor and crouched at the window next to the Oswald window, which is now glassed in.
I'm not sniper material by a long shot, but I'm a pretty dang good shot through open sights. Crouching right there, the thought of making those shots with a pristine rifle, much less that clunker, looked WAY unlikely. WAY.
I also stood behind the fence on the grassy knoll. Hard to imagine an EASIER shot, and the trajectory to me matched PERFECTLY with what my impression has always been when viewing the Zapruder film.
BTW, a question for those more familiar than I with Dealey(sp?) Plaza: At the spot behind the fence on the grassy knoll, was that big storm drain in place in 1963? I'm assuming not, since I've never seen mention of it, but man oh man, talk about an escape route; the shooter could've made the shot, dropped into the hole, and scurried away underground.
Side commentary: What an awful thing that day turned out to be. First of all, such an assassination is cold-blooded unjustifiable murder any way you cut it. Second, IMHO a far sleazier man inherited the office. Third, a mediocre-at-best president became an idealized martyr.

Because I am so unimpressed by the Warren Commission investigation, and sloppy coverup...That Simple...
The worse evidence of what happened in Dealy Plaza is the govt’s. There’s NO Chain of evidence, or logical explanation they provide.
You have to have ‘blind faith’ in the govt’s evidence to accept it.....
