Oswald did it...ALONE!

Agreed. Years back, in one of the old Men's Magazines, a guy wrote of a scenario I would love to believe, just because of the sheer irony.

He claimed that while Oswald was the shooter, he was really after Connolly and Kennedy was killed by mistake (lousy shot).

He claimed that Oswald had petitioned Connolly, then governor of Texas, to upgrade his discharge (can't remember if it was "less than honorable" or what) because with his current status, he couldn't get a GI Loan of VA mortgage. Connolly refused, three times.

The irony is that, yes Virginia, there was a coverup, but it was to hide the fact that Kennedy was killed by mistake. If that were known he would be an object of pity instead of a martyr.

Well, it works in my universe. Something H. L. Mencken would like, I suspect. (One of his quotes applies to the current presidential campaign: "Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.")

. . . he couldn't get a GI Loan of VA mortgage.

Should be "he couldn't get money under the GI Bill or a VA mortgage."

(THEY made me incoherent. (cough))

I have long agreed that it was very possible that Oswald was shooting at Connolly. He expressed animosity against Connolly, but he was supposed to have liked JFK. If there was a crossfire then either someone knew Oswald would be shooting at Connolly, or it was a fantastic coincidence. And coincidences, fantastic ones even, do happen.
