"... But the Powers that be (not sure who) wants us to believe that this marginal shooter took a notoriously inaccurate bolt action rifle and performed an assassination with world class precision in under 6.8 seconds at a moving target from 6 floors above his victim."

Stop quoting gobbledygook lifted directly from Oliver Stone's 'JFK'.

It wasn't a difficult shot, Oswald was a competent shooter, the Mannlicher-Carcano is a better than average rifle with a powerful flat-shooting cartridge, and the time was longer than 6.8 seconds.

Can you post convincing evidence that shot #2 was the bullet that went through JFK & Connelly, then was found at Parkland.. - Virtually undamaged?

The Warren Commission could not, and the Oswald as lone gunman theory fell apart.

Oswald was not a competent shooter, and I'm not quoting anything from the JFK movie simply because I haven't seen the thing.

If I quoted something that was in the movie it's completely by accident.

The Manlicher Carcano is an innacurate piece of crap. Anyone who has ever fired that weapon can tell you that.

Oswald couldn't hit a stationary target at 200 Meters with an extremely accurate weapon (The M14). There's no way in hell that he's going to hit a moving target 6 floors below him on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or any other shot unless he's using a MK19 40MM Grenade launcher that he can then use the impact of the rounds to walk it into his target.

If you wish to believe the Fairy Tale that the Warren Commission fostered on this country then be my guest, it's well within your rights. But don't tell me that Oswald made that shot. He didn't, it was almost mathematically impossible for him to do the shooting based on his level of skill.

and if you are getting upset by my posts maybe you should skip over them. Your angst is showing

It wasn't a difficult shot, Oswald was a competent shooter, the Mannlicher-Carcano is a better than average rifle with a powerful flat-shooting cartridge, and the time was longer than 6.8 seconds.

And he missed on the first shot, and the second should would likely have been non-fatal.

I'm still trying to figure out where the "world class precision" comes in.

Plus while the target was "moving", it wasn't moving very fast, and it was moving almost directly away from Oswald, making it almost motionless in the scope -- a far easier proposition than a target which is moving laterally. Finally, after the first two shots, the driver of the limo foolishly *slowed down* to assess the situation, which made Oswald's final (and fatal) shot even easier. Big mistake.
