If you actually look into the facts, and not conspiracy baloney, you’ll find the bullet was neither pristime nor magic, and Oswald was the perp.

Bystanders and cops rushed up the grassy knoll, thinking that’s where the kill shot came from. but they were conspiracy theorists I guess

[MCF]

Exactly.

The Commie did it, end of story.

I'm reading Bugliosi's book, the one where he defends the Warren Report. I have a lot of respect for Bugliosi (though he got Bush v Gore wrong). I am only 100 pages into it, so check back with me next year and I will let you know how it turns out.

So far though, two take-a-ways: He does not refute Hugh McDonald's 'Appointment in Dallas', though he does ridicule it (you lose points on that Vince) and so far he also gives Jim Garrison the short shrift.

Not convinced (yet) that LHO was not a patsy.

A problem is that the WC testimony from the FBI expert witness states that the gun was basically crap. He does not come out and say that, since Hoover was pushing the Lone Nut theory, but his meaning is clear. As found it was completely inoperative. Big problem with the sights and the bolt.

Where did Oswald learn how to shoot, his deteriorating Marine score would not get any better without practice.

Unlike many here I don’t pretend to know what actually happened or why but I do have questions about the Warren Commission report. Oswald is celebrated as a Marine Sharpshooter. But the Sharpshooter designation is not the highest level. If you are a 2 bit wannabe you buy a Manlicher-Carcano. If you are a serious assassin you use a Remington 700. If you are even a Sharpshooter depending on surprise in your high percentage first shot before the motorcade takes evasive action making all subsequent shots lower percentage you don’t make your first shot high and to the left penetrating a curb. The alleged murder weapon was found at the Texas School Book Depository yet an identical weapon was found in Oswald’s home? No one’s hands are clean in this and too much money was made in the Vietnam war to ignore potential conspirators.

Oswald was on the first fllor when the shots were fired according to photos and testomony. The rifle was taken into the room where his body was kept, corrupting the evidence.

[LS]

100% correct.

Posner blew up the conspiracy theories with computer simulations.
