Who Killed JFK?

[CAJUNLAWYER]

This all happened 10 years before the Nixon fiasco exposed exactly how many "spooks" (not all CIA types) were involved in "policy shenanigans." The mob and the CIA were never "one and the same" as an early post alluded to. The CIA contracted out much wet work to them through "intermediaries." Whomever was behind JFK getting "reassigned" is dead and so much time has passed, it don't matter. We'd still be where we are even if he lived. Joe

Whoaaa there Sparky-let's not close down an entertaining thread with common sense.

I have to admit, it is genuinely amazing he could fire that accurately with a Manlicher gun which was once nicknamed the Gun Who Never Hurt Anybody On Purpose. It is amazing, but possible. I might be persuaded that Oswald had an accomplice ahead of the cars who also fired a shot, which does not reduce Oswald's guilt.

It isn't the rifle that kills, it is the man shooting it. I have been to the 6th floor of the School Book Depository building......watching cars make the turn and travel in the direction of JFK's Limo....I am not the least bit surprised that anyone with rifle training could make those shots....poor rifle or not.

Lee Harvey Oswald self-described himself as a "patsy." I lived through those days, and the evidence seems to me to indicate that is just what he was. Jack Ruby shot him to prevent him from talking. I don't know if it was the mob, the CIA, Castro, or Lyndon Johnson himself that set up his murder, but I'm positive that Oswald wasn't the lone wolf he was made out to be.

I remember watching the news reels and saw an older officer with a Colt pocket auto either 32 or 380 and a lot of stag gripped S&Ws. But I still think Oswald did it just because he could have and no one has proved otherwise.

I was in dental school and standing in a stair well high in the Baylor Medical Center complex looking toward downtown Dallas and watching the parade that day. Had tickets to hear Peter, Paul and Mary at SMU that night with my wife-to-be (they canceled the performance). Lee Harvey and Marina lived in Irving, not too far from where I live now. (The City of Irving recently bought that house-for what reason is unclear-so, technically I own a bit of that history).

I think you guys are missing the obvious. JFK had contracted with LHO to hit Jackie to open up the back door to the WH. LHO had been out of the Marines so long that he was a bit rusty with the elevation correction necessary to compensate for the downhill trajectory. In correcting for the right hand track of the limo he over corrected and nailed his employer. End of story.

Wasn't the distance 75 yds or so? That is nothing for a rifle, piece of cake for a scoped, rested rifle.

If you play the Zapruder film backwards, you'll find out that, clearly, JFK ....















Shot himself!
