Who Killed Kennedy

[BigBlueRick]

After an in-depth discussion in U.S. history class at WKU, it’s obvious that it wasn’t just Lee Harvey Oswald that shot Kennedy. I believe there were 2-3 snipers involved. It’s not even a conspiracy theory at this point, IMO.

Why wouldn’t Oswald have just took the shot as he was coming up Elm St, when the shot would’ve been 20-30 yards with Kennedy facing him?

Why did Jack Ruby, a strip club owner, shoot Oswald while he was in custody? He didn’t seem the be the patriotic type.

I believe the mob is responsible based on the fact that they practically won him the election with WV and NV, and JFK screwed them over in Cuba after he took office.

Oswald alone.

There were most definitely two spitters. Back and to the left. Back...and to the left.

After all, it was you and me.

 

[BigBlueRick]

Oswald alone.

To me, the Zappruder film disproves that. Oswald was behind the car when Kennedy was shot. His body jerked “back and to the left”. According to physics, the shot should’ve came from the front and to the right.

The science for this is settled.

I will say, if there was a second shooter, I would go with Hillary.

Wrong.

I have pics of the entry and exit wound.....but hey you were told by Hollywood.

I just watched the film, man. It says it all.

I hadn’t heard. RIP, sweet princess.

Well then, why didn't you say so.

We need Brushy Bill to weigh in on this. Conspiracies are right in his wheelhouse.

 

[Mojocat]

For a view from the other side, read Case Closed by Gerald Posner. Fairly convincing argument that LHO in fact acted alone...

Not really, Rick saw the film.

I'm just one guy with a bachelors in history/poly sci but I have read and studied a lot of things pertaining to this very subject. I think Oswald did it alone and the biggest evidence to me is how unpredictable Oswald was. Nobody would've worked through that guy. He was clearly mentally ill. But I also respect al theories pertaining to the assassination as well.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

I'll go with a guy with a gun. Seems like a safe bet

Anyone who attempts murder has some problems, but some determined enough to assassinate the president would be willing to work with him and eventually frame him as the lone assassin. I think he was all there, but was just enamored with Russian propaganda.

After an assassin gets caught, they usually take pride in it and boast. Not Oswald. You can see in his eyes in the media footage that he knows he was framed, and he was about to burst when he got shot by Ruby.

Oswald used a rifle scope that could see Chicago across Lake Michigan.

 

[krazykats]

Why couldn't it have been the FBI/CIA who hired the mob, who then employed Oswald for the job?

That would then explain why Ruby who was a mafia wannabe killed him to make sure he never talked because they didn't trust him enough.

Contrary to Oliver Stones movie or other conspiracy hacks, Oswald had been a Marine sharpshooter. Which means he hit something like 48-50 targets from 200 yards. If he maintained that skill level, the Kennedy shots were well within his ability.

The rifle he used was a POS. He wasn’t an outstanding marksman, so 3 accurate shots within 6 seconds is highly unlikely.. even for the most skilled snipers.

Back to the film. If he delivered the headshot from behind, why did Kennedy’s head jerk backward and to the left?

 

[ace on the river]

OJ did it

 

[Hankshaker]

I hadn’t heard. RIP, sweet princess.

Can't decide if I would hit that or not, after all these years.

To paraphrase my man Robert Kelly, my mind is telling me no but my body, my body is telling me yesish.

It's all about mass and physiological reflex. Bullet mass is low and sharply penetrative. Neurological reflex of large neck musculature easily could have moved the head towards trauma.

The type of rifle he used did have a bad reputation. But how do we know this particular one wasn't good. He was a pretty damn good marksman. I just detailed that. He only needed one head shot of the six to kill the president. As to the head movement, have you been shot in the head with a rifle? How does anybody know which way the head would move?

If a UK history class couldn’t solve the mystery, I’m just glad it was one at WKU — at least we can keep the credit in-state.

The bigger question is how could Oswald miss?

Killer head shot came in at an estimated 265 feet (81 meters) max. Additionally, fibers from Oswald's shirt were found on the weapon.

JFK is an awesome movie and after watching you're convinced of the conspiracy theories. Problem is it's far from factual for the most part.

Actual testing supports the lone shooter theory.

A conspiracy theory doesn't stand up to scrutiny?

Shocking.

There is a documentary on Netflix - drawing a blank on the name and will need to research, that's pretty convincing that the fatal bullet that killed Kennedy could not have come from Oswald.

Not that there was a conspiracy - other than the cover-up - but the fatal shot was a mistake that appeared to be caused by a Secret Service officer in the following car - who was carrying a weapon that fires a round that has the distinguishing results of the fatal Kennedy shot.

Find the Babushka Lady...she'll tell you

Also, Frank Sheeran claims to know. But that dude was taking credit for just about everything toward the end.

Drawing a Blank on the Name and will Need to Research seems like an awful name for a documentary on the Kennedy assassination.

Guys name who delivered fatal headshot was Jack Allen Lawrence
