Did Oswald assassinate President Kennedy?

i don't know what to believe, when i look over the killing, one of the bullets appears to be travelling from a completely different direction as opposed to the other two.
here's hoping NARA scratch our itch and give us some decent info next year for the anniversary. inevitably it will be just a complete middle finger, but fingers crossed no matter what.
(tragically) all i have is an opinion; which remains to be an onslaught of perplexed theories.

I honestly don't believe we will ever know the whole truth of the matter. The cover-up has been that good.

There are so many unanswered questions and so many inconsistencies in the official assassination story as endorsed by the Warren Commission that I, for one, can never believe that Oswald acted alone and on his own, or that he was even the main shooter. It simply does not hang together.

Personally, I think Oswald acted alone.

I have stood in Dealy Square in Dallas, looked up at the sixth floor windows of the School Book Depository and down at the parade route and remember thinking, "That would have to be one hell of a lucky shot. And with a bolt-action rifle? There's no way he could get off three accurate shots in the amount of time that the Zapruder film recorded."

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, 2Packs, but I just can't buy it.

Personally, I think it is more likely that Oswald acted alone that is is likely that the following book is worth reading.

Bill O'Reilly knows how to write? Who knew?

I think Bill O'Reilly knows how to put his name on a book written by (&) Martin Dugard.

Of course the assassination of JFK could have been done by:


Bill O'Reilly
&
Lee Harvey Oswald

Yep, just my opinion, I could very well be wrong....it would not surprise me in the least.....and believe me Merry, by no means do I want to debate the whole Kennedy thing with anyone.....been there done that to death. It's kinda funny though, a few nights ago, I read nearly your exact statement, but the reverse in an online post I ran across, written by a former marine....about the ease of the shot{s} I'll see if I can track it down.

All {meaning grand, and great grand} of my parents believed that there was a massive cover up, they are/were hard core Kennedy fans....with me being the one sole nasty evil Republican in the entire family. I do actually like Kennedy overall, much akin to my liking of Clinton....Clinton basically handed the Rep party at great deal of the things that "we" wanted. I would be lying if I didn't admit that, there really isn't any president that I hate....well one, U.S. Grant, but that's a different ball of wax.....chalk it all up to my schoolboy ideas of the POTUS, being someone to look up to.

By whoevers hand, and for whatever reason, JFK's death was probably the biggest thing to happen in the latter half of the 20th century, save perhaps the falling of the Berlin wall {which was a massive decades long group effort, even I will admit that Mr Reagan had some help with that task {that's a joke of course}....at least, I doubt any other single event had such an impact on that generation....and those thereafter. It's hard for me not to think of Bobby and Dr King when thinking of Jack's untimely death.....it's a shitty feeling....I'll say that I'm glad I wasn't alive then to see it all happen.

For some, Kennedy's death equates to the Vietnam war, I don't buy into that....who knows where or how deep into the war he would have taken us, could have been even worse ya know....was the war totally futile?....I tend to think yes, since we didn't accomplish....anything.....but the fact that he drew the line in the sand against communism there....has to stand for something.

I certainly agree with you re: the Vietnam disaster. There is no reason whatever to think that JFK would have been instrumental in ending or curtailing our involvement in 'Nam. People have forgotten that it was during the Kennedy admin. that the war began to escalate and that, in a real sense, LBJ was just carrying on the policy that Jack had set into motion. It took a Republican, Tricky Dick Nixon, to end the mess and get our men and women out of there. And I say that, being certainly no Republican as everyone here knows.

I'll tell you another thing -- if it wasn't Oswald acting alone (as I believe), I have no idea what the ultimate motive in offing JFK was. Well, he had enough enemies. Some in pretty high places.

To think that Castro, or Sam Giancana, or even LBJ were directly responsible for Jack's death, can all be so easily romanticized....or even Woody Harrelsons father....oh so you're a hollywood star I think I heard of you....yeah but my dad was the shooter on the grassy knoll....wow she says....as her undergarments fall off.....

It's more common today with all the random shootings, {actually, my police chief worked the crime scene at the Luby's shooting when he was a younger man} Texas has it's own little legacy for this type of thing....JFK, Charles Whitman, Luby's, Fort Hood massacre, etc...anyway, the lone nuts out there are prevalent nowadays....the midnight Batman shootings a few months ago....

I just think that an unstable young man, with an axe to grind, backed with some military training....decided to kill our president. It may be to simple an explanation for most people to swallow...I mean how could, as Elton John said about Lennon's assassination, in Empty Garden...."It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain"....how could one little sick twerp foul up the entire country...it's just that easy to do.

You left out the Cuban refugees. Kennedy called off air support for the bay of pigs, and they retaliated. Of course, we probably forgot lots more possibilities.

That's approximately my take on it too. I do see some room for something else more complicated, and I'm usually anti-conspiracy-theory. But your description is what seems most likely to me.

Yeah them too Rog, and the three tramps, the guy with the umbrella, the dude hiding in the storm drain....crazy acoustics....and who could forget Stone's words spoken by Costner...."back and to the left, back and to the left"....David Ferrie, Clay Shaw/Bertrand...Jack Ruby's Raul, no.....wait, Raul belonged to James Earl Ray.....Ruby's secret guy was named Davis.

I did enjoy one of the conspiracy books, "Mortal Error" for the most part the book is very factual/mathematical in the authors dealings with the ballistics of the Kennedy/Connally shooting....the so called magic bullet. But then goes on to get a bit creative...but yet again plausible....idea that one of the secret service men riding behind Kennedy accidentally popped off a round from his {I think an AR 15 } rifle, into the back of Kennedy's head.

The question itself will never ever be answered, as long as human history or indeed the universe exists.. At least not in provable terms, if Oswald was birthed a human being.. Or the real culprit was.

You can state that before God and he cannot ever punish under guise of 'correctness'.

Quite the trick, but that's buy the buy to most.
See how third person makes a difference?
'I'.

You can however prove it, if aliens had a part in it... remarkable.
No I will not delete pandorum minimus.

Personally, I think Oswald acted alone. >>

They did find Oswald's rifle fired three times, hid in his work station, but that doesn't mean he did it, only that he could have.

He didn't. The first shot missed entirely. The second shot hit Kennedy in the neck. The third hit him in the head. If Oswald was aiming for Kennedy's head, then he only got off one accurate shot.

Everybody did it.
