I always thought it was just the perfect storm, all the wrong moves happening at once that led to the assassination. Oswald tried to kill General Edwin Walker for being anti-commie, Oswald admitted it to his wife. He also hated Kennedy for what he did to Castro and here comes Kennedy in an open convertible right next to where Oswald works which in Oswalds mind was like a lottery win, the guy definitely had a motive. But, I find it very strange that he not only would be riding in an open convertible, but that they would announce it ahead of time which is pretty much inviting any nut to take target practice. And gee whiz, where does the car pass by? Where Oswald works which conveniently has a 6 story window in an empty room that allows him to hide behind books. The guy definitely shot him, I have no doubt about that. Oswald wasn’t going to let that opportunity pass, bringing the “curtain rods” to work. But I do wonder sometimes if they got him after the attempt on Walker and made a deal with him, it’s probably like I said the perfect storm, all those bad things just coming together, but it does seem a little far fetched. Was it announced the day before WITH the exact route and time advertised? Did they do before with Kennedy? Was it common practice to do this even though 3 Presidents before him were assassinated?
Don’t know about the route, but I read the Kennedy insisted on the top being removed.
I have always wonder about the coincidence of the car passing right by where Oswald worked.
