Re: I can see Oswald - IF-IF-IF he was ONE of the gunman - getting off one good shot. I’ll never believe he was the ONLY gunman.

That ONE “good shot” was probably the one that hit the concrete - sending debris into the cheek of the bystander under the overpass.

tell me: is the correct word “Sighted” or “Sited” in regard to the scope?

Sight refers to vision. Site refers to location.

“...“Sighted” or “Sited”..”

Sighted.

Without the “gh” the word “sited” refers to something “situated” or “located”. Like a “missile site” (base, platform, location).

“Sighted” refers to something viewed. “He sighted (viewed, spied, saw) the storm clouds in the distance...”

At least that’s always been my understanding of the difference.
