Two massive books by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann, most recently Legacy of Secrecy have me going back to the Mob hit theory although I just don’t buy their unnecessary post-assassination cover-up theory which involves a supposed coup against Castro. Like that was more shameful than the murder of a president. But they’ve done a service by digging up the deepest, darkest, most disturbing archival evidence to support their Mob hit theory.
Anyway, I’m interested: what do people think, those of you who still think about it? Some may say, who cares we’ll never know, it’s old news, but I’m not satisfied with that. Historical truth means a lot to me. At one point LBJ said nuclear war was at stake. I want to know if there was someone behind Oswald and why. It’s more important than how Yale could allow Harvard to score two touchdowns (and two two-point conversions) in 42 seconds–though I still can’t reconcile myself to that either...

Tree branch and a coke bottle.
8.3 seconds according to the Zapruder film. The first shot starts the clock. There’s guys on YouTube who easily do it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan?
Colonel mustard in the library with a candle stick?
Through a windshield that only had a crack caused by the inside?
The front were the police officers where plus the railroad workers?
That “front”?
The person who beat Oswald was the arresting officer when Oswald tried to kill him.
The only thing that saved the officer was the hammer came down on the officer’s web of his hand. Good thing there weren’t two officers dead that day.
8.3 seconds would allow enough time for 3 shots. And I do give more credence to the Zapruder film than an open mike recording. They obviously don't correspond, but I just wonder what noise was captured in the recording, because it sounded like 3 evenly timed gunshots within about 2 seconds.
He says he Jack Ruby was very well connected and trusted by the mob, and strongly implies JFK was killed at the behest of Jimmy Hoffa who was Sheeran's very good friend until Sheeran had to kill him.
The 8.3 seconds is determined by the reaction of the crowd including ten year old Rosemary Willis who is in the film. She stopped running along the motorcade and looks upward to her right. She told her dad at the time, she watched the man shoot the rifle out of the window.
The second shot is determined by the bullet leaving Governor Connelly’s chest as it flips out his coat lapel.
The third shot is the head shot.
8.3 seconds to reload and then fire two more shots.
The governor and his wife heard three shots.
The guys on the fifth floor heard three shots and three empty cartridge cases being ejected. Oswald had chambered a fourth round.
The guy in the railroad tower heard three shots and notice there was no one on his side of the picket fence.
A frontal shot is impossible due to two officers on the railroad bridge along with more than half a dozen RR workers.
Zapruder filmed the corner of the fence. There’s no one there.
why would Oswald deny the shooting?John Wilkes Booth, Squeaky Fromme, Hinckley etc and so on. No one expects to shoot a president and get away with it.Oswald states I shot noone. What, he thought they wouldn’t find his rifle?
“No one expects to shoot a president and get away with it.”
Except, of course, members of the conspiracy.
Look, if everyone who ever denied committing a crime were innocent, our prison system has a lot of explaining to do.
There is no real recording where you could hear that. There is an open mic recording, but there are no audible shots on it at all. If you "heard" shots, then you were either listening to some other recording unrelated to JFK, or they were shots someone dubbed in.
Oswald never successfully renounced his citizenship. He did not complete he process, probably intentionally.
That was a Congressional House Committee, whose sole piece of forensic evidence on which they based that conclusion was later debunked.
