Face it: Oswald did it
The Economist ^ | 11/22/2013

FIFTY years ago this week President John Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, a Castro-supporting communist who had learned to shoot straight while in the US Marines. Half a century later, 61% of Americans believe in a conspiracy. Amazingly, this is the lowest level since the late 1960s.

Poster comments: There was no second gunman. There was no conspiracy.

There also was not a herd of pink elephants walking in the Reflecting Pool in DC, but I can't prove there wasn't. See the point?

Is there nothing we can do about her before someone else is hurt?

Careful what you ask for.

People like Don Imus say she needs to be put to sleep.....

"Having a personal library of over 300 books regarding the JFK assassination , I personally disagree. He may have had knowledge, but he didn’t pull the trigger, IMHO."

That's what happens when you read a bunch of conspiracy books.

The evidence is overwhelming. He did it.

With respect. I too have been in “The” window. Why not take the shot on Houston Street? Just asking?

"The Zapruder film clearly shows a shot from the front right."

No, the film doesn't show any shots.

"And there are hits on the curb and a bystander that disprove the 3 shots theory."

Actually not. One shot missed, that is known. It could have caused Tague's cut. But most likely it was fragment from the headshot. Either way, there's no problem there for having three shots.

No, that’s what happens when you evaluate all the evidence that is presented and come to a conclusion.

Makes me think of the Peter Gabriel song, “Family Snapshot”.

oh please...a human nervous system and head react differently than fruit and vegetables! And all of those people than ran to capture one of the assassins in the grassy knoll knew very well what they heard. Gullible! Very gullible people can be.

KC, Sick has officially taken over the reins as PDSer Emeritus since the infamous pissant met the zot.

Save your breath. He’s beyond our help.

"you have to be very gullible to not clearly see a front head shot from the video..."

It's the other way around. You see him pull backwards and ASSUME it must be from a shot. But it doesn't have to be, and isn't consistent with that. A shot to the head would move the head. Instead his whole upper body pulls back.

There is however a small sudden *forward* movement to the head at the instant of the head shot.

"No, that’s what happens when you evaluate all the evidence that is presented and come to a conclusion."

But those conspiracy books aren't the evidence. Instead they misrepresent the evidence.

Tell me the single most important evidence for a conspiracy you got from those books.

RE :”Careful what you ask for.”

???

You got me a bit alarmed with that long list of atrocities that you cited that she did. I never heard them before

at #118

Are you saying you were just playing a joke on me?

What difference does it make? It's not what happened. That's enough.

I was just up there recently, this month, and someone did point something out to me. The direction you'd face looking up Houston, at that time and place, you'd be looking into the sun.

Bingo. I never bought his head exploding and jerking backwards was an “exit wound”. The brain spatter and skull fragments would have blown onto the hood, not the trunk. And that’s what Jackie was doing on the trunk, retrieving skull or some such, because she was trying to keep him in one piece.

And the things that happened afterwards, the broken evidence chains, autopsy, rushing the body back to DC...

but the main thing it comes down to for me is that Zapruder film and the physics etc.

LOL, yeah, someone already grievously incapacitated by a shot through the neck is going to have some kind of directed nervous reaction to a head shot from a 6mm bullet going around /at least 2500 fps.

Sorry, at that point physics takes over.

Yes, because every bullet looks like this after hitting a body at +2000fps velocity

It amazes me to this day how it resembles bullets fired into a water tank for ballistics comparisons... Magic is right...

Come on.

Go ahead and work out the "physics" of a head shot. Be complete and show all work, please.

Don’t know what you’re talking about. The bullet was found to be significantly deformed.

You’re about 10 years behind.
