In your opinion based on various facts, was JFK shot by LHO, or someone else? And by how many if more than one

Question

And do you think John and Robert were both killed by affiliates or associates? Just curious about that...

Answer 1

My opinion is that LHO was a scapegoat that took the fall for someone else. I think it was all about the civil rights movement. Think about how many pro-civil rights leaders were assassinated in the 60s black and white. Both the assassinated Kennedy brothers were well known to be pro-civil rights.

Prejudices invoke the most powerful emotion = anger. Angry ppl that are controlled by their prejudices are capable of anything.. ie, mobs in the south killing blacks and trying to ban them from the schools. I mean if you think about it, it's really insane but that is what prejudices will do to a person when that anger is motivated.

PS Just realized I went off on a tangent. lol

Answer 2

LHO shot him. He was by himself, there was no one on the grassy Noll. The History Channel did a huge documentary trying to recreate the assassination. The only way they could recreate the wounds was from a single shooter at the level of the book depository.

The infamous grassy noll photo was taken from a film. The process of it panning to the grassy noll made it go across many areas where people were back in the shadows and you could make them all out. Since the laws of photogenics did not change there that photo is just an inhanced version of a bush, the bush is still there.

They went so far as to hire an Austrailian company that specializes in making in making realistic bodies to recreate the shots, they reshot the magic bullet. I guess not many people know that bullets commonly change direction after hitting a body.

They recreated everything, even had someone pull out a gun at the grassy noll and he was spotted and had the police called. They tried to recreate the famous picture and couldn't.

That documentary did more to convince me Oswald was the lone shooter. Now as to why he did it, that is up to conjecture. Truth is if it wasn't for Ruby the conspiracies might not have ever taken off. What convinces me of Oswald is a police officer singled him out first thing but the owner vouched for him getting him released. The fact he killed the police officer later has never been disputed to my knowledge.

RFK was on a different level. Sirhan Sirhan killed him to bring attention to the middle east. Strange how far back that conflict goes.


Sorry about misspellings, spell check went down.

Answer 3

Through the years , I've heard several opinions about the assassination . Some say that it was LHO and some say it was the Mafia and some say it was the CIA . Also there has been talk about MM being killed , because she know to much . There was some connection with Fidel Castro . I don't think we'll ever know the whole truth of it . It could be a little of all of them together , or none but what we saw that day .

Answer 4

Just for gtoacp....

I've seen the evidence on both sides of the fence, and one thing that to me screams "conspiracy" more than any other: The predisposition of the side that says Oswald acted alone to only consider evidence that supports their conclusions, and trying to obfuscate ANYTHING that could raise doubts. At least assasination researchers are willing to look at all the evidence; they may be approaching it from their own presuppositions, but at least they don't automatically toss something out just because it doesn't fit the direction they already have decided to go.

Whenever you get all your information from one perspective, your perspective will always be skewed.

I don't know what Oswald's involvement was in the overall plot, if any, but I think it's apparant that not only did he not "act alone", but that he likely did not fire a single gun on that day, either at Kennedy or at Tippet.

However, I finally quit researching it when I realized that it doesn't matter who was behind it, it will never get out in the open. In the grand scheme of things, I can't do anything about it, and anyone who ever got close to the truth wound up dead anyway. So best to stay fat, dumb and happy like the conspirators want us all to. It was most fascinating to me more as the ultimate "true crime" mystery, anyway, and I have since decided my time is better used elsewhere.

Answer 5

their was no conspiracy. Oswald did it. he was a crack shot marksmen in the Military, with the rifle. the man was a kook and went to Russia for asylum. now if their was a connection it was with Russia and cuba . because he lived their for a while and we know how mad Nikita Khrushchev was with JFK about the Cuban missile crisis. Oswald even brought back a Russian wife Marina, then they made claims that the rifle could not be fired that fast ,only to be proved wrong by other marksmen, sorry he did it and did it alone, and possibly with some Russian and Cuban sway. sirhan sirhan killed RFK. over the middle east RFK. was PRO Israel. some things stay the same sadly .

Answer 6

If you look at all the facts, it is quite obvious that JFK was killed by a conspiracy; it is unclear whether Oswald actually took part in the shooting, but he was definitely involved in the act, although we will likely never know just how much he knew or didn't know.

There were probably three teams of shooters, but if you watch Discovery Channel long enough, they will tell you Oswald acted alone; there is one massive campaign being waged to erase information on the conspiracy, but hey, we're just loons, right?

Answer 7

I don't have any "facts" other than the movie by Oliver Stone and that movie was overwhelmingly fictitious. It sure as heck did not convince me that Oswald was a patsy or even that there had been a conspiracy. I'm waiting to see if Vince Bugliosi has yet published his book(s) about the assassination. Has anyone heard if Bugliosi has published his book(s) yet?

Answer 8

If you will look at the data carefully, you will see that LHO is the shooter. There is no other credible conclusion. Perhaps you have not seen the documentary programs that debunk the conspiracy theorists.

Answer 9

He probably shot him, but there were others. And probably a lot of them. I've been there and there are so many places a shooter could have been.

Answer 10

i do think L.H. Oswald was involved...as to what capacity, I'm not sure. i think there had to of been at least 4 others involved. two working the plaza, and two others behind the fence.
