The other shooter...

I've been shooting rifles for more than fifty years. I've given expert testimony at felony trials on forensic firearms ballistics. And I am a very serious researcher who did a study simultaneously with several major production companies in 1972. I have seen the evidence in the National Archives. Only one shooter scored a hit, and he did so with a 6.5x52mm. Carcano fired from about thirty-seven degrees above and to JFK's right. That much is ironclad. Incidentally, most any average rifleman, at the range of about 78 yards, could've done as well or better with a Carcano. We proved that repeatedly, and even at higher speeds, with relative novices, many test shooters did better than Oswald. It's been measured, tested, and replicated. CBS did a great walk through, under Walter Cronkite's tutelage. While the Warren Report is full of little glitches, the main conclusions about the shooting itself are ironclad, and subsequent analysis of the jacket fragments since, even at the subatomic level, has confirmed those original conclusions. Only one man shot at JFK, and we know who he was. He was a publicity-seeking, lone wolf crackpot who wanted to be remembered. In that singular goal, Lee Harvey Oswald, for the one and only time in his miserable life, succeeded. The Oliver Stone movie is basically a joke. Read Posner's book. Moreover, the "grassy knoll" is not only at the wrong angle and the wrong place, it isn't a very clean shot with a crowd lining the Plaza. By the way, what is this doing in the "politics" section?

I was, with my father and an uncle at the time Kennedy was shot. If there had been four Cuban gunmen there, they would have been standing on top of me. I can guarantee you that they were no there, and do not shot Kennedy.
You are welcome to debate whether Oswald acted alone, or was the only person shooting. I was looking at the book depository building, so can not swear that is where the bullet came from.
But I can say with 100% certainty that there were no Cuban gunmen shooting from the grassy knoll...

There were probably quite a few people there but as for the real assassin who knows who it was?, Oswald was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and took the rap for either the right wing lunatics who really killed Kennedy but the fact is like jack the ripper no one is going to find out who really killed Kennedy as those responsible are still in power now and will remain so unless drastic action is taken to remove them.

Quite a few elfs and fairies, I was told a fairy ring is there, but as a mere mortal I wont see it.
Other than that I do not know a grassy knoll.

I believe it was a Mafia guy who had helped Oswald train in Mexico City. They planned it together, but he waiting until Oswald shot first, knowing that they'd go after him and in the confusion, he could escape unseen.
