What evidence is there that someone besides Oswald fired at President Kennedy?

Question

I often hear people claiming that someone besides Oswald or someone in addition to Oswald was firing at president Kennedy but they don't very often have any hard facts. IS there any hard facts to support this belief or is it just something people want to believe? Don't answer if you don't have evidence to discuss--I've heard THAT viewpoint for years.

Answer 1

This is none.

1. Concerning the time Oswald had to fire three shots, most people who claim Oswald didn't have enough time don't even know how much time is involved. I am 100% positive that the above poster doesn't even know how much time he is referring to. No one ever does unless they are a serious Kennedy assassinatino scholar. Oswald 8 and 1/2 seconds to fire three shots. Of which he only had two hits. This feat has been duplicated time and time and time and time again ins recreations. So that argument is wrong. Oswadl had PLENTY of time.

2. Concerning the wounds to Kennedy and Connally. They ONLY can be traced back to above and to the left. The autopsy photographs have been reviewed numerous times by competant medical examiners and with the sole exception of Cyril Wecht (who has made his living being a conspiracy darling) ALL of the medical experts agree that Kennedy was shot from above and to the rear. There is NO evidence of ANY shots striking him from the front. There is no exit wound to the rear of Kennedy's head and his clothing fibers were all pushed INWARD on his back and OUTWARD on the front of his tie. End of issue.

3. The photograph evidence does not give any support to claims of second gunmen either. With all of the photographs and films taken that day NOT ONE gunman is seen in ANY of them. Even though the stockade fence and the grassy knoll appear in several photographs no gunman is seen anywhere. And in addition, there was no evidence left at any other places that would point to a second gunman.

The evidence against Oswald is overwhelming and incontrovertible. This is not the forum to go into Oswald's incriminating evidence but if you have the interest ask another question about THAT topic and I will glad to run down the evidence. For unbiased scholars who can understand evidence there is no doubt who killed Kennedy. Oswald and only Oswald.


End of issue.

Answer 2

I think it is the way the bullets entered the bodies of both Kennedy and they governor of Texas, whose name I can't remember at the moment. The wounds don't go along with the location of where Oswald from. It indicates that shots were fired from the "grassy knoll." I'm not sure if there is anything else that goes along with the theory that Oswald wasn't the only one.

Answer 3

There is no evidence. There is only conjecture and interpretation.

As to JFK's motions, the human body does not alway react to bullet impacts in the way we expect. Especially a shot to the head. Not to mention that after the first hit, maybe his neck muscles started twitching, moving his head independently.

For the "magic bullet". That theor is based on the assumption that the guy in the front seat was both facing straight forward, and at the same level as the president. But the footage clearly shows that his seat is quite a bit lower and he has turned in his seat to speak to the President.

Conjecture and interpretation.

Answer 4

You can see a man shaped figure in a nearby tree where some witnesses thought they saw a flash like when a gun's fired. Also Oswald was a communist nuthead. Only he and other communists would conspire against the president

Answer 5

well one thing that people. contend is that oswald could not have goten off as many accurate shots as he did with his rifle in the time given. also if you watch the zapruder film you can see JFKs reactions to being shot are counter intuitive to the position of the shooter, he falls forward then is thrown backwards with both shots coming form teh rear. teh " magic bullet" that zig zagged thru him and senator connealy in teh front seat. the photographs and the denial of insepectin of JFKs body after the shooting. thats all i cna think of right now, there are many other contentions and tehre are many documentaries and theories out there
