Lee Harvey Oswald...Lone Gunman or Patsy?

Answer 1

Both.

Answer 2

I was 10 years old when JFK was killed. Twenty years later I was visiting an old gf in Dallas and I went to the scene of the crime for the first time. Like many others I had read the Warren Commission Report, and the Manchester book. I knew the pro's and con's of most of the conspiracy theories and had visited the graves of JFK and RFK.
I honestly thought I had it all figured out and then I walked down the street and everything changed.
The first thought that hit me felt like a kick to the nads. It wasn't " How could Oswald possibly of hit JFK ? It was " How could he possibly miss ? Oswald had literally weeks to set up that shot How could the Secret Service ignore the quintessential sniper perch ? A sniper perch that just happened to have an ex-Marine[I know] marksman working in it who defected to Russia during the height of the Cold War somehow returns to the US with a Russian wife no less and spends his spare time passing out pro-communist literaure in the Dallas of the early 1960's
How is something that big ignored and the answer is that it's not . Oswald was telling the truth he was a patsy .Some very powerful people put him in place there and then had Jack Ruby silence him. My best guess is J. Edgar Hoover because JFK and more importantly Robert Kennedy represented the first real threat to the government -within - the government that Hoover had illegally established. When RFK became AG and reminded Hoover that as the head of the Justice Department RFK was his boss, Hoover felt threatened and responded accordingly.
To the guy below me:
I recently read something about due to JFK's back problems he wore a corset type of garment that prevented his body from going forward. How valid that is who knows ? Still you have a great point , the reality of physics is kind of hard to deny

Answer 3

I don't believe he was a lone gunman, if he was a gunman at all. He was definitely set up. Question: How would Oswald know where to get a job that would give him a shot at Kennedy weeks, even months, in advance? Who would know? The FBI? CIA?

Answer 4

it type of feels to count number on the position you stay that impacts your theory of Oswald's guilt. A information reporter from Dallas said that once he visited Ohio some days after JFKs death, he in no way met a unmarried man or woman who concept Lee became to blame, easily everyone from Cab Drivers to Policemen to inn workers concept Lee became a fall guy. even as in Texas, easily everyone became confident of Lee's guilt. there became even a real worry in Texas that Lee could be lynched. each and each of the evidence factors to Lee, and the 'Grassy Knoll Gunman' has a lot less credibility than the Loch Ness Monster.

Answer 5

Patsy

Answer 6

Unless someone can present a demonstration of a watermelon getting hit by a sniper's bullet and flying TOWARDS the weapon, I will have to reject the idea that Oswald was the only shooter, as Kennedy's head very clearly flew BACKWARDS on impact of the kill shot. My high school physics teacher didn't mention momentary variability in Newton's Laws of Motion......

Answer 7

I have always believed that Oswald acted on the will of J. Edgar Hoover who despised the Kennedys. There likely were others, also hired guns, who were to confuse the issue. And I believe that Ruby also acted on behalf of Hoover when he killed Oswald. Both Oswald and Ruby were unsavory characters who were willing to do anything for six seconds of fame.

Answer 8

I have, quite literally, read every book on the subject that I could find and I have to say that I believe that whoever that was claiming to be Lee harvey Oswald, was set up to take the fall. Even discounting the Fletcher Prouty books, there's a whole lot of evidence out that that there were three gunmen and Dealy plaza was a perfect kill box.

Rumor has it that the gunman on the grassy knoll, behind the fence was a french Corsican named Jean-Paul Suetra, the rifle in the 2nd floor west window of the Dal-Tex building was none other that E. Howard Hunt, and the third gunman, the one that made the kill shot to Kennedy's forehead, was located in, and fired from, the storm sewer catchmen basin on the overpass by W. A. Harrelson, permanent resident of the Texas Dept. of Corrections.

Answer 9

Lone gunmen ! THE KGB and Cuban intelligence actually kept files on Oswald and found him to be quite insane..
I think Oswald saw him self as a hero for the communist cause !

Answer 10

Well since he was a US Marine I don't think he was a patsy. Lone gunnman? Yes, they haven't caught anyone else, have they?

Answer 11
