Answer 1

What!?? NO WAY!

Physics and logic says that an object, if hit by another object, will move in the path of the object that hit it.

So you see? If Oswald shot JFK from the top and behind as everyone says he did, then why did JFK's body jerk backwards? WHY?

Also, why did people run TOWARDS the grassy knoll? Because they heard the shot from there too...if not the rifle going off, then the air stream is created by a bullet. So they turned and ran towards the grassy knoll in an attept to find the killer.

Also, if you look at area from Google Earth, there is a parking lot right behind the knoll! The shooter could have shot the president, then made his escape in a vehicle.

The CIA killed JFK. Because JFK was AGAINST the military-industrial complex and was taking steps to make the military smaller and more resourceful. So they killed him..and killed the scapegoat shooter Oswald also.

***UPDATE***
I agree with Xander.

A sniper rifle (any make and model) is not like a regular gun/pistol/assault rifle.

It takes a good enough time to fire a shot, then eject out the spent cartridge, blot a fresh cartridge in, zero the rifle, aim, and fire.

And he did this 3 times in the few seconds he had? Was he superman?

Answer 2

There's an old Frontline about Lee Harvey Oswald. His CIA and Russian connections were even more extensive than the public knew at the time of the Warren Commission. The 1960's were a time a great paranoia as well as justified fear about communism, Russia, and espionage, so it's very incredible that these connections were not thoroughly investigated at the time for all to see.

Good video, I'll look for the Frontline link, in case you haven't seen that show. It's very compelling.

Answer 3

He really was the lone gunman. But you'll only figure that out once you realize that so much of what conspiracy theorists rely on is false facts and false conclusions. And once one myth is proven wrong, they jump onto another myth. Simply put, he was driven to work by a friend who saw LHO carry in the so called curtains which held the gun. Despite the nonsense, it was proven to be his gun. LHO fled the scene of the crime. Several witnesses saw him shoot officer JD Tippit. LHO attempted to fire his gun at an officer when being arrested. And if you think that all of this was a set up, really look at the guy. Listen to LHO's responses to the questions. Watch how much he is enjoying all the attention. Sure he said he was a patsy but really he looks like a kid who didn't want to get caught but at the same time really wants everyone to admire this great crime he committed. Even his own brother after talking to LHO in jail was completely convinced that LHO shot the president and no one else was involved.

Answer 4

The President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, known unofficially as The Warren Commission, was established on November 29, 1963, by Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing of Kennedy. The Commission's findings have since proven extremely controversial and have frequently been challenged

Answer 5

Honestly, everyone who was involved (in one way or another) is either dead or close to dying. We are never going to know what happened.

I personally think he was not alone because he was not very experienced with the type of rifle that he had.

Oswald had a small window of time to fire at Kennedy. It takes a lot of time to fire one shot, eject the shell, and ready the gun for the next shot, let alone doing this three times.

Considering the time it takes to fire the three shots tells me that he couldn't have hit JFK because JFK wasn't in Oswald's sights long enough for the three shots.

Oswald also had a tree limb in his way that would have obstructed his view.

Answer 6

Anyone who has studied the situation regarding JFK"s death knows that the matter was conspiracy and that there were actually four bullets, two of which missed the president and were wildly off target. The shot that killed the president was from the grassy knoll hitting the president from the front/side of his head. Who planned this execution no knows for certain but there are a number of people who are suspect. Watch the movie J.F.K. for it tells the entire story in great detail.

Answer 7

this question has been investigated, over and over again and been answered over and over again for the last 40+ yrs in american history but its amazing that some people who ask this thing, why can't we just accept the answer the commision has presented and move on, if they make a mistake we still cannot correct the error and consequence it did to our lives and country, so let it rest and lets move on.. we learn from history and let the bad things be avoided and go on with the present.

Answer 8

A photo has surfaced on the net of him standing in a garage doorway at street level, watching the motorcade. Don't ask me for a source, I saw it a few months ago.

Answer 9

Nice to see you have moved on to a new conspiracy, your 9/11 stuff was getting old. Now if you could just tell us how they get the caramilk in the caramilk bars.

Answer 10

Since I automatically believe in whatever Oliver Stone puts into a film, I can easily say that it must have been J. Edgar Hoover shooting from the grassy knoll (and probably Roy Cohn was shooting from somewhere in the vicinity, too), since Stone has clearly proven that gay Republicans were the people who killed Kennedy.
