do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone?

Question

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Kennedy Assassiantion.

Answer 1

Peter Jennings did a ABC news special on the 40th anniversary of his death. Seems many people missed it & instead saw the ill-conceived JFK which had many 'liberties' with the facts.

Summary:
1. There was one shooter (Oswald).
2. There were 3 shots.
3. First shot hit Kennedy in the back, exited his throat and hit Connelly (his seat was lower and not in line with Kennedy's. It was a jump seat.)
4. JFK slumped because he was wearing a back brace. At times he was taking 10+ medications a day.
5. Second shot missed.
5. Third shot hit JFK in the head.

That's it. No conspiracy. One shooter, 3 shots, 1 miss.

Remember the old axiom: the simplier the solution the more likely?

Can anyone still really believe that in 44 years, someone has been so good to keep a conspiracy secret? Especially since the Warren Commission report has been out and gone through by conspiracy buffs looking for holes. Guess what? They found nothing.

Once again it was all Oswald, no conspiracy

Answer 2

The former FBI/Secret Service agent's who has been in the news as of late has the final and correct say on JFK's murder: "One gun, three shots". I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. The Warren Commission's report a couple of years after the president's death was the earliest and best investigation. Subsequent investigations have found the same thing. Many, many other investigations and naysayers ask tonnes of questions. And that is the weakness of the conspiracy theories. One only needs to ask questions, not provide answers. If there was a conspiracy it would have had to penentrate every level of American law enforcement and the judiciary. It would have to include strippers, small time hoods and big time gangsters and cocktail servers. It suggests foreign leaders and spies were all part of an elaborate plot. I don't buy it. The public loves conspiracy theories. We love to keep a sexy story alive and provide fodder so that speculation can take over reason and the need to close down investigations. I don't agree that it doesn't matter anymore. It matters a lot. Kennedy's death is one of those few momentous incidents that really changed the path of twentieth century history. So many things happened because of JFK's death and so many things didn't happen. His death is on par with other important events such as the D-Day landing, the bombing of Hiroshima, the Archduke Ferdinand's assassination in Sarejevo and the release after 25 years in prison of Nelson Mandela. One gun, three shots. LHO was hateful, whacked out and a really good shot.

Answer 3

Based on the irrefutable evidence, both at the time and discovered over the years since, there is absolutely no doubt that Oswald acted alone. Two great sources which help to prove this are the book CASE CLOSED by Gary Posner, and the A&E special hosted by Peter Jennings, THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION - BEYOND CONSPIRACY. I was a huge conspiracy advocate for a long time, but the more I researched and the more I learned, I came to understand that what seemed like the simplest answer, in this case really was. The number of reasons and the evidence is overwhelming. Check out these two sources, and you'll agree.

Answer 4

People that believe Oswald acted alone tend to annoy me. There was not only three shots, but probably 8. If you were to actually go to the site where President Kenedy was assassinated, there are bullet marks on the side walk. There is NO WAY Oswald could have made 8 shots with that gun in so many seconds.

Why can't the government explain why everyone ran to the Grassy Knoll? That's something that's hardly brought up, if you were to ask some witnesses that were watching the President, many ran that way.

There was a lady (can't remember her name) that interviewed Jack Ruby and after, she said she had enough information that would put the case to rest but she wouldn't say anything until she went to New Orleans, soon after, they found her dead from an overdose. Something similar happened to this man, but I don't remember what he knew. & why will we not be able to know anything until the next maybe 50 years?

Something is strange about everything but all I have to say is that Oswald (if he did it) was not alone.

Answer 5

I don't believe Oswald acted alone but I also don't believe that we will ever really know the truth.

Answer 6

You know I lived thru all that, and at this point in my life, I just don't care. A father, husband, son and brother and a good president was murdered by a mad man. or men, it makes no difference to me how many people were involved. the fact is, whoever it was should never have denied the American people a President they elected. It is an obscene act, no matter who is assassinated.

can we let him rest in peace.

Answer 7

No, I am not even sure he acted at all.

Thanks for the reminder, as if anyone could forget.

Answer 8

he was just the fall guy, bad place bad timing, not to say that he didn't do it, but he wasn't alone in the action that took place that day.

Answer 9

I agree with Melstxi - there was a conspiracy.

Answer 10

no
