Conspiracy or single shooter?
Conspiracy or single shooter?
Easy shot for any deer hunter used to a tree stand. (I checked it out when I was there.) Doesn't mean it wasn't a conspiracy, but it was easy to do by yourself.
single
Watching the Discovery Channel now, are we?

Nope. It is Nov.22, and I remember where I was and doing like it was yesterday.
Doh! Discovery is running multiple programs about single versus conspiracy now, and on and off all day,
I was a bit young, but do remember the B&W images, I think due to the intensity of my parents watching. What I remember more is going shopping with my Mom during the last day of the Cuban Missle Crisis. Nobody was on the streets or in the stores. It was creepy.
One shooter - was it a conspiracy - who knows?
Well considering I was in Dallas at the time and had a friend who worked at the school book depository I've got to go with the conspiracy theory. The guy on the grassy knoll was seen by a lot of people and almost bumped into by my friend's boss. I knew about him before the news ever started reporting it.
The truth went down with this guy:
Conspiracy.
I can has tinfoil hat??? 
I remember watching a pro-conspiracy show, and a guy who had quite obviously never used a bolt action rifle showed how very hard it would be to get the three shots off in the time allowed. First shot not chambered, lower rifle to grab the bolt, then have to re-sight. It reminded me of the infomercial people who are demonstrating how hard it is to perform the action the new item for sale does easily.
Chicago mob carries Illinois giving JFK presidential victory. The newly installed administration decides to bust those who got them into power. Both Kennedy boys die.
don't berkeley with the mob
Single Shooter. Of course, that doesn't mean people will ever let it die.
Look at the (disturbing) film of the shot hitting his head. Head snaps back and pieces of the skull blow out the back. Wife jumps up and back to try try to grab the bits of skull off the trunk. Looks like that shot came from the front to me. I've discussed this with people who used to shoot other people in the head professionally (for YOU, so YOU can sleep at night) and the consensus was that shot came from the front. Sure, it was an easy shot from the book depository (what? 60 yards with a bolt action rifle and a scope? Anyone with some basic practice could do that), but that doesn't mean that's where the only shot came from.
The line of people with a grudge against JFK was very long. Could have been that time travelers came back from the future to do it so we would not have a nuclear armagedon.
I think it was one actual shooter - but he may have had a conspiracy funding him or assisting him.
Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

Odd. Opposite of the consensus of those I talked with. And opposite of some rather grisly experiments that have been done.
No physical evidence indicates a second shooter. Single shooter fits.
Occam's razor.
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

This is my new favorite conspiracy theory.
Frankly, if I had a time machine, that's one of the first places I'd go. Not to save JFK, necessarily, but just to find out so I could end the controversy.

Ending that controversy would only spark another one - and then you'd have a target on your back, too.
You really want to be a Rushdie-like victim of a conspiracy jihad?
Why do we care so much about this one particular case? There have been a lot of plots, attempts and a few successes... considering the actual number of US presidents. Where is the William McKinley History Channel special? Leon Czolgosz... loner, anarchist, almost killed by troops/police beating after in custody by ... survived, healed, tried and executed in a month. Lots of room for drama and innuendo there!
Successful Assassinations:
Attempted plots/assassinations:
