Who shot John F. Kennedy?

[rj144]

I think it was the Dead Kennedys because they wanted their band's name to make sense.

They were busy then...

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

I believe Oswald was at least in on it.

Just bc a few people couldn't recreate it doesn't mean it couldn't have happened. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I will agree it doesn't seem probably. It's possible....not probable.

Why did Venture come up off his sight/scope when working the bolt? Should have kept his shooting position and target in line and worked the bolt more naturally without standing up between each shot. His gun looked extra shitty and not lubed at all.

I guessing shooting your shot derived from this, eh?

Congratulations to @jgarner and @Belaya Smert on helping to solve the mystery of who killed Tupac Shakur. Nothing has of yet been confirmed by the Las Vegas police. Neither Orlando Anderson, nor Duane 'K' Davis have been charged with the murder. The investigation is still open.

Moving on to President John F. Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald sure as shit was not the shooter. Not from the 6th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository building with a 6.5 mm Carcano rifle at a distance of 265 feet.
. Kennedy was shot from the front.
. The Carcano rifle is a piece of shit.
. Distance: 265 feet at a moving target with a 'cheap' bolt action rifle. Hard to replicate the shot.
. Most Americans don't believe the results of the Warren Commision.
. Kennedy's body (head) was tempered with prior to the official autopsy.
I'm not a conspiracy 'buff,' but that shot to Kennedy's head clearly came from the front. I don't know if I can place the footage from the Zapruder film here without getting into trouble. Folks can view it on YouTube. Why is there still so much secrecy around this assassination?

Only a dude in the Army would think a sub 100 yard shot with a scoped rifle from a rested position on a known route would be a "hard shot". It's not that "hard" to replicate the shot. Most people just don't actually bother trying. Jesse Ventura and his stupid ass pulled it off on his second attempt without ever touching the weapon before. Oswald would likely have been more proficient with his own weapon than someone who's never touched it before. Even the Marines shitty pizza box marksmen qualify with irons 400 yards beyond that shot. Anyone who thinks someone other than LHO was the shooter is just ignoring basic ballistics and common sense.

Navy SEALs are blasting dudes off the back of ships in the ocean and at 1000+ yards in combat. But you think a dude can't let off a bunch of shots from under 100 yards and miss a few hit a few?

That said, I would buy into the idea that he was part of a larger conspiracy and Ruby silenced him. It wouldn't be too surprising if he was the hired gun, but when he was arrested for shooting a police officer after the assassination that changed their plans. Maybe they planned on killing him later or something. That makes more sense than gunmen hiding in bushes or secret service accidents.

if u didnt watch the zapruder film, it's easy to believe the official story.

if u did watch it, it's hard to believe in the official story.

if you just explore the life and times of oswell, especially around the time before the shooting, you can't help but wonder what was really going on.

we're talking about someone who defected to the USSR at the height of the cold war and came back with a wife, willy nilly.

You can even ignore his time in the Marine corps before his defection and still be puzzled as to how this guy got back into the country during that era.

My take is this was an inside job. Kennedy had built up quite the list of enemies and it would be easy to pin this off on one of them. Oswald was an intelligence officer for some military branch and probably was working as a spy in the USSR. They planned all along to use him as a patsy and then dust him, as was the protocol.

The only thing that was not accounted for was the zapruder film. without it, there never would have been a conspiracy theory regarding the assassination.

[burningspear]

after all, it was you and me

 

[rj144]

It was suicide.

The timing is the easiest thing to explain. A guy who never touched the rifle before managed to let off that series without familiarity of the operating mechanics. Someone who is intimately familiar with the weapon would easily be much more proficient.

 

[DaleBoca]

you and me

Ain’t nothin' but mammals…

 

[Noveltymortar]

I'm pretty sure it was a suicide.

There is nothing in the Zapruder film that shows anything other the the President and Governor getting shot from behind. In fact, there was a really good video that was made using the Zapruder film and modern crime scene analysis to prove all the shots traced directly back to the depository window. They have modeled the entire plaza using accurate measurements and used timing and geometry to trace the paths of the shots. It's pretty clear where they came from.

As I've said before too....it's tough to shoot that fast but not impossible for someone who trained on it. Jesse had shitty shitty form and still did it in 8.6 seconds or something. Oswald did it in ~6 seconds which isn't crazy if he practiced it.
And a 4x scope at less than 100 yards and he only hit 2 out of 3 shots. Again...tough but not impossible to say the least especially if he's rested on sandbags or some prop for helping to shoot. look at the gif I posted earlier.

Now if you want to get into who was behind it and why it was done. I 100% believe that Oswald wasn't some lone weirdo. There was much more behind it than just a random guy shooting the president.

I’ve always been more inline with the Santos Trafficante/Carlos Marcelo theory. Something about mobster that the Church Commitee and House Select Committe on Assassinations implicated with audio recordings expressing knowledge of co-conspirators in the assassination of John Kennedy.
The missed shot that struck a piece of curb under the Stemmons Triple Underpass and hit James Tague means only two shot could have been fired into the limousine (per the Lee Oswald evidence documented following the assassination number of spent shells. One shot would obviously be the fatal head shot the other would be the back/neck wound that purportedly exited Kennedy’s neck and hit John Conally seated in front of him prior to the head shot. This means Warren Commison exhibit 399 the single/magic bullet had to be responsible for the fatal head wound however seemingly improbable. There are other pieces of bullets both lead and copper shrapnel retrieved from John Conally as well as the Lincoln stretch limousine by Secret Service men as the limousine sat outside Parkland Memorial Hospital.

As for the Tupac thing it’s gonna stay an open case because Keffe D has been given immunity and Orlando Anderson had been dead for a like 20 years and can’t be convicted kind of like Lee Oswald. It’s documented by Police officers in Las Vegas and Compton. You can look up some of the interviews online from Keffe D and the Detectives involved.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

A CIA asset.

Lee Harvey may have, or he may have been the fall guy.

But it definitely was a CIA hit.

 

[Batjester]

Pretty sure Hillary Clinton had something to do with it.
