I thought it stood on its own. Ruby killed Oswald because he was upset over the assassination. He claimed that Jackie and the kids were on his mind. Like I said, a lot of people would have shot Oswald at that time. It was an upsetting event.
Actually, I believe that he believed that he would be treated as a hero. Sparky was an asshole from Chicago. You know how they are.
Interesting. Thanks for the info/perspective. I still feel that it was rather convenient that Oswald was dropped like that, but it may well be factual.
LOL. right.
I do not dispute the convenience. But it would not have happened if it were not for the incompetence of the Dallas Police. This lax security was investigated thoroughly. They were just doing shit the way they always did - just like the Secret Service at the time. If Oswald had not been capped, the conspiracies would not exist to the extent that they do. But he was - that does not prove a conspiracy. You cannot ignore the obvious motivations of Oswald and Ruby. I just got to the point where the more I learned about the parties involved the harder it came to deny the findings of the Warren Commission.
Oswald motivation ? What was that ?
The Warren report looked like a set of encyclopedias. It was 99.7% correct and accurate, they fucked up the timing of the shots. 25 years later, computer animation based on the 9 home movies of the motorcade proved the shots went in a straight line from the 6th floor of the building though Kennedy and Connally.I spent a decade or two believing in a conspiracy. Read a lot on it. But eventually I realized that this guy did it. He was a twisted dude with megalomaniacial tendencies.
I browsed it. The first red flag I saw was the "faked" photo of LHO with the gun. Investigate the photo.
Oswald was a nut. He thought he was an epic individual and wanted everybody to know it. Look at his pathetic defection to Russia. After being told to fuck off he goes in his hotel room and slits his wrists. Then he gets shoved in a backwater of the USSR and ignored by nearly everybody. So he re-defects. He is totally crestfallen when the press ignores him entirely as he expected something along the lines of a hero's welcome - or derision, at least something. But nothing. So he flounders around trying to incite mischief by promoting friendship with Castro in heavily Cuban areas. He does radio interviews even. You should hear them. His wife leaves him. He moves back to Dallas and takes a place in a creepy rooming house. Can you imagine how this is fucking with his head? Finally, his wife's friends get him a menial job in the Dallas Book Depository. Within a couple of weeks, the newspaper publishes the motorcade route (which had not been decided upon until after Oswald's employment began). JFK is going to be driving right past this deranged Marine sniper who has already attempted another assassination and failed. Oops!
I guess we all will believe what we want. I will believe that no way in hell that man killed Kennedy as a single assassin. To many problems with that story.
It is hard to get one's head around the massive injustice of a turd like Oswald snuffing out a great man.
I do not have a spectacular arm but one day I really wound up and hurled a water balloon at a moving car (I knew the inhabitants). It was pretty much maximum range, but that fucker went right through the open window at an oblique angle and smashed on the dashboard. It was a perfect throw. One which I could not do again. That being said, I could have shot Kennedy from that perch (I shoot better than I throw). It was a perfect target from a perfect perch. Most days it might have ended differently but it didn't.
Did you just compare throwing water balloons at a moving car to taking a scope shot with a rifle..lol
Yes, I know, with a rifle it would have been an easy shot not even worth mentioning. I used the example as a thought experiment about probability.
could you cite where the Warren Commission stated rifle was fairly accurate and could you please share with me the results of the Paraffin test. I ask these question to show your error or show me wrong.
Seems like you are cutting hairs here. He had a good day.
