Warren Commission was correct........Oswald acted alone

On November 21, 1963 Oswald learned the JFK motorcade would be passing by his window at work the next day. So he went home, brought his rifle to work the next morning and fired three shots at the President. One of which blew his brains out

That is all there is

Yeah, it's normal for a bullet to hit someone from the rear and force his head backwards.

It has been medically proven on cadavers.

It was Oswald’s gun that fired the shot that killed Kennedy. That has been proven
The gun was found at the scene and pictures were found of Oswald with that gun

Yup, just another example of violent leftists.

JFK was a leftist

JFK was like today’s Republicans.

JFK woukd despise today’s Republicans

Lee Harvey Oswald's Carcano Rifle - Shooting It Today - GunsAmerica Digest

Carcanos are kind of like the Japanese Arisaka guns. They are really rough-working and don’t function well. And while this rifle can’t be taken as an example of what Oswald experienced on the 6th floor of the book depository, especially 50 years later, it wouldn’t be surprising if he experienced at least some of the problems with his gun that this rifle has. During the 1960s, most gun shops had literally barrels filled with Carcanos selling for $10-$20. They aren’t good guns.



If this was a conspiracy with high profile agents from the Soviet Union, Cuba, the Mafia or CIA........why would they allow Oswald to use such an inferior rifle for such a crucial mission?

It is true that they were not good guns but that down plays the fact that they are in fact firearms which can be deadly.

I prefer to compare them to a chinese SKS. In the 90s the SKS was a very popular rifle which many people purchase. Often for 200 dollars or less. Other more effective weapons cost a lot more. This has changed today and not nearly as many chinese SKS rifles are for sale.

The point is a chinese SKS was a poor mans rifle and generally a piece of junk. Which does not mean they could not kill you.

The Carcano was actually designed in the late 19th century and the concept and design was a good one for it's intended purpose. The Italian Army leadership needed a rifle with a powerful bullet to bust through heavy winter gear worn by Germans in the Alps because that is the enemy they were most concerned with. It was poor factory standards which ended up making the rifle a poor weapon with a lack of long range accuracy.

It was brought here with the intent of making a poor mans deer rifle. It was meant for people in rural areas who cared more about putting food on the table than such things as aesthetics in a gun.

Despite it;s poor performance the tests done on Oswald's rifle and similar ones show that it is in fact as accurate as an M1 Garand or M14 at distances less than 200 yards. This means it would have been entirely adequate for Oswald who never had to aim at a target more than 100 yards away.

I am not questioning whether the Carcano was capable of making the kill...it obviously was

But if you have coconspirators with deep pockets it would not be your weapon of choice. If you can afford the best rifle available to do an important mission like killing a President....why would you choose a Carcano?

But to someone like Oswald who makes $1.25 an hour, a $20 Carcano is the best you can afford

They are rough working and this can cause problems however like anything else this can be overcome with practice and training.

Constantly working the action of the bolt and dry firing the weapon will wear down the metal parts which do not always fit together well causing them to work smoother. In addition it gets the shooter used to the individual quirks of the rifle making it second nature to avoid hang ups or mechanical difficulty.

As it happens Oswald was a Marine. Part and parcel of Marine marksmanship training is long period of dry firing and working a rifles action. So Oswald knew the importance of breaking the rifle in this way.

Marina Oswald gave testimony that Oswald did in fact spend many many long hours dry firing with his rifle as well a dis assembling and re assembling the rifle. This is no surprise since the Oswalds were basically poor and typically had no TV or even a radio. Lee Oswald would read and re read communist literature and then dry fire and mess with his rifle for entertainment. She testified that he would draw a spot on the wall and spend hours aiming and dry firing at that spot.

This means not only did he grow accustomed to the rifle and it;s faults but he also maintained his marksmanship skills.

All things considered despite having a low end POS rifle he had the skill and tool to do what he did in Dealey.

Yes and I agree with you.

Another overlooked fact is that his purchase of the rifle through mail order was in fact normal and to be expected.

Many ask why would he order such a rifle through the mail leaving a paper trail when he could have bought a rifle through many other sources without any record.

The answer is simply that he was poor and did not own a car. Even in the days before Amazon people did this because it was easier and more convenient which is why sears roebuck had a famous catalog where one could order ANYTHING through the mail. IF you wanted to buy a rifle through a shop or private seller Oswald would have had to bum rides or take the bus or taxis which is a pain in the butt.

He bought a cheap rifle because he had little money and got it through mail order because it was the easiest way to get it.

But some how conspiracy loons think it points to his being framed.

 

[Soupnazi630]

No one born after 1963 cares about any of this

Clearly you do not but many do.

Other wise there would not be so many threads about is on this and many other forums. There would not be so many books published on the subject and not so many videos including one very successful film by Oliver Stone. Successful but massively debunked,

For a brief time 911 threatened to eclipse JFK as the most popular conspiracy theory of all time but twoofers have largely been exposed as fools and forgotten.

Bout as good a gun as Oswald could afford

[IsaacNewton]

This is one of those topics that I lost interest in about the time Madonna had her first hit.

I've seen a few documentaries recently where they used ballistic gel shaped like a man with simulated bones like ribs etc inside. They positioned a shooter at the precise spot above, behind, and same distance that Oswald would have been and took a number of shots in wind. The shots did nearly identical things that the real shots did. The one that went through Kennedy's neck had also exited and struck Connally in the back leaving a keyhole entry wound. It was identical to what happened with the ballistic gel models, they used the same rifle and ammo Oswald used.

This case is closed, nailed shut, buried 20 feet deep, concrete poured over the top and rabid raccoons stand guard above the concrete.

It actually had a six round internal magazine. But that is irrelevant and you are correct. In the sixties there were still many many weapons of superior quality and firepower floating around. In a state like Texas it probably would have been fairly easy to find a WWII vet with a MP 40 or even a BAR for sale.

A BAR ( Browning automatic rifle ) could have emptied a twenty round mag of .30 cal bullets into the limo in the time it took Oswald to fire 3 bolt action shots. Aimed from a bipod which were usually attached it would have been highly accurate as well.

Endless other weapons could have been used and the cover story simply adjusted to make it seem like Oswald found some old drunk veteran and bought the weapon for 50 bucks or whatever which he saved up.

If Oswald were a Patsy as some say he would have needed to have a better rifle because no sniper or highly skilled shooter would have used the carcano. You set the patsy up to take the fall by planting evidence which is the same as what the real shooter used. You would not give Oswald a cheap rifle while a shooter used a better weapon. Nor would you have the real shooter use the same weapon which Oswald owned.

Many feel the same way but unfortunately many others never saw such documentaries. They have however seen Oliver Stone's film which is proven to be a steaming pile of fiction.

In many ways the JFK conspiracy theory thing goes way beyond a mere discussion about theory and evidence it is a holy cause for some people.

If you look at the evidence and arrive at the conclusion that Oswald acted alone you are accused of being naive and gullible. Conspiracy nuts like to think that they are enlightened and informed beyond others. They cannot stand any challenge to this because to accept any evidence to the contrary would shatter their view of themselves.

 

[Wyatt earp]

On November 22, President Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in an open-car motorcade through the streets of downtown Dallas. Less than an hour after the shooting, Lee Harvey Oswald killed a policeman who questioned him on the street. Thirty minutes after that, he was arrested in a movie theater by police. Oswald was formally arraigned on November 23 for the murders of President Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit.

On November 24, Oswald was brought to the basement of the Dallas police headquarters on his way to a more secure county jail. A crowd of police and press with live television cameras rolling gathered to witness his departure. As Oswald came into the room, Jack Ruby emerged from the crowd and fatally wounded him with a single shot from a concealed .38 revolver. Ruby, who was immediately detained, claimed that rage at Kennedy’s murder was the motive for his action. Some called him a hero, but he was nonetheless charged with first-degree murder.

Jack Ruby, originally known as Jacob Rubenstein, operated strip joints and dance halls in Dallas and had minor connections to organized crime. He also had a relationship with a number of Dallas policemen, which amounted to various favors in exchange for leniency in their monitoring of his establishments. He features prominently in Kennedy-assassination theories, and many believe he killed Oswald to keep him from revealing a larger conspiracy. In his trial, Ruby denied the allegation and pleaded innocent on the grounds that his great grief over Kennedy’s murder had caused him to suffer “psychomotor epilepsy” and shoot Oswald unconsciously. The jury found him guilty of the “murder with malice” of Oswald and sentenced him to die.

In October 1966, the Texas Court of Appeals reversed the decision on the grounds of improper admission of testimony and the fact that Ruby could not have received a fair trial in Dallas at the time. In January 1967, while awaiting a new trial, to be held in Wichita Falls, Ruby died of lung cancer in a Dallas hospital.

 

[Lewdog]

Oswald burnt down the White House not Canada.

 

[rightwinger]

We are looking at a highly sophisticated conspiracy with Soviets, mob or CIA backing

Why would you pick a loser like Oswald to be the backbone of an assassination of a President?
Oswald had no chance to escape. He worked at the Schoolbook Depository and was a known anarchist. As it was, he only lasted slightly more than an hour before he was caught.

Why not get a real, experienced assassin. Someone who has no identity and is skilled at taking the shot and slipping away without detection

Some conspiracy

 

[mudwhistle]

On November 21, 1963 Oswald learned the JFK motorcade would be passing by his window at work the next day. So he went home, brought his rifle to work the next morning and fired three shots at the President. One of which blew his brains out

That is all there is

Yeah, it's normal for a bullet to hit someone from the rear and force his head backwards.

It is actually.

Two major reasons for this exist one is known as the jet effect the other is neurological reflex. When the nervous system is damaged signals are fired randomly down the nervous system causing the body to have bizarre and unpredictable reactions which can in fact move the body ( or head ) in exactly the opposite or direction one would expect. Trauma to the head is especially likely to cause this.

The jet effect helps by pushing a column of tissue and blood ahead of the bullet. This column exits first and pushes back.

Bullets do not push the head or body very far at all to begin with. When bullets hit for example in the torso victims often have no visible reaction at all. We tend to think bodies will move away from the direction of the bullets travel because we have seen it happen a thousand times in movies and on tv.

Another factor unique to Kennedy is the heavy back brace and ace bandage he wore wrapped around his lower like a parachute harness or like a piece of S and M gear. Kennedy suffered from severe back problems and wore this back brace reinforced by an ace bandage for most of his adult life.

Essentially it held his upper body somewhat rigid so that is something pushed on his head there would have been a springboard effect

If you take a melon and wrap it with plastic tape, sure it will snap back when the bullet passes through. But JFK's head wasn't wrapped in plastic.

My Team SGT was in Quantico, the FBI's training academy for sniper training, and he said to some of the agents there that JFK was probably caught in a shooters triangle and ended up being hit from two directions. Somebody came over to him and told him to STFU.

Kennedy's back brace made it difficult if not impossible for him to duck once the first bullet flew by him or through him. They put him in an extremely low riding car with low sides. He was a sitting duck. So chances are at the very least....it was a conspiracy.

Oh yes.....the Grassy Knoll

Which brings about the question of the three shots. If there were two shooters with the President’s car in a crossfire ....why did they only manage to get off three shots?

Why were three expended cartridges found in the sixth floor shooters nest?
