If you mean, by acting alone, that he came up with the idea and did it of his own volition, then perhaps, but he was the only shooter. He was a marine, and any green recruit fresh out of boot camp could have pulled off that shot, not to mention that he had plenty of time to squeeze off three shots from a bolt action.

All the above EXCEPT Oswald.

Oh, and I've never bought into the single shooter theory either.

The fatal shot actually came from the front of the motorcade NOT the rear.

The MAGIC bullet theory is just so much government BULL SHIT!

The motorcycle cops ran TOWARD the grassy knoll, cause that's the DIRECTION the shots came from.

I could go on, but I think you know where I stand.

You may be right about him being the only shooter. If so, he was better than good. From 1958-1962 I was about the 3rd best shooter in the U.S.M.C. with the M-1 and that was a semi-auto. I can say for sure I couldn't have made those 3 shots. I sure wish he would have taken a different route in life and used his shooting skills in other ways. There is none better in this old world.

Eh, so maybe I was wrong about the distance. He did get sharpshooter on his rifle qualification. As far as bolt action rifles, I've used a KAR98, which has a similar action to the one Oswald used. In the 8 seconds he had, it's technically possible to get off 4 shots, and more than enough time to get off 3 if you aim.


The fatal shot actually came from the front of the motorcade NOT the rear.

I suppose you're referring to the fact that Kennedy's head went backward when he was hit? It's called the 'jet effect.' The bullet's energy on a rifle like that isn't dispersed on the person's head. It punches a small hole in the skull and the brain is soft. However, when the bullet comes out the other side, it carries a lot of brain with it, causing an effect similar to a jet engine. You can see this in action on this video, from Penn & Teller's show "Bullshit!". The plastic wrapped around the melon is to simulate the skull, and was specificaly designed to offer the same resistance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1J3-QxFBQA

Notice how the melon moves towards the direction the shot was fired from, not away.

My suspects:

1. The mafia, JFK and his brother Bobby the Attorney General had begun cracking down on them, don’t forget Bobby was also assassinated in 68 (was it?).
2. The Mob, daddy had lots of connections from the illegal liqueur days, some say the Mob is what got John elected.
3. Cuba (maybe) which had connections with the Mob.
4. The USSR which had connections to Cuba and had just endured a blockade of their child Cuba by JFK.
5. LHO had connections to the USSR.
6. The Mob again, Jack Rudy had some connections to them.

As far as one shooter..I too was a competitive shooter similar to Merlin, but as a civilian.
No way I could have squeezed off 3 shots accurately in that time frame from a bolt action rifle..

I don’t think LBJ had a thing to do with it. Nor do I buy that it was LHO all alone.

PS..where is Jimmy Hoffa?

I don't know about the Marines but the army has three catagories of shooter.

Marksman (barely qualifies)

Sharpshooter (good)

Expert ( can hit just about anything)

I think there were two shooters and oswald was one and was set up as the patsy. I'm inclined to go with the mafia theory myself.

The Marines has the same three division. Difference being, Marines are required to qualify with the service weapon at 200, 300, and 500 meters.

From Oswald's position, and the distance, any Marine who COULDN'T have made the shot should be ashamed of himself.

Army is the same. I shot expert with the M14 M16 and 45. If he was a sharpshooter he was not that good a shot. But then the media probably got that wrong like everything else they report. Even back then. And then he was out of the marines for how long? I don't recall reading anything about his target practicing or anything and you know to keep that edge you have to get practice in periodically. The knowledge stays with you but your accuracy will suffer.

Sharpshooter in the Marines is no joke. Used to be, on the yard-range (as opposed to metric), 190-209 was Marksman. 210-219 was Sharpshooter. Anything over 220 (out of 250) is Expert. You have to be closer to Expert than bare-minimum to get Sharpshooter.

None of which really trains an individual to fire a Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle at a moving target at 200+ ft. He had a 4X scope and fired from a rest at a car moving 11 mph. Not that difficult, IMO.

I watched this special on the History Channel about a month ago. It pretty-much debunked every conspiracy myth associated with the Kennedy assassination.

One of the things they said was the cause of the conspiracy theory mentality is that we, as a people, just cannot handle the fact that something so random can actually happen, so we delude ourselves into thinking there has to be "more."

No amount of evidence, nor lack thereof, is going to change people's minds about it.

I'm a believer in the lone gunman theory. Lee Harvey Oswald, for whatever reason his warped little mind came up with, popped the President. No REAL evidence supports any other theory, and I HAVE looked at them all.

Just my opinion, FWIW.

I can tell its been a while since I've looked at the Marine Corp news. I didn't even know they called it meters instead of yards now. I wouldn't know what a meter was if it jumped out at me anyway. Yes, we had marksman, sharpshooter, and expert. Like you said, we had to qualify at 200, 300, and 500 yards. We shot match at 300, 500, and 1000 yards. I was one of the best in the Corp and range coach was one of my positions, and I have boxes of trophies, but I'm sure not ashamed to say that I couldn't have made those 3 shots he made. Maybe made them, but not accurately.

The rifle range at Edson Range, Camp Pendleton, is a metric range. 500 meters is roughly equal to 560 yards. IIRC, the scores required on the metric range are 186 MM, 206-215 SS, and 217-250 Ex. The rest of the ranges as far as I know are "KD" (known distance) -- yards.

If you were a match shooter, I think you're low-rate yourself. On the aforementioned history channel special, a guy recreates the shots. Easily.

I saw that one where he shot a watermelon in a moving limousine. Too tough for me. I coached at Camp Margarita at camp Pendleton from Feb. 60 until Feb 61. Then I went to Moffett Field as an M.P. The only thing I shot there was skeet with a 12 gauge. One of my most memorial moments was in 1960 when I fired 248 for record. One of the perks when you fired 3 years expert, you get a bar that goes on (added to) the expert badge. If you have it and stand inspection, nobody takes your rifle. It's just a courtesy. The barrel could be full of mud and nobody would know it. I filed all that in the old memory bank under "Good Old Days".

Not what I saw, maybe I didn't see the same vid. They one I saw was CBS report. Only one shooter had three hits the others managed two hits..They failed to mention which part of the silhouette they hit though. They did note that this is the only test conducted with the target moving, the rest had been stationary.

As I said how much practice had oswald been doing before the shooting? It's fine for a shooter that shoots at a range regularly to do something like that. But oswald had been out of the Marines for years and probably not doing any practice shooting during that time. Had he zeroed the weapon beforehand? I question his ability with the weapon used.

The first shot would have been his best aimed shot, while the next two would have been more rushed and therefore less accurate. Especially if he hadn't practice for a while.

I don't know how much practice Oswald got, but from everything I've seen, he was a gun nut, so he probably shot on a reguarl basis. I used to go one or two times a week myself.

The conspiracy theories abound, and I couldn't possible keep track of them all, or nor remember how each and every one was debunked.

Given the scenario, there really isn't room for more than one shooter. Even if you have only two shooters, you get at least 4-6 shots, not three, and coming from different directions. As you add shooters, the shots and directions increase.

The most obvious fact to me was stated by a then-KGB agent who later defected: He said it was preposterous to think anyone truly capable of espionage/assasination above the kindergarten level would use a fruitloop like Oswald, and Jack Ruby was a known loudmouth and nutjob himself, so he definitely would be out.

And I hold the same opinion of this conspiracy theory that I do most others ... if you get two Americans together to form conspiracy, one of them will sell out the other.

The most obvious problem with that thinking is you're talking hundreds if not thousands of people involved in a conspiracy to murder the President of the US. All it takes is for one to say no, and the more you ask, the more oyu increase the odds of that happening. Not to mention a conspiracy that huge would have had one-or-more people selling out.

Lastly, no real professional conspiracy is going to include a nutjob like Oswald and a self-agrandizing knucklehead like Ruby.

This is merely a page from the official report. Herbert Hoover and LBJ had complete control over the Warren Commission.

The HC documentary that was banned states that out of all the fingerprints found, one was not identified and was placed in the national archives. In 1998 it was found to match Mac Wallace, a convicted murderer. This is described in the last 2 minutes of segment 4.

Yes I do. You can tell a lot about what people are thinking by looking at their reactions and mannerisms in certain situations. For that reason I've always suspected LBJ. The evidence that I've seen supports my intuition, much more than the government accepted theory of the crime.

It's bullshit unsupported by any real fact. Simple as that.

You suspect LBJ because you presume "you can tell a lot about what people are thinking by looking at their reactions and mannerisms in certain situations."

On January 23, 1973, the day LBJ died, how old were YOU? I'm just curious because I'd bet dollars to donuts you weren't even alive when died, much less when he lived to observe his "reactions and mannerisms in certain situations.

The evidence you've seen that supports LBJ's guilt is not supported by fact.

The Warren Commission Report; however, dovetails with actual facts and evidence.

So basically, you'd rather believe an unsupported conspiracy theory than actual fact. 'Bout says it all.

Y'know, I'm not adverse to an alternate theory. I've seen, read or heard just about all of them, to include the LBJ theory.

When one is presented that is supported by fact and irrefutable evidence moreso than the Warren Commission Report, I'll support that. But I'm not going to support an alternate theory just because the simple truth is just too hard to accept.

I think we have all we're going to get, and that we have the basic truth.

What if LBJ had NOT formed the Warren Commission? He'd be accused of a cover-up. He did form the Warren Commission, and he gets accused of orchestrating a cover-up.

The Warren Commission presented a report that basically fit all the facts and evidence. Too easy. Couldn't be.

Every other theory presents one-sided facts, twisted facts, and omits certain facts, or in the absence of fact, just fabricates them. All have 8" howitzer-size holes in them.

The fact is, without a documented, sworn confession by Lee Harvey Oswald, there will be no definitive answer; which, is unacceptable to Americans. Obviously, an investigation based on the sequence of events, facts and evidence isn't good enough. We want a smoking gun, and were deprived.

1. The facts are clear and you seem to want to ignore them.
2. The images that I see today on videos are unchanged since I first saw them in the 60’s and early 70’s.
3. The Warren report relies on evidence completely controlled by Hoover and Johnson.

I've seen all the History Channel videos on the Lincoln Assassination. Read several books on the subject as well.

The only thing I didn't watch was the Oliver Stone movie "JFK;" which, many people nowadays is a true story and not just more Oliver Stone BS.

I've sean, read, or heard pretty-much every conspiracy theory on the topic dreamed up. They all fall short, IMO.

I watched this special on the History Channel about a month ago. It pretty-much debunked every conspiracy myth associated with the Kennedy assassination.

One of the things they said was the cause of the conspiracy theory mentality is that we, as a people, just cannot handle the fact that something so random can actually happen, so we delude ourselves into thinking there has to be "more."

No amount of evidence, nor lack thereof, is going to change people's minds about it.

I'm a believer in the lone gunman theory. Lee Harvey Oswald, for whatever reason his warped little mind came up with, popped the President. No REAL evidence supports any other theory, and I HAVE looked at them all.


Oh really???? how about the fact that a peice of Kennedy's Skull popped out from the "BACK" of his head, and was found later?

Incorrect. The head could whiplash either forward or backward, and the fragments could fly wherever if he was shot from front or back.

I guess Ruby was clairvoyent as well? Since he had enough foresight to establish his cover as an egotistical, delusional loudmouth LONG before Kennedy was ever thought of for President?
