Who Killed Kennedy?

[Perianne]

I watched a documentary last night about the death of John Kennedy.

What do you think was the real story behind the assassination of Kennedy?

An idiot named Lee Harvey Oswald shot him from the school book depository. He had delusions of grandeur. The shots that he took were nothing for a Marine. Hell, I could have done as good with a lever action rifle with no scope. Oswald had a 7mm Carcano bolt action rifle which is way more accurate.

The whole conspiracy thing is a joke.

LBJ orchestrated it.

The conspiracies are entertaining fiction. Oswald shit him. We don't like to think that a figure as powerful as the US president can be taken out by a single wingnut but that is the only real way it has ever happened. History demonstrates the success of a single person committed to a killing shot.

RFK was closing in on the true story, so LBJ had him killed too.

I haven't heard that one before.

Lee Harvey Oswald. Oliver Stone made a lot of money with his distortions.

Exactly. Similar sentiments re 9/11

Yeah Oliver Stone said Oswald was a poor shot. Truth is, he made sharpshooter. Can you comment on that?

[Elessar]

LBJ orchestrated it.

I did not like LBJ much, but do you have fact to
back up that preposterous remark?

And the one about RFK as well?

Sure. There are 3 levels. Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert. Sharpshooter is the one in the middle. IIRC it's 205 to 219. That's on a yard range. Metric is 216. I have no idea where he qualified.

Point is, we START at 200 meters. Sitting, kneeling then offhand (standing). Go back to 300 meters and it's sitting and prone. Then back to 500 meters in the prone. Now you give a Marine a rifle and you
re at under 100 yards with a rest and a bolt action rifle? Toast.

Perianne. Every year, around the 22nd of November. All of the CONSPIRACY JUNKIES begin their annual Field Day on conspiracy theories that are dedicated to EARNING MONEY in the perpetuation of a Gross Series of LIES.

After all these years. The same question is asked about Kennedy...much like the Hollywood Staging of the Landing on the Moon in July of 1969.

Wanna have some fun? Go back and learn about all the coincidences with names...between LINCOLN, and KENNEDY. Somehow Coincidence has become the standard for Conspiracy Theory. ALL JUST JOKES. IMO.

He had motive and opportunity.

[Gunny]

Motive, yes. Opportunity, no. No connection whatsoever between Oswald and LBJ. Shit happens. Some people can't accept that. Why did Charles Whitman shoot a bunch of college students from the UT tower? Some people just can't accept the fact there isn't an explanation for everything. If Oswald or Whitman had lived, I doubt they could tell you why they did it.
