What's your opinion on the JFK assassination?

For those looking for a terrific read on this subject, I cannot recommend enough:

I probably lean 75% lone shooter. -
It was an exceptional display of marksmanship that fits Oswald's background. He was the shooter. Being shot two days later screams there was something bigger behind it than his pure hatred of Capitalism. It will never be known just like where Jesus went after he was risen from the dead.

I was against it.

They had a a number of good shooters try and duplicate the feat. Only one did it. Once. IIRC

This is a topic that has always fascinated me. Not only have I read a lot on it, but I also watch a ton of stuff.
As someone that used to drive past the Book Depository often the thing that has never made sense to me is that I don't see how if Oswald was the lone shooter why it made sense for him to make his first shot when he did. If you follow the route of the motorcade (see link and scroll down slightly - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5934694/), it would seem to me that it would be an easier attempt while going down Houston when the car was straight in front versus turning and moving away from Oswald's location. The only thing that I could understand explaining the attempt occuring when it did was because there wasn't a clean shot while on Houston due to seated position inside the car and by turning and driving away JFK would have been more exposed.
The scientific evidence that I've seen definitely suggests that the fatal shot came from behind and not in front. So in that sense, I can buy that Oswald (or someone else) was the lone shooter.
But what happened since then doesn't make sense to me and obviously I don't think that we'll ever know what happened.
If you follow what happened with the Dallas PD it was pretty much a parade for Oswald to be silenced with plausible deniability for them to say "well, things went sideways." I know that security was nothing back then compared to what it was now but there's a lot of evidence that Ruby was all over the place leading up to his assassination of Oswald and it was simply way too easy for him to pull off what effectively was a mob hit in execution.
A couple of things that I've watched recently that really made me think:

And to the original post, the person being referenced as releasing a story but murdered prior to the release was Dorothy Kilgallen. For those that really know their history, they would know Kilgallen's name from here:

It just feels to me that there was a lot of work behind the scenes to cover things up. There was no shortage of individuals with motive. And in reality, JFK had plenty of enemies. Too much out there that the mob helped win JFK the election in 1960 and then his actions basically were a giant middle finger to the mob. It wouldn't shock me at all if they were involved. -
From a shooting standpoint it wasn't a difficult task. Contrary to common belief the riflescope was sighted in just fine, and although the presidential limousine was moving, it was moving very slowly on a predictable path.

This is true. It has been duplicated more than once out in the desert and stuff. A marksman could make the shotGladstone said:From a shooting standpoint it wasn't a difficult task.

Makes for good plausibility
Then you have to ask how Sirhan Sirhan was able to hang out in the kitchen with a gun to shoot Bobby when Bobby was surrounded by security
The PLO is as good as the commies for a patsy
You kind of had to be there. JFK. MLK, and RFK were all shot dead before I turned 12. That will color your thinking -

That's why the Olympic champion was the only one to pull it off. The Carcano isn't as bad as many say it is but it's also not the quickest bolt action around. Add a shitty scope and install it would have made it a bit slower cycling. Good thing is they don't have much wear. A few marks from being dropped. In fact a new batch just came into the country.Gladstone said:From a shooting standpoint it wasn't a difficult task.

Not saying it can't be done these days many people could do it. -
Wasn't there a post by @StlouisDawg on the subject?

My father in law was a bad man. Ran drugs and guns in and out of Central America for most of his life. Did low level work for the mafia and Republican Party and spent time in federal prison. On the plus side the mutherfucker made a mean taco.FirePete said:What is your theory on who killed Kennedy?
He said he had no doubt that the mafia killed Kennedy and met some people involved. The mob engineered Kennedy’s election, including Texas, Louisiana, Nevada, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Johnson did not win Texas for Kennedy, his south Texas base where he stuffed the vote was no guarantee. The mob increased his share of the vote in metro areas to put him over the top.
Remember the Kennedys ran in those circles. Papa Joe knew all the players and made promises gifting all kinds of shit to organized crime. He was part of organized crime. Only problem was he forgot to include his sons in those plans and had a stroke in ‘61 that left him unable to control JFK and RFK and pay back what was owed. When RFK went after them in ‘62, that was all she wrote.
Giancana cleared it and ordered it. -
I think the only coverrup is the CIA trying to wash their hands of Oswald after the fact.
He had contact with a number of governments and intelligence agencies but nobody sanctioned a "hit" by him. He's just a delusional guy trying to feel important by being involved in Cold War espionage.
CIA has contact with a number sources at any given time it doesn't mean they are all "working for" the agency. -
Why did you link this, isn't it only about Manson?animate said:
