There's an x marked on the road at the spot where he was shot. Having stood on it and looked back at the book depository building, there's no way he made that shot. The fence on the grassy knoll is about 30 feet away on the right. It came from there I reckon.
Military industrial complex and the people that ran it had him taken out cis he was pulling out of Vietnam and they'd lose out on military spending. He gave a speech about the MIC not long before his death. Can't find it online. I'll keep looking.
Yah we've all seen the Oliver Stone movie.
It's an easy shot for a trained marksman.

This is where I was heading with my last post. May look a far way to the average person, but it is more than possible to a trained eye.

Ha he that kind of training though? And why such a crappy gun?
Certified "sharpshooter" by the Marine corp.
NCO in charge of marksmanship training unit at the time: "In the Marine Corps he is a good shot, slightly above average, and as compared to the average male throughout the United States, he is an excellent shot".
The FBI tested Oswald's rifle rigourously and found it to be "very accurate". Also it had a low kickback which aids in rapid firing. It's possible that Oswald had no idea of the Carcano's bad reputation, just bought it mail order to be as inconspicuous as possible. The bottom line, however, is that this particular weapon was more than up for the task.
This information is taken from Gerald Posner's book "Case Closed", a must read for anyone who wants to call themselves "informed" about the JFK assasination.

Furthermore, most of the people that attempted to assassinate a president have been rather inconsequential.

"it is virtually not assimilable to our reason that a small lonely man felled a giant in the midst of his limousines, his legions, his throng, and his security. If such a non-entity destroyed the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, then a world of disproportion engulfs us, and we live in a universe that is absurd."

My father happened to be in Dallas on the 40th anniversary of the assassination (11/22/03) and went down to see all the crazies. He ended up having a conversation with Jesse "The Body" Ventura on the grassy knoll.

Yep. I think that sentiment drives a lot of the conspiracy thinking.

I still believe there was a 2nd shooter but that 99.999% of all the conspiracy theory stuff surrounding it is complete nonsense.
