I personally be lieve he did, however there are still questions that are unanswered. Ruby's deathbed testimony that he had never seen oswald prior to the assanation and that there wasn't any kind of conspiracy is quite convincing. Yet the testimonies of eye-witnesses who were on the grassy nole say nothing will ever convince them otherwise that there wasnt another shooter. One of them even stating that a bullett acctually wizzed past his ear. Theres many more of these contrasting instances so Im always open to other ideas. I especially wonder about Oswalds landlord on the morning of the murder reporting that a police car stopped in front of the house, honked 3 times and then drove away. She was never interviewed by the warren commission either.

Its easy to see him acting alone, that seems like the real story. But why if its that easy, did they open another investigation into the assanation almost 2 decades later? Wouldn't they have the story down pact by then?

i know oswald acted alone

why he did it, we will probably never know. jfk was a shady guy, and all the secrets surrounding that entire family is enough to fill several encyclopedias

that being said, it happened in the 60s and i really dont care that much anymore

jack ruby is dead, oswald is dead, most of the folks from that era who held any power are fucking dead

It's too bad you don't have an option saying, "I have no fucking idea." That's the one I would select.

The theories are interesting and some of the details of eyewitnesses are compelling. For example, the people who said their cameras/film were taken away by guys in suits shortly after the shots were fired.

I have no doubt the entire truth will come out eventually, but with the shitstorm of theories surrounding the assassination, it might just be ignored because it is too boring.

i remember the day Kennedy was assassinated. my family was republican, but we all morned his death and felt the loss. i will never forget that day. i have followed the conspiracy argument beginning with the Warren commission and the subsequent "investigations". The so called witnesses revealed themselves rather late in the argument and IMO were probably trying to profit from their claims. I never trusted the Warren Commission findings until recently. Mainly because Pres. Gerald Ford was a member, who had pardoned Nixon, but I did hear some testimony recently confirming the Warren Commission findings. There have been tests confirming that the rifle Oswald used could actually fire 3 rounds within the time required quite easily.

So why did Ruby kill Oswald? Because he was a nut. A politcal idealogue. There were a lot of conspiracy theories linking the mafia to Ruby to Oswald; and Ruby to the Mafia to the Kennedy's to Castro. All kinds of bullshit theories were developed based partly in truth, but mostly in conspiracy theory. I think History will conclude that Oswald acted alone and add a footnote about all the other theories.

Yes, I agree. This is one case which will never be resolved to a certainty that will dispel the doubts of either belief....alone or conspiracy. I think the word conspiracy is overused today. I think it is possible that Oswald had a "partner", and tho I'm sure someone will point out that 2 ppl can be defined as a conspiracy, no one says after 2 guys rob a bank..... there was a bank conspiracy.

We'll never know because of Jack Ruby, who was mentally unstable, and a stone cold killer.

Damn it. I was going to have that option but I didnt think anyone would use it.

But overall, since it happened, most of americans, even LBJ, prove not to trust the entirety of the warren commisions report or thier version of the murder. People seem not to concur on that even though that seems like the simplest and logical answer.

I watched the history channels presentation on it the other night, and it was like going back in time looking at all that footage of what the experience was like. All these television show clips it was fucking amazing. They even had geraldo rivera on some political show on nightly tv showing the zapruder fotage for the first time, I think that was '76.

If you have ever been to the book depository and to the site of the shooting you cannot appreciate how difficult those shots really were. EXTREME difficulty.

actually mythbusters replicated the shooting from the book depository to a T and they duplicated the whole thing even to the point that the magic bullet thing was even replicated using balistics dummies,

it was really an amazing show but if you watch it all they did was replicate it will anatomical dummies with eveything exaclty as it happend and to thier shock the bullet did all the same crazy shit the magic bullet did

they had a marksman, they had the car moving everything was exact to the last inch even same kind of bullets and gun

oh ok cool, but yeah after they recreated the magic bullet i was sold on the subject

single shooter, however if someone in a high place wanted to assasinate a president wouldnt it be conviniant to have your goons convince some low life comie to assasintate him for his own reasons while never knowing the real reason he has been selected for the act,

they give him the info on where to be and make sure the president is in a convertible



so the conspiricy may still be there even with a single shooter

another thing that always bothered me is that there is a picture out there of jack ruby standing next to oswald in a casino i seen once on a show....

maybe ruby put him up to it for the mob who was put up to it by the CIA who had colluded with LBJ to get rid of JFK with thier excuse being he must be rid of for the sake of the nation due to vietnam and all that other crazy shit going on back then

then ruby shot oswald so he couldnt sing


ruby was dieing anyway & had no future


I also heard LBJ had all the his executive seats on airforce one changed so he was always sitting higher than anyone else. imagine a guy like that playing second fiddle to a stuck up snot nosed little brad like JFK, i bet he didnt like it.

one of his old allies from texas was about to be prosecuted and possibly implicate LBJ. this guy i think was involved in some murder back when LBJ was senater or whatever he was, before the assasination that is.

and kennedy had already planned to drop LBJ on his next run for second term

so the CIA was pissed at JFK, the mob was pissed at JFK, LBJ was pissed at JFK, LBJ had lots of contacts in the CIA & FBI and lets be honest they had contacts with the mob too.


then they had LBJ former lawyer basically all but say out loud that LBJ has some very secret files stored in the law offices of thier former company.



so anyway the beat goes on:mrgreen:bongsmilie
