I don't think Oswald acted alone, but I believe he was the only shooter. Where never going to know the full story.

Heh, what the hell, Oswald acted alone.

(on the other hand, maybe it was Castro, in association with Marilyn, both of which contracted Oswald, from a secret CIA snipper program, with Mafia money.)

It was "They"!

I think it was Lee Harvey Oswald, who probably had some grudge against Kennedy. Perhaps Kennedy used to beat him up for his lunch money or something.

IIRC Ruby died of cancer in prison. Though it was thought to be a bit suspicious.

I think it was a collusion between the mob and the CIA, I figure because the mob had interest in Cuba as a lot of mob shit used to happen there before communism took over. And the CIA for almost the same reason, JFK was going for peace with the Soviets.

No chance in hell. Each shot appeared to come from a different direction too. The TSBD was behind JFK, and that would mean the shot that took out the back of his skull would have had to do a U-turn. If it was the mob that killed him that would also explain Jack Ruby's popping Oswald before he could testify publically.

LOL, I remember watching that in Moder History when we studied this. We then had a 20 minute discussion on why that was wrong.

For thoes of us who enjoy these things, if Oswald did it alone , he was hands down the greatest markman who EVER lived. The speed and accuracy of the shots are to incredible for a lone shooter. He would have had to aim(at a target whos range was increasing with every second), and fire, as fast as he could work the bolt to have shot that many times in the time allowed. You cant fucking do it , not with that gun.

Im of the belief that the CIA in a combined conspiracy with the US Military Industrial Complex, who stood to make billions off the burgeoning war in South East Asia, assassinated Kennedy before he could derail their own plans for fighting the Cold War. There were multiple shooters(4 IMHO), arrayed IN FRONT of the Kennedy motorcade, two of whom went for headshots, while the others aimed for the heart to insure that Jack Kennedy took the big dirt nap. One of the chest shooters missed and wounded Governor Connally(the possibility exists as well that Oswald did at least drop one round into the passenger compartment and wounded the governor) while the other achieved near simultaneous head shots, which is why you see a large portion of the Presidents grey matter spray across the trunk of his drop top Cadillac. Watch the film closly and you'll see it too, I've shot plenty of objects with a highpower rifle, if never had explosive entry debris like you see in the Zapruder film, only exit debris.

This is my lone conspiracy theory, enjoy. :D

Mob hit fired from a sewar opening down the street in revenge for Robert's crackdown on their activities, after they helped John shoe-in the election.

Oswald's gun was basically a piece of shit with a clunky action, making it impossible for him to fire that many shots in that amount of time.

Seconded - not only is the action of the Carcano relatively slow and kind of rough, you can't hit shit with it.
Does the original Kennedy-Carcano still exist btw?

Sure, why the fuck not? Bullets have taken some very fucked up paths in the past. Its got about as much support as anything else.

Anyway, wasn't also the scope damaged? And according to Oswald's comrades in the Marine Corps he was less than a mediocre gunman, read: he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, even less a moving target...

CBS news pulled off a re-creation of the shooting with no problem shortly after the Warren report was released. Same window, same speed car, same type of rifle. I half assed fell for conspiracy theories until I saw that.
They made it look easy, too.
