Do you really think that Lee Harvey Oswald killed John Kennedy? If you look at the clips of when the police are escorting Oswald, you can see them move, right before Jack Ruby shoots. And what about the fact that Ruby only had a few days to live? Did Oswald do it, or was it a setup? The mafia, CIA, or Lyndon Johnson? Give me your other conspiracy theories too.

Yes, because Jackie Kennedy was a different person.

Yes it's a problem because John Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy are different people and it makes your post confusing.

But did Lee Harvey Oswald kill him?

There's a lot of speculation that it was a mob hit.

You can call him Fred if you wish, but don't expect us to join you.

There already is somebody who is commonly known as Jackie Kennedy. It is not John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Robert Kennedy is commonly known as Bobby. Apples and grenades, you compare, young padwan.

But did Lee Harvey Oswald kill him?

Sit in a meditative posture and repeat the following every morning for 15 minutes:

Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, shot and killed John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I'm American. I'm not aware of any American that feels our President is a god. Some of us respect him as President, some dont like him and some are indifferent. And we've seen a few shot and a few killed with guns.

I dont know what the hell you're talking about.

Some of arent actually sure what you're talking about. You ask us if we really think Oswald shot the president and then refer to police moving in a video clip when Ruby shoots Oswald.
I'm lost.
And just lost interest anyway. Sorry.

I think there's enough evidence to support a multi-shooter scenario, and if there were multiple shooters (and the big question is who) it would be logical that Oswald would be set up as a fall guy.

Evidence I consider credible is that analysis of bullet jacket fragments, performed years after the Warren Commission using techniques unavailable at that time, showed that bullets came from several guns. Sorry, I don't have the source - it's from a library book I read a few years ago.

There is other evidence, mostly audio, that supports the grassy knoll shooter theory.

I hope I'm alive when they open the files. I never thought they should have been sealed in the first place.

Actually, the mob hit I was referring to was Ruby killing Oswald. Despite Bobby taking on the mob, JFK still had plenty of connections. He helped them a lot.

Four presidents have been killed in office: Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy.

The mob and the CIA both had motives to hate Kennedy. These would be related to Bay of Pigs and loss of mob revenue from Cuba.

An ultra-conspiracy theory is that they worked together. There's no question that Ruby was a owned by the mob.

Personally I don't buy the CIA theory, I don't see the ultimate disloyalty being possible for the organization.

Nah, the teamsters especially weren't happy with JFK. Ruby owed the mob a favor, and he did it well.

You're thinking the FBI was involved directly in killing either Kennedy or Ruby?

There have been many allegations that the FBI bungled the investigation, though. Evidence disappearing, etc.

The police moving out of the way right before the shot proves that it was a setup from the very beginning.

Actually CT, Jackie is a perfectly acceptable nickname. As for whether he was killed by only LHO, possibly, possibly not. A bit of info that was officially stricken from the Warren Commision's report was that when the were testing the rifle Oswald had supposedly used the sights were so far off that they had to completely re-zero them. Not zero them for the individual person using them, but completely re-zero them. In my opinion he probably wasn't the only shooter, which wouldn't be surprising since he(Kennedy) had pissed of a lot of people. In all honesty however, Bobby's assasination is much more interesting.

Believe whatever conspiracy theories you like. I don't care.

But seriously, JFK has never been known as "Jackie."

Try a Google search for "Jackie Kennedy." Here is one (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLC,GGLC:1969-53,GGLC:en&q=Jackie+Kennedy). Gee, that isn't JFK in those 1,130,000 hits, is it? :rolleyes:

This statement is so comical as to almost not be worth adressing at all. If you could prove that the police allowed him to be killed on purpose, which you cant, you still have not proved why they did so. Silencing Oswald is not the only reason there is to kill him. Not only that but your observation falls flat on its face for a simple reason. If I am going to kill someone who is being escorted by police, I wait until the perfect opportunity presents its self before making my move. When the cop moves out of the way, thats the perfect opportunity. It is only natural that he would be shot immediately after there is an opening.

It is quite possible that Jack Ruby simply waited for his opportunity and was in his act avenging a President he liked by blowing away his murderer on national television, in doing so ensuring his place in history as opposed to a non-spectacular owner of a gentleman's club and a low-level mob contact. If Ruby seriously was connected to the Mob, why then, was no effort made to silence him if he was left to his fate, or no effort made to get him out of prison by the Mafia lords he "served"? Or did he simply sign on for what amounted to a "suicide" mission with no chance of escape? Personally I believe he was acting on his own in a historically infamous act of personal vengence on behalf of the nation, as honestly, among Kennedy supporters upon hearing Oswald was a man of communist-leanings, I bet a significant number would have wished him a swift death as well, and given the chance, done the same.
