Why did Lee Harvey Oswald deny killing Kennedy? If he'd done it, wouldn't he want to emphasise his point?
Because he didn't, he only shot him the secret service agent in the car behind, shot JFKs brains out. There is a theory that JFK wanted to rename the United States of America so that it had a more global appeal he though MacDonalds would bring in more investment.
But even as a patsy, I'd have expected him to want to send his message to the world. He must have known he was a dead man walking?
The most appalling thing is the lack of appetite Americans have to bring the real perpetrators to justice. I mean they had a military coup and no ****er seems to care.
Why would he be a dead man walking? None of the other guys who assinated someone in the 60s died. They all were sent to prision. As to why people do things and then say they didnt, that happens all the time. Even the guy who shot MLK said later that he didnt do it. There is really no conspiracy to it all. He shot him, it isnt a hard series of shots to make. They have replecated them dozens of times in myth busters shows with the same weapon that he used. People try to kill the president all the time. It is why Pensilvania Avenue is now blocked off to trafic since that guy opened up on the white house with an AK47 when Clinton was in office. I think I had read somewhere once that every president since Kennedy had technically had an assasination attempt on them.
What was the conspiracy theory in Zoolander? Supermodels were used to assassinate JFK because he blocked their shipment of Cuban Slacks?
I've never considered him being an innocent patsy, more a patsy firing shots, but someone else doing the killing. I guess he could have been done up like a kipper, but the rest have kept bloody quiet ever since. I've just finished a book on American black ops, and they couldn't keep that quiet for very long. There's a documentary doing the rounds making it look like it was a car washer they let play security men because they were all still pissed. He was clumsy and the gun went off in error as he looked to see where the other bang came from. Anyone know who first called that hill "a knoll" as well? Was there a nearby non-grassy knoll we could have got it mixed up with?
No one cares because only CRAZY people believe there was a conspiracy. You know that crazy relative we all have that belives Aliens landed at Roswell and that floride in the water is used to control your thoughts? That realitive. What military coup? LBJ took over as the constitution dictates as soon as JFK was no longer capable of making decesions. He was sworn into office as soon as JFK was pronounced dead. You all need to stop watching lunatic shows that play on everyones fears of Big Brother. Small conspiracys can of course happen but the larger the conspiracy the less likely it is to stay quite. Next thing you are going to start to talk about is that the moon landing was staged in a hollywood sound stage.
Which JFK conspiracy in particular? The communist plot conspiracy is the one I like, there the logic is behind and to the left.
That is rubbish on every level. Oswald was an average shot at best. The film clearly shows the fatal shot came from the front of the car. Almost every important witness died mysteriously very soon after. Most people in the area went on record that the shots came from the grassy knoll and many ran towards it to apprehend the shooter. Three bullets couldn't have caused the number of injuries to both men. I could go on but the list is endless.
Thank god no but just about everyone here has a crazy realitive that wont shut up about that kind of nonsense.
Ellewoods, in the first to poo poo on any conspiracies, but something happened at Roswell. Probably not aliens, but there's solid ground for conspiracy there. The existence of Area 51 was probably a crazy conspiracy at some point.
Ellewood, I'm not saying he didn't do it, I just can't work out why he denied it when he was caught. I'm not really trying to push it further than that really, but I accept some answers will have to go further to be understood.
HAHA. An average shot can make that shot. For god sakes man there are only like a dozen tv shows where people make those same shots every time. It isnt hard. The show Myth Busters did it, others have to. Maybe it would be hard for you all who dont own guns but for god sakes man we all own guns here. That isnt a hard series of shots to make. You dont need to be a marksmen to make that shot. There are no videos that show the shots from the Knoll, NOT one. Even though there are videos of the knoll. Have you ever fired a gun outside? I have, lots of times. The sound echos man, it easily can sound like it came from another area. Now add buildings in the area and it is no wonder some thought the shots came from somewhere else. Good god man they all didnt die, there were hundreds of witness. Plenty are still around. You really need to get a grip man.
