    It's puzzled me for ages. I know there was more than one shooter but who was behind it...?

    For the government to insist it was a lone gunman completely sums up America for me...

    You're just trying to find out so that you can get him to do it again, aren't you?

    it wouldn't matter cos Oswald's rifle didn't deliver the kill shot.
    I believe a sniper on the overpass looked after that.
    The Warren Commission was a total cop out also..

    There was a game released where you were supposed to try and recreate the shots about 10 years ago. JFK: Reloaded.
    It's available for free now.

    I don't understand why anyone firing from that window wouldn't have shot as the car was driving towards it or alongside it.
    Waiting til it was going away seems a bit odd.

    especially when the gun was a bolt action WW2 rifle... not the most accurate tool to do the job.

    I'm not sure that it would've been the problem that it's often made out to be, though.
    Oswald hit a target 97 times out of 100 in his Marine Corps testing that was at over twice the distance and with a rifle that was probably less accurate.
    The FBI testing suggested that the Carcano was a very accurate weapon.

    Still don't understand why he would've waited so long to take the first shot, though.
    If he'd have taken it when they first pulled around the corner and drove towards him, then they'd have had nowhere else to go.
    They'd either have to stop and try to reverse past all of the other cars following them or carry on past the book depository and give him more shots.
    If there were other shooters around, then that's a different story...

    This.
    I have always thought Oswald was innocent.
