Thread Name: BS: Kennedy Assassination Anniversary Nearing
Subject: RE: BS: Kennedy Assassination Anniversary Nearing
At the time JFK was shot I was in the service, at Ft. Riley, Kansas, preparing to go home. I was deep in the theory of conspiracy for quite some time, assuming that it was a plot. But the more I read on the subject the more I was convinced that Oswald acted along. A trained marksman, shooting the president from a window high up and far distant, the Secret Service's worst nightmare.

Then I went to Dallas and visited the spot.

Folks, given the distances, etc. involved, *I* could have killed JFK. It would have taken no special training, no sniper school, just ordinary marksmanship of the type taught to everyone in the Armed Forces. Moreover, the rifle used was scoped. In short, the act of shooting was no big deal.

I only wish that Oswald had survived to tell his tale. I also wish that the autopsy hadn't been so badly handled, but it seems that all of the presidential autopsies have been badly handled. And I wish that they could locate JFK's brain, which was removed during the autopsy -- it could speak volumes about the wounds.
