They would be wrong.

Example 1 - "Lee Harvey Oswald was not a good shot." The truth? He was a sharp shooting high scoring marksman, and they had the official records of his scores to prove it.

Example 2 - "You could never fire the rifle he used three tinmes in under 6 seconds". This is actualy true. But the shots were not all fired in under 6 seconds. They were fired in 8.3 seconds. And some 90 odd year old dude demonstrated by firing it three times in 7.2 seconds without hardly trying.

Example 3 - "The second bullet that supposedly hit Kennedy and the other guy must have turned corners in order to hit them both where they did". Not true. Studying the film of their respective positions, and using computer imagery based on all the available film, their respective positions were such that the bullet would have entered JFK in the back, exited through his throat, and hit the other guy in the side.

Example 4 - "Kennedy's head goes back and to the left when hit in the head, so the shot must have come from this "grassy knoll". Bollocks. People are looking at the exit wound, and treating it as the entrance wound. Exit wounds are routinely more "explosive" than entrance wounds.

Example 5 - "No one could have made such accurate shots from the distance" Crap. It was only 83 yards away, and well withing the capabilities of a sharp shooter.

There are more. I like to have an open mind. But not so open that my brain drains out of my ears. Lee Harvey Oswald was the only person who pulled any triggers on that day. There isn't even any evidence whatsoever that someone put him up to it.

The only Conspiracy is from people who need to believe in conspiracies.
