JFK Assassination Poll

OK–keeping it as short and to the point as possible!–who do you think did it and why do you think so? Again, no long-winded debates or lists or even links. Just a sentence or two, please.

I think Oswald did it, alone, because all the verifiable evidence points to him alone; and all the conspiracy evidence is either completely unverifiable or outright disprovable.

Y’all?

Oswald alone - there’s no evidence of another shooter, his fingerprints are in the room he shot from, etc., etc.
Dallasite here. I was 3 months away from being born, and my mother and big sister shook hands with the Kennedys at Love Field that sad day. (Well, big sis was a little over one year old, so she got to be held by Jackie, I have a great picture.)
It was a very dark day for Dallas, and for all.

Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated JFK on his own, IMHO. Have you been to Dealey Plaza? It’s not that long a shot.

Jack Ruby was, again IMHO, extremely emotionally fragile at that point and acted alone as well.

I suspect . . . Eve.

I think her fascination with the deaths of celebrities finally overwhelmed her.

IMO: Mafia/CIA. The lone-Oswald theory has more holes in it than a tea strainer.

I used to think it was a conspiracy but now, Lee Harvey Nutjob.

There is a burden of persuasion here. So far the “Not Oswald” crew, in any one of its multiple variations, has not carried that burden. Oswald, all by himself, with three rounds from and obsolescent scoped rifle at seventy meters from an elevated position…

Oswald, acting alone. Not a doubt in my mind.

Like Don’t Ask I used to believe it was a conspiracy. However now I believe the it was Oswald alone.

Oswald: A hanger on Toad type guy. The kind that would do anything to be accepted into the in crowd.

Jack Ruby: Mob connceted and with terminal cancer. The perfect one to silence the weak link and keep his mouth shut.

Now, if they would just prove it!

To answer your question, I don’t know.

After seeing a very interesting program on Court TV in which all the forensic evidence was examined by experts, I believe it was Lee Harvey Oswald, alone. Very compelling work.

I usually like to think Red Dwarf gets everything right, so an alternative time line version of JFK created by the interference of a guy, a cat, a hologram, and a mechanoid from the future shot himself to keep himself from being humiliated.

Nah, probably the Oswald alone thing.

I think Lee Harvey Oswald did it. Every piece of evidence I’ve seen points to him and nobody else.

Another Oswald alone, and Ruby alone and just because.

Castro was mad at JFK for trying to off him. The mob was mad at JFK for the same reason (RFK was prosecuting the mafia after the mafia had gotten Daley to throw Illinois). Castro had contacts with Moscow who supplied Oswald. Ruby was hired to remove the main witness.

Now, where’s my tin foil.

Colonel Mustard, in the Book Depository, with a Lead Pipe.

Oswald alone. I find it too difficult to believe in consiracies. Clinton couldn’t even get is willy wet in the White House without everyone knowing, but something this big could be covered up?

CalMeacham, I was originally going to say Colonel Mustard! You were too quick for me!

Oswald alone. Sometimes coincidences just happen and there isn’t some grand conspiracy behind them. All of the ‘compelling’ evidence that is claimed by some to point to larger forces amounts just to happenstance and chance, IMHO.

And, coincidentally, Blonde, you and I must be almost the same age because I too was 3 months from being born when it happened.

Oswald alone.

There’s no actual evidence pointing to any other result, just handwaving, baseless speculation, and out-and-out lies.
