JFK was shot by someone in the sewer drain which happened to be right near the grassy knoll. This explains the “back and to the left” arguments, as well as the “no shooters on the grassy knoll” The JFK kill shot came from a low place, to the right of him. There is, and was, a sewer drain there. ---

I thought it was pretty well established that Abraham Zapruder was the second gunman and he cleverly hide his gun in a film camera? ---

And to think that I drove past Dealey Plaza at least once a day for two years and this obvious solution never occurred to me. Probably it explains how the bullet that killed JFK also broke John Connally’s wrist but I’m just too dense to comprehend it. ---

Fucking mole people. I knew we would regret relegating the mutants to the sewers, and now they’ve done shot the president. By the way, could the OP clear up whether these are past sewer dwellers or future sewer dwellers with time machines. Thanks. ---

Wow you must be with the FIB, from Quantico or something. That is such a cool question. I guess from your vast experience. If it gets to the point where we need to play good cop, cunt cop let me know. But tell me which one I am. Or which one you are, I guess. I’ll be the other. Except if you tell me which one I am. Then I’m that one. ---

He wasn’t shot. He was listening to Elvis with the radio up too high. ---

There is, and was, a sewer drain there. Once again the best work of debunking is done by the conspiracy theorists themselves! That is, the ones that claim to be the most serious, like the case of the Pentagon in 9/11 and anti AGW climate change, contrarians that are more grounded in reality do care that very discredited ideas remain so.

(when the Zapruder film was at frame 361), by then Kennedy’s head was already hit by the last shot (frame 313). When frame 361 of the Zapruder film rolls by, the limousine was at last accelerating away from the scene. ---

I’m fairly certain that it’s been proven that Kennedy was shot by Barack Obama. ---

While I probably would not have been averse to shooting one of those at the President, I doubt it would have carried to Dallas. So I’m out. ---
