There wasn’t no shootists on the grassy knol. I know. I was born in Dallas and lived there at the time Kennedy was shooted. I rest my case cause them’s the facts except I actually lived in Plano at the time but I saw many a movie at the Texas Theatre and finihsed my schoolin at Sunset High. So refute that, bleeding heart libruls. ---

Yeah, but she just killed one person, right? Not like that maniac, the Zodiac Boat Killer. ---

It is common knowledge that it was Marilyn Monroe who shot John “Fititz” Gerald Kennedy from behind the fence at the grassy knoll. She was later silenced by Robert “Bob” Kennedy. Lee Hubert Owsley could not have made the shot from the School Book Suppository building. ---
