Was it Lee Harvey Oswald or a conspiracy like many others believe?

......Four decades later, the debate continues!!! :)

I believe it was Oswald, but at the order of the mob. This would explain his being killed by Jack Ruby.

When you look at the scientific data presented, it is hands down Oswald. The movie 'JFK' by Oliver Stone was very inaccurate, but very effective in planting the seed of doubt in many conspiracy theorist lovers heads.

There very well could have been a second gunman (I believe there probably was), but the killshot was from Oswald. I also believe that the mafia was behind this hit. The Kennedy's (namely Bobby) were going after the mob. Oswald, a communist sympathizer, was tied to Cuba somehow as was the mob.

This is what I believe, a somewhat conspiracy, but I think Oswald was the assassin of JFK.

My grandfather doesn't think it was Oswald. He said he remember when the news first broke on the Radio, the announcer said "everyone is running towards the grassy knoll because they heard shots coming from the area." Next thing you know, they claim it was Oswald. I have no idea about this whole thing. But even today it brings up great discussions.

Mythbusters proved shots fired from the Book Depository Bldg echoed off the pavement and adjacent buildings causing it to sound like shots are coming from a couple of different directions.

Yeah Oswald was involved, but there is much more to the story. There was probably somebody at the grassy knoll. And probably some government guys involved too. That would be the only reason that so much evidence was shredded and ruined and so many other obvious things were disregarded.

why would people probably afraid for their lives, run to where they heard the shots come from?

I believe the CIA was behind the assassination for several reasons. It is well documented that JFK and the CIA hated each other. JFK did not want war with Russia, the CIA thought otherwise. JFK did not want escalation in Vietnam, the CIA thought otherwise.

I don't believe for one minute that Oswald was the sole gunman. And yes, Ruby was a grunt carrying out orders from those that feared Oswald would talk.

Whoever shot him.

The answer to your question is the mafia. That is who was behind it anyways.

Oswald was merely the scapegoat in the whole situation.

It goes alot deeper than anyone realizes.

Yep. Oswald was killed so he couldn't say anything--that's where Ruby's mafia ties come in, had nothing to do with him loving Kennedy.

They kept a lot of people quiet for a longgg time.

This footage show evidence of hundreds of people running towards the knolls. They completely ignore the book depository building.

Like others, I believe Oswald, but there may have been a second shooter, and it was probably mob driven.

yeah they ignore the depository because thats where the shots came from. they ran away from the bullets. eye witness reports are just about always unreliable.

That's a possibility. I can't say it's not because I wasn't there. Will we ever get to the truth of all this!
