      Is it possible that one or more might have swept the book depository, or the grassy knoll?

      There’s a theory that one of them accidentally shot JFK after Oswald’s initial shot. They could have not done that.

        The president cannot be killed by an assassin, if his bodyguard kills him first. Thinking outside the box. Great job!

        It’s pretty well proven that Oswald alone did the job.

          No it isn’t.

          Why did the first round put a hole in his neck and the second one blow his head apart?

            There’s a channel called Lemmimo that did a pretty interesting documentary on it that explains it. Also explains a lot of the reasoning behind popular conspiracies and why some of them are obvious bunk. Dude is very talented only came across the video a couple days ago due to his music he made for the video.

            For one, hitting a neck won’t cause a bullet to expand, but hitting a skull would.

            This as all been explained. I’m not a ballistics expert so I can’t give you the details. But they have recreated these wounds exactly with ballistic gel and a recreation of the vehicle. No magic bullet nonsense. All straight shots into a moving vehicle and the difference in wound height of the two victims is explained by the fact that one was in a fold down jump seat that sat lower. One shooter, one rifle.

              What are you even talking about a magic bullet for?

              It is a simple question of ballistics, entrance wounds vs exit wounds.

              First shot into the upper back does not match the second shot into the skull.

              Wouldn’t he have a gaping hole either in his upper back or throat similar to the damage done to his skull?

              The second shot doesn’t match the first that’s always been the question

                Take a screwdriver and stab ballistic gel. Then take a screwdriver and, with the same force, stab an ice cube. Notice a difference in how the substance responds to the force?

                It’s quite possible not to encounter anything hard (bone) going through a neck or chest. A skull not so much.

            A friend’s brother, who was in forensics, explained it to me like this:

            If a head gets hit by a bullet, the shockwave op the bullet traveling through the brain can bounce off the skull and blow back out the entry wound (and make the head snap backwards instead). I gotta go with that as he’s the most relyable source I’ve spoken to myself.

    If there had been the massive conspiracy everyone imagines, at least one of the people involved would have left a deathbed confession.

    “Deep Throat” was one guy and they couldn’t kept his identity covered up.
