@graphite The last time Oswald was was tested in the Marines his shooting score was barely enough to qualify. Several different independent studies done with recreating the shooting angel , distance , type of rifle and ammo used on a moving target , etc, etc, by highly trained marksmen failed to achieve the same results. I also stated little training with the type of surplus military weapon he supposedly used. The bullet that was found just laying on the gurney shows very little deformation after passing through all the flesh and bone it was supposed to. Another layered point of travel , flight ,impact and time sequence computer study with over a million pins in thousands of layers was overlayed over the Zapruder film in the late 20 teens and they failed to match up.

You really buy that a mobster took it on himself to take out Oswald ?? You really buy that some of the highest trained law enforcement agents in the world would clean and remove evidence from the crime scene of a Presidential assassination with out photographing or preserving the scene ( the limo) ? Much of the" evidence" that is listed in the WCR, has been reevaluated in recent years and they have found issues with a lot of it.

@goodlil666 So that means Oswald just couldn't shoot at all several years later? Tell that to the guy he came a fraction of an inch from killing - General Walker - firing from a considerable distance, just a few months earlier. What happened to the "curtain rods" (in Oswald's words) that he brought to work that day, wrapped in brown paper? Never found. All the police found were his Italian-made rifle on the 6th floor with the spent shells. The cops show up at his wife's place, where Marina told them, yes, Lee did own a rifle. But doggone it, it wasn't in the garage that day where he usually kept it. Of course not - it was in the book depository instead. (Apparently, Oswald's last rifle shooting scores in the Marines in 1959 qualified him as a marksman.)

@graphite No his last shooting scores he barely qualified . I don't doubt that he was in on it , but I doubt that he acted alone.

Was Oswald an Expert Marksman?
SummaryLee Oswald qualified as a sharpshooter in the Marines in 1956, but his skill deteriorated and by the time he left the Marines, more than four years before the assassination, he was officially 'a rather poor shot'.

@goodlil666 Then who else was involved? 60 years of conspiracy theorists eagerly hunting down the "killers," nobody else ever found but Oswald, the wife-beating, full-of-himself loser. Even his own brother never questioned his guilt. "There is no question in my mind that Lee was responsible for the three shots fired, two of the shots hitting the president and killing him." - Robert Oswald, a guy in the know with every reason on Earth to want to absolve his brother. But facts are stubborn things.

@graphite Yes, I agree they are. And there are to many " facts" that are just a bit to antiseptic and convenient. But there are questions that go unanswered and or swept under the rug as well. His trip to Mexico city just weeks before the assassination has never really been explained. He is known to have visited the Russian consulate in Mexico city whose two top directors were known KGB operatives as well.
