I'm surprised this hasn't been asked yet, but on a subforum that says "history" it's a given that this should be asked at least once.
So, who shot JFK? Was it a conspiracy? Or was it just a guy with a gun and a grudge? What thoughts do you guys have on the manner?
"Keynesianomics is a Ponzi scheme."
"You are correct in that Capitalism does not help with poverty, because it eliminates poverty altogether..."
"That wonderful strawman: greed."
Inequality bad.
Don't play stupid, we know you did it.

There are too many "coincidences" to believe that it was some lone wacko who hated JFK, as the official state version purports.
I could go on and on about the JFK assassination. I took a course on it in college. Would love to go on and on, but the quick answers to your question:
Who shot JFK? I think it does not matter who pulled the actual trigger of the actual gun that did the deed. All I know is that it was not Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone from the 6th floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depositiory.
Was it a conspiracy? Yes because the legal definition would be satisfied assuming no one person acted alone. As to the makeup of the conspiracy, that is where the rabbit hole begins.

I'm more concerned about who ate my KFC.

No, just to be serious there are all sorts of rumors out there but the main indication that something is amiss is the weapon. As good as a shot as Harvey Lee Oswaldwas he could never, and I say never, fire three aimed shots in such a short time with such a piece of junk as an Italian Mannlicher-Carcano. That rifle was so catastrophically bad that Italian troops stationed in Somalia complained continously (and ineffectively) to the High Command in Rome that the local Askaris, having recieved straight pull Mannlichers after WWI (part of the reparations Austria was forced to pay) were armed with a far superior weapon than theirs. So he either had a different weapon that disappeared immediately, he didn't pull the trigger himself three times or something else happened.
Yes, it's time for the Dr Goebbels show!
JFK had a huge head, The shots were sprayed around the Limo- one did connect with the president. If it was a conspiracy they would have hired a professional or trained marskman no? So how did this marksman have such a dispersement?
A lot of wackos have attempted to assassinate important people throughout history, but miss their mark, other attempts are successful. Remember Pope John Paul, how could you not kill him if you had an open shot? Lee Oswald with a little luck and 3 shots pulled it off
do we get free cheezeburger in socielism?

I really wish libertarians would give the consipracy theories a rest, especially the most ridiculous ones: JFK and 9/11... thankfully I haven't seen any libertarian disputing the moon landing.

Why is it that everyone thinks they're an expert on everything on the Internet?

Alex himself got 4-5 shots off in 6 seconds but he completely dismisses it.
Everyone knows Kristin Shepard shot J.R. in Dallas and said she was pregnant with his child as a result of their affair.
Wait....
"Who shot JFK?" is the wrong question. "Why was JFK murdered?" is much more interesting.
JFK was trying to eliminate the Federal Reserve. JFK was trying to end the Vietnam War, because he realized it was a massive scam. JFK was trying to reduce the power of the FBI and CIA.
JFK was challenging too many established interests.
I have my own blog at FSK's Guide to Reality. Let me know if you like it.
Who cares?
At most, 5% of the population would need to stop complying to bring down the government.
In my naivete I forgot that gun nuts are perhaps even worse than conspiracy theorists!

The 'Kennedy was going to end the Vietnam war' is a post-'Camelot' myth created by his left wing idolators.

I don't dwell on this question so much, but...honestly, a small part of me wants to think that George Carlin skit is true. How when a new President is installed, they take him into a smoke filled room wherein a movie screen shows footage of the Kennedy assassination, but it’s shown from a different angle then the Zapruder film. Then they ask him if he has any questions.
