  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If anyone watched all of the specials on JFK a few months back on the history channel for the 40th anniversary of his death, I am not sure how you could come away from those thinking there was not multiple gunmen.

One show concluded that, because of the estimated trajectory, a bullet must have come from the ground... which makes no sense at all really. That is made no sense until the visited the site and found a drainage opening in the curb that fit their theory perfectly. It was somewhere below the grassy knoll where people claimed to have heard a shot, and it empied out a few miles down the way--a perfect getaway.

I am a natural skeptic, but from what I've seen and read I am pretty much conviced it was more than one shooter. But I must say that historians and professors I have talked to and respect a great deal still believe there was 1 shooter, no conspiracy. That is the main reason why I still say "I don't know". But I think, as said above, we will never know the truth.

I think that Oswald was responsible.

There might have been one other gunman involved but, to my knowledge, there's no hard evidence of this. I don't certainly don't buy the business about the CIA or the Mafia being involved. I think that if anyone other than Oswald was involved, it was just another rebel like himself.

I voted lone gunman, no conspiracy. I could be wrong but I'm highly skeptical.

more than one gunman, conspiracy

Having been born in Dallas and then moving to the suburbs some half hour away, I have seen more documentaries and spent more classtime on the topic than anyone ever needs to :doh: . I feel that the third choice is the reality, although we will never know for sure.

I grew up in Dallas and would like to tell you that I saw the whole thing...but I didn't. I heard on the radio that shots had been fired, so drove downtown. As I was parking my car the report on the radio was that JFK was dead. The Schoolbook Deposity Bldg. was surrounded by DPD officers with Thompson sub-machine guns, although Oswald was long gone by then.

I've been in that building, which is now a museum, and looked out of the window next to the actual window and tried to imagine hitting a moving target from there. I don't know...

JFK was one man that stood firmly in the way of the Illuminati's agenda of a New World Order (one world government) - he was truly a President of, for and by the people. Hence, he had to be assassinated - there were many willing to do the dirty deed courtesy of the CIA.


More than one shooter - CONSPIRACY !!!;)
