JFK Second Shooter Theory Debunked by Discovery Channel

yeah. never mind the fact that before Oswald left his wife that morning, he left a wad of cash and his wedding ring behind.

i wonder...why did he do dat?

:confused:

One has to wonder why he shot Officer Tippet and attempted to shot an officer during his arrest as well. The only thing that prevented a second officer being killed in the Theatre was that Oswald's gun jammed when he pulled the trigger. Why after shooting Tippet did he empty the gun and load if he wasn't expecting to have to use it again?
 
I've always wondered about the people who say that Oswald wasn't a good enough shot to pull this off, always citing his only obtaining a basic marksman certification. The shot wasn't that hard.

He also missed once. Three shots, one miss. That is an accuracy rating of 66%. This is far lower than his test scores. Obviously an off day.
 
This show was supposed to take aim at the heart of the CT community and leave them squealing like stuck pigs, according to those close to ground zero on this program. However, the intent seems to have backfired, as the CTs are coming together in their own rather independent ways to assess the failed claims of the show and provide analysis.
 
LHO was never seen with the M/C after his return to Dallas. No test was ever done on the M/C to see if it had been fired that day, or at all. In order to understand the conspiracy to assassinate JFK we need to find out also why Lee Oswald was not allowed to live to stand trial.

Because Jack Ruby decided to take the law into his own hands and get revenge for his president and in his words, to spare Jackie the need of a trial. Jack Ruby would have been the worse person to have as an assassin because everyone that knew him agreed he couldn't have kept his mouth shut about anything. That and he was standing in line at the Post Office when Oswald was supposed to be moved, and only the fact that Oswald himself delayed the moving by requesting to get changed was Ruby able to get there in time to see him. Unless you believe that Ruby was psychic and knew Oswald would be late, or that Oswald deliberately delayed to give his assassin time to get into position, you're chasing a lost cause. BTW Ruby also left his dog in the car, obviously expecting to return shortly after leaving. If he had been meant to, or even planned to shot Oswald, why leave his beloved pet locked in his car?

Of course true believers will always believe in the CT no matter what and come up with idiotic analysis "proving" that all evidence saying otherwise is wrong. It is just like morons who believe that 9/11 was an inside job, or that the Apollo missions were faked, or even that that the Earth is flat.

Because they "know" the truth, then anything that disagrees with them they must either they write it off as a hit piece by those in the conspriacy or claim that the evidence was planted by the conspriacy. It's the perfect catch all. Anything that proves you wrong was created by the conspriacy to further the cover up and thus further proves that there is indeed a cover up and conspriacy.

Wow, I used to hate Jack Ruby. After reading this, he's my new Great American Hero. Thanks for pointing out what a great guy he was. (I love my pet too).
 
So he kills a cop in front of a bunch of witnesses to make it 100% sure that he will go to prison?

the second hit Kennedy in the lower neck/upper back, passed through him exiting his throat, then struck Governor Connoly in the back, and passed through him into his wrist before being deflected off the wrist bone and down into his leg.

Or, maybe it did not.

Actually, it has been proven that it did. I've seen one show that recreated the shot just about perfectly. There is another one that recreated the whole scene in a computer. They traced the line of the bullet wounds back to the window on the sixth floor of the school book depository.

Loving your pet doesn't make you a great guy, but it does make it very unlikely that you would deliberately place them in hards way. He didn't have to take his dog with him that day, and if he knew that he was going to go and shoot Oswald in front of police officers then he'd also know that the likelihood was that he'd be arrested at least and the dog, locked in the car would, suffer. Jack was a lot of things, but those that knew him also say he loved the dog more than that.

Jack was a little man that wanted to be a big shot. He was always shooting off his mouth trying to impress people. He certainly wasn't a hero. In that place called reality, the irony is that Oswald, a loser that thought killing someone important would finally make him the star he'd always wanted to be, got killed by another loser that wanted to be a big star.

The evidence is pretty conclusive that it did. The way Kennedy and Connely were sitting the bullet that hit Connely in the back and exited from his chest had to have passed through Kennedy first and a straight line back through the 5 wounds (Kennedy's 2 and Connely's 3) leads right back to the 6th floor of the School Book Despository. The lead in the bullet recovered from Connely's stretcher was compared with lead fragments removed from Connely's wrist and was shown to match showing that the bullet that was found was the same bullet that hit Connely in the wrist. Again the only way that bullet could have hit his wrist based on his position in the Zebruder film when he was hit, was to have come out of his chest. The bullet also entered Connely sideways leaving an oval hole in his back, something that would most likely mean it had hit something previous to hitting Connely. That thing had to be Kennedy, unless you are planning to claim that Kennedy shot Connely.

Considering that at the time he shot Tippet he had no way of knowing who the police were looking for, why would he be desparate unless he believed they were after him? And if he believed they were after him, why would he think that unless he had something to do with the murder?
 
Hey...was this part of one of their series? I'm trying to find it on XBOX marketplace and not having much luck. What was the name of it?
