literally impossible with what we know today

I'm seeking illumination not argument. Is that overstated? I don't believe it is literally impossible based on current knowledge. I still allow for the possibility of multiple shooters, but my best guess is Oswald was the only person who shot JFK.

I don't understand the right wing adoration for Kennedy, I mean medicare was his idea.

Adoration is not why people are interested in getting to the truth about the assassination. The fact that it happened, means that it can and most likely will happen again, especially since it was successfully covered up.

As far as the conspiracy goes we cannot claim that gov and gov agencies are wholly incompetent and also claim they successfully assassinated the president and it's never come to light.

The UFO stuff should teach you that compartmentalization works. We are talking about certain compartmentalized players within government agencies who know what actually happened, many of whom are now dead. Even with all the documents released we will probably never know exactly what happened. The evidence of a conspiracy within the government lies in the way evidence, documents, and information were handled in the investigation itself.

My opinion has always been that Oswald was a shooter, but there was at least one more in the buildings directly behind the Presidential limo. Grassy knoll was a smokescreen to get people looking that way, rather than behind the motorcade where the kill shot came from.

Wait until January 20th

I once read a book written by a former detective who purportedly interviewed a Detroit hit man who said he did the job. He said he was in the building across the street from the Depository.

Taken literally, that would be all the way across Dealy Plaza on Commerce, which is still possible, but not very plausible. The Dal-Tex building or the county building directly behind Kennedy are much more likely, IMO.

every camera would have a shot of it happening

What cameras though? There are only a handful of pictures from the entire event and one amateur video

Would have been witnessed by hundreds to thousands of eyes

After the first couple of shots most people hit the ground and were either not watching at all or were looking up at the book depository. If anything gunshots ringing out from above would explain why nobody was watching the JFK car and definitely not watching the car behind it

I'm not saying I believe this is what happened, it's just always been an interesting theory to me

Cameras

This is just the ones they knew about.

The ones who hit the ground that early are most likely men who had been shot at. The general public wouldn't have even registered them as gunshots that soon. They were just beginning to react when Kennedy's head exploded.

Oswald bought the rifle under the alias Hidell.

Marina took the famous photos of Oswald holding the rifle.

Oswald tried to kill Walker several months before JFK.

He left Marina written instructions on what to do if he was captured.

Oswald got the job at the Depository through a coffee visit Marina and Ruth had with a neighbor.

Oswald left his ring and cash on the dresser in Marina's bedroom the morning of the assassination.

No Depository employees could account for where Oswald was during the shooting.

He brought a package of "curtain rods" to work that day. No curtain rods were ever found, his rifle was though, with his print on it.

He fit the description of the sniper given by eyewitness across the street.

He was the only Depository employee unaccounted for after the assassination. He left and picked up his pistol at his boarding house.

He shot Tippit in cold blood.

Maybe there was a conspiracy, that would only require one more person, but Oswald is definitely guilty and not a patsy. Besides all of the hard evidence against him his own brother Robert talked with him at the jail and has no doubt Lee did it. When the police went to Ruth's house afterwards and found the blanket that Marina believed still contained the rifle and it did not, she knew.

Commence with the down votes, let's hear the real facts, it was LBJ, it was Marcello, etc. , etc., etc......
