M.Lawrenson 11 Posted November 22, 2006 Was it really 43 years ago today? It only seems like yesterday that it was 25 years ago. I remember watching the 'retrospective' TV programmes on that anniversary in 1988. My mother kindly pointed out to me all the detail on the Zapruder film on the many times it was shown. And now I'm sitting here drinking wine and being morbid over the Wikipedia articles on the subject - who'd'a thought it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And now I'm sitting here drinking wine and being morbid over the Wikipedia articles on the subject - who'd'a thought it? I miss my extra income from showing people Oswald's grave. Bought me quite a few Coca-Cola and Milky Way bar combinations in my childhood. All the taxi drivers are lined up in Dealey Plaza today to take people from the assassination site to Fort Worth to see Oswald's grave then back to Dealey Plaza for a flat fee. With it being the day before Thanksgiving traffic should at least be light. Rose Hill Cemetery in Fort Worth has tried for years to figure out a way to close on November 22nd but they haven't quite taken the step to do so. It gets ridiculous in there.

I wonder if getting shot adds to or takes away from JFK's legacy. Probably not as good a career move as it's turned out to be for Tupac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadsox 894 Posted November 23, 2006 I wonder if getting shot adds to or takes away from JFK's legacy. Probably not as good a career move as it's turned out to be for Tupac. Getting shot definitely helps. It blunts a lot of legitimate (and illegitimate) criticism. JFK is almost certainly better regarded than he would have been had he lived to the age of his brother Teddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted April 8, 2008 I've seen some pretty accurate documentaries on the subject and there is little to absolutely no evidence that a second assassin even existed. Oswald was just some militaristic outcast who wanted some valuable role in world history, but was never much more then ordinary. The mans self esteem was -2 and after finding himself unwanted in most of his worldly ambitions he finally got the chance to exist in political history forever. Some 'conspiracy junkies' believe he didn't work alone but from a realistic standpoint Oswald could have easily got the job done with his experience. Jack Ruby? Another nobody. James Files? Same category. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A thought mind, if the DL had existed back then would Oswald have been the kind to join up and vent his venom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted April 9, 2008 It was Woody Harrelsons Dad. Or something. What is peculiar about the whole JFK debate is how much utter fiction is allowed to intrude on such little real proof. I could go on at length about the semiotics of the Zapruder footage, but frankly the whole thing is a little done to death now. I prefer the James Ellroy version of history. No messing, lots of violence and everyone's to blame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No messing, lots of violence and everyone's to blame. I always suspected Joey Deacon myself. Perfect assassin, an intelligent man who could pass for not being so. Dealt a grim enough deal in life to be understandably bitter, therefore amenable to assassin training and - finally - impossible to understand under interrogation!
