56 years later and still no proof of a conspiracy.

[John Mytton]

Seems not a great change over the generations. 56 years and still about 2:1 that don’t accept the WC narrative. who will eventually prevail, HSCA or WC?

I feel your frustration.

C'mon Colin, it's a poll asking the general population what they believe, what do they know? In fact I reckon half of this Forum doesn't have a clue about the evidence.

12 average people heard the evidence in the London Trial and they found Oswald guilty. Gerry Spence put up a good fight and was very very good and he used the "We just don't know what happened" defence, the same defence it seems being used by the majority of CT's and this is why it doesn't work, people want a narrative and they want a bad guy but the JFK CT's are far too scattered hence the broad Gerry Spence defence which was his downfall.

people want a narrative and they want a bad guy

For some people this is absolutely true. For them a simple narrative, even a flawed one, is easier to comprehend and accept than a frightning unresolved nefarious alternative. A simple story (true or false) is comforting to them as it allows them to not ask the hard questions. Some people don't want the truth, they just want to ease their minds.

In reality it is you who calls assumptions and rhetoric “evidence”, cherry-picks witnesses, and assumes that if a cop says something, it therefore must be true.

If you think your case is closed, why do you waste your time trying to make it over and over?

The obvious answer:.....  The LNer's know the official tale has as many holes as Swiss cheese.   They can present no evidence that can't be solidly refuted.

Lee Oswald denied killing anybody, and told the whole world that he was being railroaded when he proclaimed " I'm just a patsy"

And yet we see the vast majority still don't accept the lone nut theory. Even those who were not alive at the time of the event....don’t those people want a bad guy narrative?

I watched multiple news stations this November 22nd and saw no stories on this 56th anniversary. Has it slid into history at this point? Did anybody see news of the anniversary?

Blame Trump and his cronies. All their mischief sucks up all media attention.

Well said, Martin.....   The vast majority of Americans obviously don't buy the conclusions proffered in the US Government's tale which is commonly called "The Warren Report".    But that same government has created and  spread so much BS that the good citizens are at a loss to know what is true and what is BS.    Some really simple minds, like a couple of well known poster's in this forum, just want to believe in the good Fairy Godmother's  offering and live happily ever after.
