What's your favorite reason for believing Oswald didn't do it?

What are your favorite reasons for believing Oswald didn't do it?

1) He was a crummy shot.

2) He had a crummy rifle.

3) He didn't even own a rifle.

4) There were no nitrates on his cheek.

5) He couldn't possibly have fired three shots -- with two hitting the target -- in 5.8 seconds.

6) As those KGB officers in Mexico City said, he was way too nervous fire a rifle accurately, so it must have been the CIA.

7) He admired JFK.

8 ) He was standing on the front steps!

9) He was in the second-floor lunchroom, buying a Dr. Pepper I mean a Coca-Cola.

10) He said he didn't do it and that he was just a patsy!

My favourite reason is the eye-witness testimony of those who saw the man on the 6th floor just before, during and after the assassination.
They describe the shooter as wearing clothes Oswald wasn't wearing and didn't own.
That he had a bald spot Oswald didn't have.
That this spot was only visible when the shooter leaned his head to the left, indicating a left-handed shooter.
That he appeared to be much older than Oswald.
That he was firing a rifle that didn't have a scope.
That the shooter was still stood at the window as the limo entered the underpass when he was supposed to be racing downstairs.

I also like the fact that Bonnie Ray Williams had his lunch in the Sniper's Nest. That really caused the WC Sham some headaches.

Dear danny BOY o'meara,

You wrote, "My favourite reason is the eye-witness testimony of those who saw the man on the 6th floor just before, during and after the assassination."

It's a pity that those witnesses were standing far below the sixth-floor window and looking up at a sharp angle.

You also wrote words to the effect, "Bonnie Williams had lunch in the Sniper's Nest."

You're wrong, danny BOY o'meara.

There was a tall partition, comprised of stacks of boxes, between Williams and the Sniper's Nest.

Do try to get your facts straight, won't you?

Here a few of the reasons I don't believe Oswald did the shooting:

-- The alleged shooting feat was far, far beyond Oswald's mediocre rifle skills.

-- Oswald's alleged shooting feat has actually never been duplicated. The only rifle test that used the alleged murder weapon itself, the WC's rifle test that involved three Master-rated riflemen, utterly failed to duplicate Oswald's supposed performance. See

-- Oswald had no motive for shooting JFK. By all accounts, he thought highly of JFK.

-- Voice-stress analysis (VSA) of his adamant claims of innocence while in police custody indicate he was telling the truth, especially when he said he had not shot anyone.

-- The accounts of the women who went down the stairs shortly after the shooting refute the idea that Oswald was on the sixth floor during the assassination.

-- NAA study of the paraffin cast of Oswald's right cheek found no chemical traces of gunshot residue, powerfully indicating he did not fire a rifle during the assassination. See

-- Oswald could not have gotten inside the foyer door to the second-floor lunchroom without being seen by Roy Truly, who was running well ahead of Officer Baker. Even the WC's highly rigged reenactment of the Baker-Oswald encounter proved this beyond any reasonable doubt.

-- The JFK autopsy skull x-rays prove definitively that the ammo that hit JFK's head behaved nothing like the ammo that Oswald allegedly used.

-- The first hit on JFK occurred when a gunman in the sixth-floor window would have had his view of JFK obstructed by the oak tree.
