The south storm drain would have been an entirely logical choice for a shooting position. It provided concealment, an excellent view of the target, and a secure means of escape. It would have been the logical choice for a skilled assassin.

Yet, WC apologists howl and scoff whenever the south storm drain is mentioned as a possible shooting location. They prefer to believe, or say they believe, that the one and only shooting location was the sixth-floor window, never mind that the back wound and the rear head entry wound do not even come close to aligning back to that window, and never mind that the ammo that hit JFK's head could not have been the ammo that the supposed sixth-floor gunman allegedly used.

The left has hijacked this issue by putting the focus on the criminal instead of the victim.  As a result, hangings and other forms of effective capital punishment are largely a political nonstarter.  It's a hopeless case to convince enough people to go back to the good old days.  Lethal injection is viewed as a more "humane" manner of death.  So some middle of the road types are still willing to entertain it.
