I believe the lone gunman theory is less probable than Oliver Stone’s conspiracy theory. The single bullet theory defies physics because it concludes that a single bullet, on a downward trajectory, hit the president in the back, somehow traveled upwards out of his throat and hit Gov. Connally in the wrist. Gov. Connally himself, insists that he was hit by another bullet and does not believe the Warren Commission. The theory is also contradicted by the Zapruder film because the film shows JFK jolting to the back and the left when he is shot from behind. The force of the bullet hitting JFK in the back would have naturally caused him to jolt forward. JFK’s wound was an exit wound from a shot to the front and many parties can attest to this including medical experts. The evidence of the shooting is very distorted and full of logical gaps. It seems that there was another shooter standing behind a fence with clear vantage point in front of the motorcade. It seems like a deranged Oswald was a more digestible and predictable story than what had really happened. There are so many aspects of the JFK assassination shrouded in mystery, it sadly reminds me of the Tupac murder investigation or lack thereof.
Yes, I too have always been unsatisfied with the lone gunman theory, but what would be the motive for killing Kennedy? Revenge? Greed? A coup d’etat? (Or “all of the above”?)
