Agreed. All the Kennedy assassination proved is that by 1963 the world was too dangerous a place for a sitting president to ride through a major metropolitan area in an open topped convertible.

All of the conspiracy books and documentaries cherry pick the evidence to push whatever narrative they are going for. They often conveniently fail to even mention important facts that completely undermine some of their points. For example, the much lauded "MAGIC BULLET" that supposedly would have had to twist and turn in midair in order make all the necessary wounds on both Kennedy and Connally. In their diagrams of the seating arrangement, they always have Kennedy sitting directly behind Connally and on the same level so that it appears impossible for one bullet to have made the wounds to both. But that's not how they were seated. Kennedy was to the right of Connally and on a slightly elevated seat. When you position them in the correct way no "MAGIC" is needed at all. A single bullet path then lines up perfectly with the wounds created. And the conspiracy pushers "know this" yet they consistently either fail to mention it or even worse intentionally misrepresent how they were seated. In other words, THEY INTENTIONALLY LIE in order to sell what they are pushing.

And let's dispel another myth. That being that this was a difficult shot? Please. We have children here in Alabama that could easily hit you from that window. The longest shot was 88 yards with a scoped rifle from a rested position. Hunters here in my neck of the woods would refer to a shot of that distance on a deer as a "slam dunk".

And for those who believe Oswald wasn't involved at all, I ask why then when approached by him did he shoot officer Tippit later that day? Because there isn't a whisp of a doubt that he did that.

Our minds don't want to let us believe that we live in a crazy world where one lone nut can kill the most powerful man in the world, but we do. Just look at the example of the guy who shot Reagan. Hinckley was severely mentally disturbed and possessed no military or gun training. And yet he put a bullet in Reagan's chest that hit a lung. If he had purchased a larger caliber pistol than the 22 he used he may well have killed Reagan.
