You are invited to make your arguments, and to criticize other arguments. You are not invited to insult those who disagree.
In my opinion, there is a very strong case for Oswald being a lone nut.
First, we have overwhelming evidence of his murderous nature - his attempted assassination of General Walker, and murder of Tippitt.
Second, we have strong evidence of his involvement in 'radical' activities - defecting to the USSR, attempting to defect to Mexico, since he was a teenager being a self-made Marxist at the height of the cold war, etc.
Thirdly, there is huge happenstance. This murderous, radical person who was on a long-term plan for assassinating Walker already, happened to work at a place that happened to have an unoccupied floor overlooking Kennedy's motorcade.
All of that was put in place before any motorcade route was planned.
Fourthly, while there are extremely powerful motives for groups to have assassinated Kennedy, the evidence strongly suggests Oswald was the lone shooter, and it makes very little sense for those groups to trust Oswald with that task.
All kinds of things point away from conspiracy, including the lone murder weapon being the worst quality rifle on the page Oswald ordered from - totally unsuitable for the task of a conspiracy.
If there had been another shooter, there is no way we can see they could have escaped, from the building manager and police officer who ran up the steps, with no other exit, seconds after the shooting - and encountered Oswald.
Oswald left the note, ring, money he did for a reason. As he had on the Walker attempt.
However, there are many suspicious things remaining.
