1. He was hit from the front

Probably some in the sewer drain.
Oswald may have hit him or others in the car both not the fatal shot.

I answered CIA and Big Business

2. It was a mob hit.

JFK and RFK were seriously investigating and prosecuting the mob. That's what Thom Hartmann and Lamar Waldron say. They really sound like they know what they're talking about, and I am inclined to believe them.

Another thing: One poster in this thread says the bullet that killed JFK came from in front of the car. If you look at the Zapruder film in full speed, I think it's clear that bullet did, indeed, come from in front of that car. I have no doubt that Oswald was shooting at the motorcade from that window in the Texas School Book Depository building, but the bullet that actually killed JFK came from in front of the car.

Here's one more thing that I heard 35 or 40 years ago: My brother came to me saying that he had just read a short article in USA Today that was very interesting. A retired Dallas cop named Roscoe White who had just died had made a stunning death bed confession: He claimed that he was the shooter behind the grassy knoll, and also that he was the killer of Officer Tippett later that day.

That article was short and buried on an inside page, my brother said, and I never actually read it, but I thought, Hoo boy, there's going to be a huge media controversy over this! I never heard another word about it. Why? Did somebody squelch that story?

I did not choose any of the options in the poll because there was not a button for "It was a mob hit". One button offered the mafia but the mafia and the mob are not exactly the same thing. So I did not vote in the poll.

3. American Tabloid

Is a pretty good novel that says it was the mafia. But it probably was Oswald.

Watching JFK One Day in America which is really good so far.

4. "we'll never know" is sort of a cop-out, doncha think? I'd guess most of us feel that way...

even if we have a theory of "who did it..."

5. after all of us are deceased and it won't matter

to the next generation.
Perhaps in 100 years. folks then will probably say “kennedy, who?”

[Chainfire]

6. Or perhaps, who cares?

The person or persons that killed Kennedy are dead. The investigators, for the most part are dead, most witnesses, doctors, etc. are dead. If there was a cover-up (which I don't believe) the architects of it are dead. When us baby boomers die out, the interest in the mystery will probably fade. How often do we think of Garfield or William McKinley.

7. Ancient Aliens

Got tired of all the conspiracy theories. I believe Oswald was influenced by factors in his personal life.

8. Oswald wounded him

but the fatal shot was accidentally fired from a Secret Service weapon in the car following the President. Best explanation I've ever heard. USSS covered up their fatal error.

12. Wow, very interesting

Any links? Would love to read more on that.

[CanonRay]

13. Watch "The Smoking Gun"

Pretty convincing evidence.

[TwilightZone]

15. It's from a book.

The publisher was sued by the SS agent and agreed to a settlement.

The book was mostly ignored and has been debunked by several sources over the years. It essentially ignores the Zapruder film, eyewitness accounts, physician testimony, and autopsy information in pursuit of its pet theory.

A fairly thorough debunk is in a review of the book here: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1NDDJNK9HO8W3

Link to wiki about the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_Error

There are a lot of similar theories related to a Secret Service agent killing Kennedy. They all suffer from the same issues.

9. Other.

[BigmanPigman]

10. It is a 3 way combo

Big $$$, Mafia and CIA. I watched that documentary that was posted here last night...

11. I think it was the CIA

And the Military. Both hated Kennedy because he refused to go to war.

14. Oswald
