(37,648 posts)Not saying I believe in the conspiracy theories. As I heard one anti-conspiracy pundit say once, who would hire Oswald to carry out an execution? He was erratic and unreliable and possibly mentally disturbed. They're right about that.
But there's no denying that some things are pretty suspicious. Such as Oswald's association with a man who was involved with the mob, who was pissed off big time at RFK and JFK. The mob supposedly saw to it that JFK got elected. But instead of leaving them alone, RFK (who was the atty general by then) makes it his pet project to go after the mob.
It's possible - just possible - that Oswald was one of two shooters sent by the mob to assassinate JFK. Oswald was the scape goat. That way, you can understand why they'd use Oswald. It wouldn't matter if he screwed up. And he was easy to recruit, since he hated JFK. But it was the other shooter who was the one charged with doing the assassination, and was successful.
But there is no evidence of that, so there you go. We have to rely on evidence. Still, it's pretty coincidental, when you look at the mob connections and the mob being that angry at JFK/RFK.
