In reply to the discussion: Why has the JFK anniversary meant a push to get total buy-in on the Warren Report? [View all]Chan790

A good killer would have done it so none of those ways existed. A great killer would have done it in a way so there was never any question over who killed him because we'd be talking about the tragic plane crash or heart attack that killed JFK. The rank amateur who did it and only barely succeeded because he was an excellent shot was neither good nor great. It displays all the signs of a hail Mary.
The poor execution and plan are the surest proof of the accuracy of the Warren report. Yes, he absolutely made a mess of it...It was only the third shot that definitively insured Kennedy could not survive; at that point, factors beyond Oswald's control were the primary reality. If decisions LHO could not anticipate had been made differently, Kennedy survives. A pro kills on the first effort as it's the only effort he controls all the factors on. A pro on his worst day does it in two.
We can know thus "they" didn't do it. There was nothing to get away with. I believe know the person that repeatedly demonstrably did it did not get away with it, unless your idea of getting away with it is being shot dead in a parking garage. So, yes the killer made a mess of it.
