(21,786 posts)And the dismissal of arguments out of hand? That's a conspiracy theorist thing as well. You know why it is? Because the evidence all says that Oswald did it. That's the rational conclusion that one reaches when one considers that: ballistics show that the bullets that struck Kennedy and Connally were fired from behind; they were fired from Oswald's rifle, to the exclusion of all other weapons. Oswald's rifle that was found with three spent shell casings on the sixth floor of the TSBD. The same TSBD a majority of witnesses in Dealey Plaza heard the shots coming from, and where multiple witnesses saw the rifle in the window. Oswald was the only TSBD employee to leave the building before it was sealed by police. He shot and killed a police officer. He was seen by multiple witnesses fleeing the scene; shell casings and a bullet recovered from the body were matched to his revolver.
The statement that there is no credible evidence to contradict the findings of the Warren Commission is 100% correct. Because there is no credible evidence. There are no other shots. No other shooters. No other weapons. No shots from in front. No shots from the Grassy Knoll. There is conjecture, there is supposition, there is ignorance of physics and acoustics and ballistics and the behaviour of bodies when shot, there is credulity at believing the most patently absurd things (for instance, that JFK's body was altered before his autopsy) and incredulity at the most obvious (that Oswald was actually a decent enough marksman to make what wasn't a very hard shot, at all).
