(20,903 posts)is that it's still a very emotional issue, even if you didn't actually live through it but especially if you did, and it's very frightening to think that more than one person, indeed, groups or agencies, could have been involved in such a tragic subversion of democracy.
Personally, I do believe that Oswald was the lone gunman, but I am not at all convinced that he acted all on his own. In fact, I'm almost sure that he didn't. Now, as to whether he was acting for the CIA, the Mob, the John Birchers or other assorted RW radical anti-American trash who seemed to gravitate to Dallas and other parts of Texas, I don't know. I'm not sure if we'll ever know, at least not until the government releases a lot of the classified documentation that it's still keeping under wraps. Dallas was such a hotbed of RW hate and radicalism that he may very well have been acting on their behalf.
