Those who demand that everyone "just ACCEPT that Oswald did it"...

153. It would be interesting to see how many people that do not believe in any conspiracy...?

...were not even alive in 1963? Or were not old enough to filter the information they were receiving?

That would be even more disturbing than the conspiracy theorists - that so many now believe the government version and everyone else is nuts.

I was sixteen at the time and I had no reason to believe that Oswald did not act alone. However, when he was brought out into such an insecure area and was gunned down by Jack Ruby, I began to have doubts. Who was this Ruby fellow? Oh, he had criminal connections? And how Oswald had gone to Russia and then had returned to the US? And how no one knew where he was on that day? Then, we learn shortly thereafter that Jack Ruby had cancer and was dying? And how Bobby was cracking down on the crime families...etc...etc...

It was then that I started to question the single gunman theory. There was a lot of doubt. It was not cut and dried. The Warren Commission looked more like a cover-up than an investigation.

So, if you did not experience it, I don't think you have any qualifications to speak on it, except to give the government version.
