184. Fifty years after the event, no alternative theory, supported by clear evidence, has appeared:

Tue Dec 3, 2013, 03:09 AM

Dec 2013

Oswald had earlier attempted the assassination of General Walker; and after the Kennedy assassination, Oswald's erratic movements (witnessed by a number of people, some of whom actually knew him) culminated with the murder of Tippit -- which rather clearly indicates he had some homicidal tendencies

The carbine used to kill Kennedy was Oswald's and was fired from the sixth floor of his place of employment, where it was found, together with other objects bearing Oswald's prints, such as the long paper bag he had brought to work that morning, claiming it contained curtain rods

Alleged problems with the so-called "magic bullet" have been discredited, both by very careful computer modeling and by various careful forensic recreations; the theory of a "grassy knoll" shooter is inconsistent with the wounds suffered by Connally and Kennedy

Anyone who can piece together a coherent alternative theory, actually supported by evidence, will make quite a splash -- but fifty years later, it is just a fact no one has yet succeeded in doing so
