In reply to the discussion: Thousands of JFK assassination documents have just been made public [View all]DickKessler
(408 posts)32. You don't understand, JFK HAD to have been killed by a conspiracy worthy of his importance.
It couldn't have been just a deranged "little Communist" as Jackie said.
The violent, abrupt and tragic end of Camelot demands a more important, powerful, sinister, and conspiratorial cause. That's what this is all about. That's what it's always been about (JFK assassination conspiracy theories). JFK could only have been killed by really powerful people, by this logic.
The sad, awful, and scary truth is that anyone of any importance or goodness can die abruptly in the most random, senseless, and petty way possible. It's hard for us to accept that, as human beings. But that's just how it is.

Cool. Will it change the fact that LHO was solely responsible for JFK and JD Tippit's murders?

What got me was how GHWB claimed he "couldn't remember" where he was that day.
