The J.F.K. Assassination Poll.

I'll go with option number 1.

One of the reasons is listed on page 5 (arabic 5, not roman) in the lower half: archive.org/details/WarrenCommissionReport

The Report claims that" Not more than 2 minutes had elapsed since the shooting" as officer Baker and Roy Truly dashed up the stairs. (Not included but implied that moments later) On the 2nd floor Baker saw someone in a room through the window in a door. Behind a closed door was Oswald.

So let's be generous and add to the time given by the Commission and let's make it 3 minutes when they met Oswald. That means, if Oswald did it alone, he had to hide the gun, go down to the 2nd from the 6th floor (so 4 floors), go inside that room and act normal when Baker & Truly saw him.

3 mins is more than enough if you run down the stairs and just try to be as fast as possible. Problem is, it's not discreet and it's not far fetched to say that people would notice. Somehow nothing (I'm still getting through the report) is said about people noticing someone rushing down stairs. Maybe he used the elevators but he was lucky to get there quickly. It's just that the "window" of time was pretty small.

Also, why wait until the car was making a descent in a curve to shoot instead of shooting while the car was coming towards him in a straight line on Houston street? I'm no sharpshooter nor gun expert but why go for the difficult shot when you had the chance to get it done on an easy one?

Those are just questions to which we may never get an answer but the bottom line is I'm in the conspiracy "camp".

Oswald acting alone. BUT, I think there was something in motion and he coincided with this other larger scheme that was at work in the shadows. If that makes sense and doesn't generate a picture of me with a tinfoil hat on my head.

One thing I never hear is that there could have been more than one shooter without there having been any conspiracy. Kennedy was in a perfect location to be killed by any number of assassins who might have converged on the same area at the same time for the same purpose, each one believing that he was the only assassin. It was a perfect spot to do it because there were so many hidden spots. So maybe Oswald took a shot from the School Book Depository building and somebody else fired from the grassy knoll, each not knowing of the other's presence, while other would-be assassins may have been hiding behind windows or on rooftops waiting to take a shot. I am reminded of a line from the movie "JFK" in which investigators are examining the room from which Oswald was said to have fired. One of the investigators looks across the street at the windows of other buildings and says "It's a turkey shoot".

I basically don't buy the notion of ANY large-scale, secret conspiracies.
