No way in hell I'm going to get into a JFK conspiracy debate. Been there and done that. I respect your opinion footballer but on this we'll just have to agree to disagree. I've spend countless hours myself on this subject and when Mizzou played in the Cotton Bowl a few years back I spent a lot of time at the scene checking it out for myself. I've read countless books and listened to compelling arguments supporting both sides. It is my own personal opinion that Lee Harvey Oswald took out the president on his own. Fleeing the scene he then took out officer Tippit. I believe had Ruby not killed Oswald this would have come out in the end. But since Ruby did plug him it bred an entire industry of JFK conspiracy theories. Clearly a subject that folks can, and do, go back and forth over endlessly. Anyway, that is my own opinion.

Good luck to you buddy, wishing you all the best!

Hey man. it's all good. If not for the evidence -----the six seconds---and the pristine magic bullet.  Watch JFK sometime---Oliver Stone. Embellished, I know----but the facts were there.   Will football hurry up and get here?  No wonder I am going nuts.  Later Man.  You know I a fan.

INT. BOOK DEPOSITORY - DAY

Oswald, .22 bolt action rifle in hand, stands by the window. Crowds can be heard outside, getting louder. The Motorcade approaches. He perches his rifle out the window, ready for his killshot.

Behind him, SPARTAN (40s, wearing a T-Shirt, Shorts and Sandals circa 2010) quietly sneaks up on Oswald. The CHEERS get louder as Spartan gets closer. Oswald attends to his scope, unawares.

Outside the Window, The Motorcade make its turn. Oswald readies himself, finger on the trigger WHEN...

Spartan PUSHES him out the window with violent ease. Oswald PLUMMETS 30 feet to his death.

JUST THEN: 3 SHOTS RING OUT. KENNEDY HAS BEEN SHOT!

Spartan's jaw drops! And slowly notices the Oswald rifle in his right hand, unfired. And now realizes he may be implicated!

End Scene. :) (some Rod Serling Narrative would be great here)

That'd be messed up, Sparty. I agree. Let's take JFK to the Conspiracy Topic Thread, please.

Dwight Eisenhower after he left the presidency.

Teddy Roosevelt. Became president after McKinley was assassinated. He was never selected as a VP. He was VOTED VP by the American people. It hasn't been a hundred years since it was overturned (by Congress?? in the mid-40s, I think??)
