I'm not drunk but I'm still highly pissed. I have to stay out of the football forum or ill get banned for all the dumb ass excuses I'd like to respond to.

Half that...

I don't drink anymore. But yes, I'm pissed about Saturday. Even more pissed that the single Vandy fan out here decided to text me after the game. So I'm trying to figure out a foolproof way of burning his house down and making it look like an accident. And hoping this thread would have given me some insight as to how to pull off the perfect crime and not get blamed.

Suppose I was wrong...about getting the insight.

Fear not, I have a passion for arson and picking up the slack for teetotalers.

Just send me the address and a bottle of Dripping Springs and we're square.

Oh no, this is mine and mine alone. I will have the satisfaction of slamming the same person that thought the game was the previous weekend.

Soon...

Who said it was a conspiracy thread?

Yeah, pretty much inevitable, but it could have gone in several different directions.

Seriously? Did you expect people to talk about baking tips?

JFK threads always turn to the conspiracy. Just like all coaching threads turn to Dooley sucked, Kiffin was a joke with a hot wife and Fulmer is fat. It's just something that "is."

Quick.

Who owns the federal reserve?

The other day someone told me that the Vatican controls it and siphons off billions of dollars.

Noam Chomsky: "Worship of leaders is a technique of indoctrination that goes back to the crazed George Washington cult of the 18th century and on to the truly lunatic Reagan cult of today, both of which would impress Kim Il-sung. The JFK cult is similar."

Just left The Dealey Plaza and there’s no way. The motorcade actually went directly at the window they claim the shots were fired from. So why would the shooter wait until he’s going away from him?

I don’t think I could take 3 shots like that with a modern scope given the angle, distance, and the tree obstructing in the time given. 100% doubt I’d hit anything

Here’s a picture for context from the museum with white string showing the shots. The highlight is my attempt to show the path of the motorcade and how it was heading directly at the window and would’ve provided a much cleaner shot

There are some who believe the first shot was taken as the vehicle approached the TSD, but ricocheted off a street light pole.

The area really is small . Could have hit him with a bow.

Not sure exactly what the distance was but it looked like it was around 100 yards and through a tree that you’d have shoot.

175-265 feet, so 58 yards for the 1st shot? Idk a lot about archery, but that sounds tough

Been several years since I was there. I was struck by the size of the area .It was a killbox.

I edited and added distance. First shot was at 175 feet (58.3 yards) and last was 265 (88.3 yrds).

Idk a ton about archery but those sound very difficult. Especially if the target is moving

I'm not taking that shot as a hunter. Possibly the first if they're big enough, standing still and I've practiced a lot

What’s the odds:

1) a crazy ex marine goes to Russia
2) happens to come back to New Orleans (same town head of mafia hates the Kennedys)
3) Gets a job in Dallas exactly on route of a Presidential parade
4) Smuugles “curtain rods” into the building day of the parade
5) gets shot by a guy with organized crime ties.

I’m not saying it was a conspiracy but those are some real long odds and I left out several other items. Jackie & Bobby always thought some group, probably CIA did it.

Can’t imagine the number to be very high of actual marine trained sharp shooter, communist revolutionaries who had lived in Russian, married into a Russian political family, owned a rifle, had previously taken shots at elected officials, and just happened to work on the route the president would be traveling
