Every time I look this up, I hear a new one. Someone proposed that Scanners made Kennedy's head explode (as in the 1981 movie).

I don't think Oswald fired the shot, but i think he was involved.
But Jack Ruby has always puzzled me.
How can you pay a guy enough money to murder someone and spend the rest of his life in jail afterwards?
Its like giving a man on death row a winning lotto ticket.
So then the theory goes, maybe Ruby never spent a day in prison his whole life? he went there for the camera's, spent a few weeks behind bars.. then moved to Australia under a new name and a new hair cut at the expense of the CIA.

I've read a few books where they said Jack Ruby went into the Western Union to wire money to one of his employees (a dancer) who needed money to pay rent. The amount she needed was $25.00. Why did he wire her money when he could've easily just given it to her at his club? When he was arrested after shooting Oswald he had $7,000.00 in his pocket. That was a lot of money in 1963 so the theory goes that he was actually RECEIVING money from the Western Union, possibly as upfront money for a hit job to kill Oswald.
I can't remember which book it was (or which documentary), as I've seen so many shows and read so many stories about JFK's assassination.
There was also a Parkland doctor who made a few appearances at a lady's club in McKinney, Tx a few years ago (a suburb of Dallas) and he stands by his story that the throat shot was an entry wound, not an exit wound. That says there was another shooter. This was in the McKinney paper. (I will find this paper and give the doctor's name)
I, too, believe Oswald was a patsy.

ETA: The doctor's name was Robert McLelland. He was one of the surgeons who was there at the time.

Apparently Kennedy was hit by two shots from two different directions. jfkfacts.org... Later, the neck wound was altered and the autopsy photographs concealed for many years so Parkland staff wouldn't see them and blow the case open. Oswald would appear to be one of the shooters and the other has never been identified, nor does it seem to be known whether they were working together.
RIP 51 yrs.

I was planning on visiting Dealy Plaza today but it's raining and we're supposed to have storms all day. I still may make the trip. It's an amazing place!
