Lee Harvey Oswald's Bullets Miss JFK

[Probyn]

Hypothetical: Lee Harvey Oswald's bullets miss JFK and Kennedy survives Dallas. Would Kennedy win a second term and, if so, what would kennedy's second term be like? Would he had pulled out of Vietnam? Would the world be different today?


Side Note: Stephen King actually has a recent book out on this topic, but because it has alot of science fiction elements in the book, it doesn't really deal with these issues realistically.

Another Side Note: On that fateful day in Dallas, Kennedy wore an extra strong brace because he had injured his groin the day before, cavorting with some girlfriends. This brace held his body in a stiff, rigid posture, making him an excellent target for Oswald. Had there been no extracurricular activities the day before, Oswald might have missed or non-fatally injured him with only the first bullet.

But what about the Grassy Knoll shooter?

Sorry, not into fiction and 'what-ifs'. The real world holds plenty of fascination and mystery for me.

But what if the real world didn't.....?

If the US had pulled out of Vietnam in 65 then the Soviets would have been emboldened and pushed things somewhere else in the 70s and it would have resulted in nuclear war

No...the CIA would just kill him a few days later...

Didn't Stephen King cover this in 11/22/63?

Red Dwarf portrayal was the best:

Unfortunately in our life times, we will never get the real story. Each time they are supposed to open the archives in Library of Congress they put it back another 20 years. Its now 2029 and was supposed to be 2009.

Oswald was a dupe and probably missed every shot anyways. It was a crossfire from the grassy knoll and a second story office across the parkway. I have been to Dealey Plaza and walked around it. No way the school book depository was a good location compared to the other two spots.

Yes it comes down to that one bullet that was found by JFKs body on the dolly .. a perfect bullet . It had just blew half is skull off and it was in perfect shape.
The other bullet had made some magic path through his heck . in to the body and wist on the governed in front of him .. honestly they really want to to extraordinary lengths and story telling to make every one believe that this is what happened and that thee only was one gun men .

If this was a conspiracy there was a lot of improvising on the fly or was every moment from media coverage , to Oswald murder planed Was Oswald even killed by Ruby ..

But that was just a rehearsal compared to what they have pulled off since... 911

A little side note ..
There is a show on TV with a shooting competition .. and you can get an idea of how long it take a talented shooter to set up to get a shot at a stationary target and still miss You know that it was all most impossible for none professional with no kills to do that .. with a moving target ....

The fact that the back side of JFK's skull brew off says that the bullet cam from the front. I some time even wonder if it was fired from inside the car . and may not of even been a regular powder fired bullet . Three were fired and the governor got in the way of one of them . Or he was a target also ..

Ohh you mean Lee Harvey Oswald .. the ex marine "maggies drawers" Patsy who with an Italian made rifle and 1 magic bullet killed Kennedy.

For all intensive Purposes Lee Harvey Oswald missed on any and every shot he took. Kennedy was killed by another gunman who will never be identified.

"for all intensive purposes" Or do you mean "for all intents and purposes?" Good luck with the masters Badge. Perhaps you should take some remedial English first though.

Discovery channel has a show called "Beyond the Magic Bullet" where they do a throrough examination of the whole incident but it uses a lot of logic and science so its not real popular with the conspicacy crowd

I may have seen that one and a few more .. and it all depends what there predisposition is , conspiracy or lone gun men ...
and they have shown on a TV show that an expert marksmen could do the shot and reload 2 more times .. But it is a reenactment an they know what they must do to prove there story .. a lot different in real life ..
It just would be nice to know the truth . which is an impossibility even if some one tells us what happened because one person only know one part of the truth what they did or what they were told .

The best chance for success in anything of lik etha JFK assassination or his brother , Bobby ,and MLK is just being by your self , Thinking it out and carrying it out the only thing that can go wrong is bad planing , timing and getting caught before or after.

The problem with Oswald is that when caught he did not take credit for what he did .. If he had a reason i am sure he would want the world to know .. They want us to believe that he just wanted to get a with it that is the MO of a hired assassin ,, But they said there was no conspiracy .
