Justice for JFK

[billh58]

288. So please tell us --

who killed JFK? Until you can answer that question, all you have is speculation, conjecture, and stones to throw at the Secret Service, the Warren Commission, the CIA, the Dallas Police Force, the FBI, Lyndon Johnson, and other unnamed, grassy knoll "co-conspirators."

There very well may have been a plot to assassinate JFK, and I remember thinking so at the time. I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing, and the intense pain that I felt when I first heard the news of the assassination. Was the Warren Commission "a joke?" I don't think so, even if they didn't dot every "i" or cross every "t." They gave closure to a nation which sorely needed it, and helped heal some very deep wounds for many of us.

That a small percentage of people feel the need to continue to speculate about a shadowy group of conspirators who planned and carried out the assassinations of JFK, his brother, and MLK is understandable. For myself, I decided to accept the fact that my president had been assassinated by a lone gunman whose gun was found at the crime scene, and who had motive and opportunity. I believe that Occam's Razor applies in this matter in the absence of any concrete and sustainable proof to the contrary.

I also believe that a cottage industry has arisen built on the JFK assassination, and that the profit motive for prolonging most unproven (and unprovable) conspiracy theories is self-evident.
