Apologies if this causes offence.I thought it may be relevent to the thread.I found the experience of seeing Dealy Plaza from 'Oswalds' P.O.V. thought provoking.<br>Heres a link to <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=5264" target="top">JFK Reloaded</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->,the <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFK_Reloaded" target="top">controversial assasination simulator</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br>Its considered abandonware,so you aren't breaking any laws by downloading it.(22mb download)<br><br>If you are easily offended,you probably shouldn't download it.<br>The graphics are fairly gory,so be warned.<br><br>Having had the experience of playing 'Oswald',I can't help thinking that if I was a lone nut,I wouldn't wait for the car to be moving away from me.I would shoot as JFK was coming towards me,after making that sharp right hand turn.Its simply an easier target.I wonder if he was meant to die approaching the depository.Why shoot through tree branches at a target moving away from you? 20 seconds (or so) earlier the car is moving much more slowly,navigating the unscheduled route change.It is approaching Oswald practically head-on.You only need one gunman to do the job.The scheduled route would have still taken JFK into the kill zone.There is no real need for the change.If he had been shot approaching Oswald,there would have been no need for crossfire, magic bullets,the driver slowing down, replacing the windscreen,Connoly contradicting himself,,mutilation of the corpse,the theft of the brain,commandeering the autopsy,etc.<br>I think the actual killing was a contingency plan.For whatever reason,'Oswald' didn't open fire when he was supposed to.They added an unrequired 'dog leg' to the journey which presented JFK face on to the killer.Only,he doesn't shoot here.Why not?He doesn't open fire until the car is back on the official route.His best opportunity is gone.Someone went to a lot of trouble to change the route,but its been a wasted effort.Now they have to use Team B.Cue messy cover-up.<br><br>Maybe 'Oswald' didn't trust plan A.It left him alone in a room holding a rifle,forced to trust an escape plan he had no control over.Waiting until Jfk is in the kill zone forces the conspiracy.Now he's not the only shooter,and he cannot be so easily framed as a lone nut.<br><br>stick a fork in me,I'm done.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
