#1 Vice President Richard Nixon? Oswald was still in Russia raising a family and living the communist dream when Nixon left the Eisenhower administration in 1961.

#2 the 'Oswald really wanted to kill Connally' has been around the block before, e.g., in 2013.

It is, at least a step down from the more elaborate theories (CIA, mafia, LBJ, etc.).

a big problem with this theory is that Oswald had a good view of the vehicle and the people in it for quite a while as the President's car went toward him - Oswald knew who was sitting where and yet two of Oswald's shots hit JFK - if Oswald would have wanted to kill Connally, he presumably would have aimed at Connally.

#4 So the meme is that Oswald was a poor shot?

#5 I've been to what might be called Oswald's window. Easy shot. When I recalled he had a scope instead of iron sights....

#6 Oswald was a lot of bad things, but a bad shot not.

#7 OK, he shot Kennedy by mistake.
Does that make it all better?

#8 Lee Harvey Oswald was NOT a bad shot. He was a former Marine and a rated "sharpshooter" but was later downgraded to "marksman". Either of the two ratings would have been enough to make the shots needed from where he was positioned.

I also have been to the window, (Dallas native) and I could make those shots and I am probably not as skilled as he was.

He was targeting JFK.

#11 Would you feel better, little girl, if he was tossed out of a window?
