Don't know whether to laugh or cry. :cb

Internet hoax??

[Haymaker]

It would be up his street to do it.

Certainly would but I reckon this is male cow poo.

I believe they put a man on the moon, and that JFK was killed by a single gunman.

I don't think they did go to the moon. I believe there was several shooters and one was the driver.

Saw a documentary about it on C5, the other night. It wasn't that funny either.

A very compelling case for it being one of the secret servicemen in the car behind. He hears Oswalds shots, takes off the safety catch; as he stands up to return fire, the car lurches, and he shoots the Pres by accident.

Explains why the secret service were so keen to cover things up.

C5 - explains a lot!

Must have been some lurch. Oswald fired from an elevated position behind JFK's and the following car. The agent would have to have been rotated through 360 degrees, and his gun jerked downwards.

Occam's Razor and all that.

Does 360 degrees not put him back to his original position ?

not sure it was the same documentary as on c5 but watched JFK the smoking gun the other day about this theory

all made perfect sense to me, secret service had all been out bevvying til the wee small hours and gave the only guy who hadn't been drinking the responsibility of handling the assault rifle even though he was only there to look after the cars

hears shots,.picks up the gun, stumbles and the shot goes off, huge arse covering exercise ensues

Don't blame you for being cynical about C5, on the whole their stuff is rubbish. I was quite taken aback by the simplistic yet logical argument presented.

The agent is right behind JFK, facing the back of his head. He hears a gun shot from behind, he stands up to turn about 180 degrees to return fire, taking the safety catch off, then pulls the trigger by mistake.

He was also the least experienced, his usual job was to clean the cars and make sure the tyres were blown up. The bullet that took JFKs head off was compatible with the rifles used by the bodyguards - not Oswalds. Angle of trajectory of the exploding bullet compatible with the position of the SS car. SS immediately withdraw that rifle from service.

So Andy Kaufman shot Kennedy?

[CropleyWasGod]

So Andy Kaufman shot Kennedy?

No, but he was goofing on Elvis.

[Phil D. Rolls]

So Andy Kaufman shot Kennedy?

It's the sort of thing he would do.

[TRC]

the film is great as well and it nods to this as well.

Yeh, it's been rumoured for years he's still alive :agree:.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Read the death certificate. Informant was Andys father, who died recently, so presumably can't be quizzed.

Pretty sick way to generate publicity for this movie.
