The umbrella guy from the Zapruder film always baffled me. He either was in the wrong place at the wrong time or was giving a signal to LHO to shoot. I mean the guy literally opens up his umbrella on a sunny day just seconds before JFK got shot. What are the odds?

I actually visited the Texas Schoolbook Depository before the Oregon game in 2011 and I was amazed at how short the distance seemed from the 5th floor to the road where JFK was. Idk the pictures and film made everything in that area seem so spaced out to me. Standing near the window where Oswald shot him and looking at the X's in the road where JFK got shot was a very eerie feeling, and it really didn't seem like it would be THAT difficult of a shot to pull off honestly.

One of the funniest part of the conspiracy theories is how they think it'd be impossible for Lee Harvey Oswald to have accurately shot JFK firing that quickly, based on his Marine classification as a marksman or something. Sure, it was a good shot, but if you ever go to the grassy knoll you'll realize every second amendment loving American has made that shot at some point or another. The final shot was only 81m.

I have been there as well. I guess I relate it to deer hunting. From that distance, I would never shoot at a moving deer. Obviously a deer is probably moving faster than JFK's car was at the time, but it is still a difficult shot. Not impossible, but difficult. Add to that that a few months prior, Oswald missed a stationary target from closer range. It just doesn't make sense he was able to hit JFK 3 times from a farther distance, and with his target moving.
