Several test bullets were fired into a variety of materials during the investigation and since, and most of them were in similar condition. Yes way it could do that lol. (Yes, I'm mocking your style and attitude, but not your thesis).

Governor Connolly was hit in the wrist, Sorry, there is just too much that shows one man, with that slow firing rifle, a moving target, could have did all that damage with two shots(one missed if I recall).
Not at all. Jacketed rifle bullets are perfectly capable of penetrating two bodies.

The triangulation of crossfire make more sense
Then you have the problem of where the other shot(s) was fired from. Every other position has been shown to be either populated or out of the line of fire.

Quote:
The motives, means, and opportunity were there and ballistics support multiple shooters
Only because you want them to. In fact they can easily support either supposition.

as well as various witnesses, some who were suppressed and others who died mysteriously
Very convenient. How "mysteriously" is mysteriously?

it all fits and makes much more sense than a lone nut managed to pull off shots many skilled marksmen could not.
There you are totally off base. Oswald qualified as a sharpshooter while in the marines. In a later test his rating was reduced to marksman. He also practiced with that rifle at the local range.

Second, the range is given as 88 yards. I have put five bullets into a target at 100 yards in a handful of seconds, with my Springfield, with no scope. I consider myself an average shot at best, but with a scope I'm confident that I could have made those shots.

Third, the event has been recreated many times, and every time a trained marksman was able to make the shots. So your claim of "a skilled marksman could not" has been proven wrong more than once.

Seriously, how did they ID Oswald so quickly? never made any sense.
When the police sealed off the building they interrogated several employees, including the boss, who all saw Oswald in the building around the time of the assassination. When they took a head count Oswald's superviser noted that Oswald was the only empoyee missing.

Quote:
No prints were found on the gun initially, then suddenly after Oswald is dead, they found a palm print.
The partial palm print was found on the underside of the upper barrel, which is covered by the stock. This is consistent with Oswald handling the rifle while disassembled. Nothing unusual at all for someone who likely took the gun apart on a regular basis.

Of course in the interest of the other side anyone could have used the rifle to do the shooting, and Oswald's print would have been there all along. Also it is certainly possible that the print was a plant made after the fact, or that it was never there at all.

Kennedy was standing up to the old guard in the CIA and the federal reserve, etc they decided to off him, Johnson was probably not the ringleader but believe he knew about it and signed off on it.Kennedy was screwing with power and money, possibly naive on the dangerous it presented to himself or figured they would never go "that far" or perhaps since he felt he would never live to be an old man anyways due to health problems, did not scare him to push it as much.
All conjecture.

Quote:
Motives aside, the ballistics just don't make any sense for a single shooter, where as a triangulation of crossfire, would account for so much, and thus means this was much more than a lone nut with a cheap rifle, making some impossible shots.
Again, the shots were not only possible, but fairly easy for someone with Oswald's training. Also you need to show where the other shooters could be in the heavy population watching the motorcade. So far it's all been speculation.

Don't get me wrong. I don't deny that any conspiracy is possible, but I like to see more evidence than just "could haves". Once again you seem to be absolutely convinced of your claims and unwilling to accept any other possibility.
