Well its all the excitement of the Police and Crime Commissioner election for me. Dont know who any of the candidates are, had no leaflets, no door to door canvassing. Voter turnout round here last time was 11% of the electorate. I just can't be bothered to have apathy this time.

Don't you mean the 6th floor? And there should still be one round still in the rifle.
I was 1070 miles away in Las Vegas that day. I was probably filling my diaper at the time.
6th floor?
I hope you were dangling out of the window by your ankles - cos it's the only way you'd even have the slightest chance of hitting him from there
Never said I was a good shot.... I was aiming for Abraham Zapruder

It's an easy shot. Even an untrained shooter could probably do it, but it would be a piece of cake for someone like Oswald who had extensive military training.
This former Marine killed 16 people and wounded 33 people up the road at the University of Texas in 1966. Eleven of the dead and 32 of the wounded were shot from the 28th floor of a building on campus.
That's a hell of a haircut.

Flattops were very popular in the 50s and early 60s. I still see them on a lot of military folks.
Aw. Well maybe they made it purposely unflattering to discourage military romances.

no relation to Walt Whitman?
nb with Whitman I've always wondered why no one made more of a fuss of Houston Mccoy the heroic officer who killed that motherf**ker.
Didn't wait for SWAT ran up that tower with 3 partners and his shotgun and killed him stone dead.

Untrained?!
Jesse Ventura was a Navy Seal and he set up an exact reinactment and it was literally impossible
Especially with the useless piece of junk that Oswald 'used'
Well I think that the world is on the verge of destruction.
Putin is raring to push the button and Trump is going to win and bring us to a nuclear war.
Hopefully the missiles will go over us and they'll just knock each other out.

Eve of Destruction.
Both Trump and Kim Jong-Un are historically dislocated people. The first thought he was in Vietnam when he was merely shagging women in America and avoiding venereal diseases. The second as a teenager was in Switzerland wearing Mickey Mouse ears and believing he resided in Disneyland. Obviously they ended up respectively as west versus east and east versus west. Merge their two brains. What you get is a late Michael Jackson on a global bed hopping tour with Debbie Rowe, Lisa Marie Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Billie Jean King and Bubbles the Monkey.

Oh, no they won't! We're definitely doomed. USA is a huge country and must have masses of very clever people so I just don't understand why they almost always elect complete moronic nutters as President.
