I thought the JFK assassination was tragic but not really relevant/interesting until I listened to this podcast by journalist Soledad O’Brien:

There’s actually a mountain of evidence pointing to a horrifying conclusion.

It’s not easy to summarize, and anyhow I don’t want to give spoilers here.

I once listened to a Pittsburgh-area local legend coroner named Cyril Wecht (RIP to one of the best public speakers it was ever my pleasure to see) go on about this for a half hour and the number of things that had to happen for the first time in human history in order for the warren report to not be entirely bullshit is staggering. A trained rifleman passing on an approaching shot in favor of a shot where the target is moving perpendicularly, hitting the shot anyway, then the target snapping back against the direction of applied force and developing an entrance wound bigger than the exit wound?

That’s right, and those aren’t the only inconsistencies in the official report.

More interesting to me is who had the motive and opportunity, and this podcast makes a compelling case for who was behind it.

What’s the conclusion?

That the comment bots are getting better at phrasing things as clickbait?

I’m not a bot, look at my history.

What is the horrifying conclusion the mountain of evidence points to? To me the fact that you said that but didn't specify the actual conclusion also gave me pause. If you can't post the specific conclusion you reached, are you that confident in it?

Don’t want to spoil it for you

It's not that deep, dude. He is just a well-known proponent of the second shooter claim, and that the assassination was a government conspiracy.

I asked you to.
