The sixth floor corner window of the Texas School Book Depository is still referred to as the "sniper's nest". It was a great location to shoot from, but totally misused by the sniper.
I become very long winded talking about the Kennedy Assassination. I don't apologize. It will soon be 50 years ago and someone has to question the official story of the Warren Commission before that version of history wins by attrition.

| Dealey Plaza Dallas 1963 |
I don't believe the fatal head shot that killed President Kennedy came from the infamous "sniper's nest" of the Texas School Book Depository. There are hundreds of books by hundreds of authors who can explain in detail why they think that statement is true. I have read most of them and they are all compelling. However, most people lose interest in the details of a 50 year old crime. Even one of such national importance. The investigation was botched from the beginning as well as covered up. Even if you assume there was no conspiracy the records are sealed for 75 years or until 2038. That in itself could qualify as a cover up. Since no one can ever say with certainty, what happened on 11/22/63 it will always be mystery.
Here is how I cut to the chase to cast doubt on the single assassin theory of the Kennedy Assassination. It is my elevator pitch. Enough for the curious who have no attention for long stories.
Above is a picture map of Dealey Plaza 1963, the Kennedy motorcade route drawn in red. The Book Depository is colored yellow and the sniper's nest is the black dot. The yellow "X" is approximately where the fatal shot hit "the target".
Notice that instead of going straight to the freeway on Main Street due south, the President's car made an odd right turn on Houston Street for only one block and then a left turn onto Elm. It was the only turn the motorcade made during the entire downtown Dallas parade. With all streets closed there was no reason not to continue on down Main.
The "target" slows down and turns directly toward the sniper on Houston Street continuing to move closer for the length of a city block. (that would be the area shaded in blue) From that position the sniper could look directly into the target's eyes with the scope. It would be very hard to miss a shot like that and at the speed and direction he would have plenty of time to aim. But the sniper does not take that shot.
The "target" slows again to make a left turn directly in front of and below the "snipers nest". The sniper is as close as he will ever be to the target, six floors directly above. But the sniper does not take that easy shot either. He waits until the "target" turns moving at a 45 degree angle away from his position which by then is partly obscured by the trees below. This is the shot he takes. Unlike the straight on shot this angle has a very low percentage of being a successful kill shot.
Told you... most people lose interest by now, but there it is; just one small mystery among the thousands about this murder that will never be answered, not even in 2038.
As you were,

There are so many holes in the official story. And I know you are from that area and have probably been to Dealey Plaza more than once. I have too, and when I walk around the plaza, looking at various potential sniper posts, I am struck by how the official snipers nest is among the worst positions for the fatal shot. You know, Bill DeMarr worked for Jack Ruby and testified for the Warren Commission. I asked him, and he believes the official story. I really can't though, there's just too much evidence that points to multiple shooters.
