This isn't a post about JFK conspiracy theories. This post is about the nature of knowledge in the case of JFK's assassination. It is officially claimed that Oswald killed Kennedy with his rifle from the Texas School Book Depository. Do the officials making this claim know that Oswald shot Kennedy or is strictly a matter of belief? They found Oswald's rifle on the sixth floor of the building. Ballistics tests prove that Oswald could have pulled off all three shots in the amount of time necessary. Everything implies that Oswald was more than likely to be the shooter, but wouldn't saying that we know Oswald killed Kennedy preclude that it couldn't have been done by anyone else? Is this a matter of belief or can it be positively verified?

What do you mean "positively verified"? Are you asking can we know with absolute certainty if Oswald killed Kennedy? No, but we can't be absolutely certain about anything. What does that matter though? As reasonable people, we have to go with the evidence. The evidence points to Oswald, and it's silly to doubt this theory supported by evidence simply because there may be a chance it is wrong. You need a better reason to doubt this theory, namely a better theory with more conclusive evidence.

I don't believe in absolute certainty but I believe in practical certainty. What I mean is can we be practically certain (i.e. know) that Oswald killed Kennedy?

In other words, can this theory be logically refuted without resorting to infinite skepticism?

We still don't know who killed Nicole Brown Simpson. How does OJ's innocence compare to Oswald's guilt?

Thought ballistic evidence proved beyond reasonable doubt, that Oswald could never pulled off that murder.

1) the amount of shots in that short amount of time.

2) ballistics clearly shows that entry and exit wounds are from different angels not correnspondend with his elevated position.

3) a poor quality rifle couldn't have done the deed.

4) Oswald himself wasn't such skilled shooter.

Actually there was a program on the discovery channel that disproved the claim that Ozwald couldn't have pulled off the assassination.

Usually Dicovery Channel shows programs that are con and pro a major issue.

Unfortunaly the quality of the programs isn't always of high quality, nor very sientific.

With your "" in your initial post, I thought you were joking, but you appear to be serious. You might want to look above, at post 7. There is little doubt that Oswald shot Kennedy. Why he did it, and whether anyone helped him prepare, are other matters, but there is no evidence that anyone else shot Kennedy. But, of course, those who are determined to believe in conspiracy theories are generally quite willing to ignore evidence, and to twist other evidence to fit with their imagination.

Then please disprove my claim, with all your "evidence".

In order for some one to "disprove" your claim, you should probably state an argument first, and then add some credible evidence.
