In some ways PFA is a joke.

Not only did I know this would be your answer, but I also had a strong suspicion you would tie yourself in to having some "inside" info because of your Chicago connections...lol

Oswald acted alone, he was the lone gunman. Whether or not he was influenced by the Russians/Cubans or some other communist organization is definitely debatable, but in the end will never be proven. Unfortunately Ruby robbed the world of ever having a chance of knowing the truth on this issue. One thing is for sure, Oswald was a crackpot and no evidence whatsoever points to anyone else shooting the president.

Ruby also acted alone, and even admitted so on his deathbed. He simply wanted to be the guy that killed the guy that killed the president, and foolishly thought this would make him a hero in Americas eyes. Chicago had nothing to do with it.

Couple things I've thought for a while now. The Warren commission was a failure. A new attempt to discover the truth should be made utilizing today's technology but most of the "players" are likely long dead and the money it would take to open it all up again could be spent in many more worthwhile ways.

I believe Lee Oswald did not act alone and that's why I think he was not the lone gunman.
Why leave such a momentous effort to one man, considering the distance involved in the shooting, the moving target etc?

Ruby may well have acted alone but he was no saint from what I've heard. If Oswald was "meant" to be caught, then getting rid of him would certainly make sense.
