A poor shot?
A poor shot?

For some shooting tests he sucked and for some tests he was above expert. So it kind of depends.
Oswald was trained as a marksman in the U.S. Marine Corps, scoring well on rifle tests, including hitting above-expert-level performance in certain individual tests (e.g., rapid fire at 200 and 300 yards), but his overall scores never reached the expert category because he scored poorly on some other tests, so overall he was sometimes rated as a sharpshooter and later only as a marksman, but there were some tests he was above expert on. So it all depends on what kind of shot heād be taking as to whether he was a good shot or poor shot.
Though he did fail to accurately hit retired U.S. Army Major General Edwin Walker and hit the window frame instead. But there is debate on how far away he was and even at his expert distances he still missed sometimes. On one test he was at least sometimes above expert level on, he is recorded to have scored 8 out of 10 hits on it sometimes. This would also line up with the official conclusion that only 2 out of 3 shots hit (first one missed the car entirely and hit the curb).
Overall I would say that statement is pretty in line with most known facts already.
Honestly, I bet the majority of the info in the files is already known other than some personal identifying information and some names, etc.
This topic reminds me, I never watched Stephen Kingās 11/22/63, but I should go watch that. I did read the book though. Has anyone else seen the series or read the book? Does The series follow the book closely?

Whereās yourā¦
ā¦for that? 
I havenāt, and his books and othersā film adaptations of his work have been hit-or-miss with me. I remembered really enjoying reading The Tommyknockers but then being totally disappointed by the miniseries. Both the book and movie for Hearts in Atlantis were underwhelming, but then both Misery and its movie were really good, even if the stories differed quite a bit. I finally got around to reading The Shining last year, because I like Kubrick and wanted to see the movie. It had been hyped so much that I thought it was comical and not scary at all, and the end made me bust up laughing, because I realized that South Park had parodied it in āA Nightmare on FaceTimeā.

That was a great book. I also watched the series on Hulu. Great story with all sorts of time aspects. It mostly deals with the main subject, but there is a lot of setup and āresolutionā.
You donāt know till you read. It is a fair assumption but you shouldnāt poo poo the story just yet.
Itās also been a mystery as what was said. It was reported that Castro said it could not have been one gunman.
I was in the first grade when the event occurred.
I visited Dallas on vacation. Dealy Plaza is a lot smaller than it looks on TV. I stood on the grassy knoll but unfortunately the museum was being updated and closed. The shooterās window was open as it was on that fateful day.
I saw the limo in the Ford Museum in Detroit. The bubble top was on and it was cleaned up.
The Ford Museum also had the blood-stained chair Lincoln was shot in as he watched the play. I also visited Fordās Theater in DC. Just another interesting story of our American history.

I wanted to download all PDFs and have CoPilot summarize but I am not sure AI can read the different shades on gray of type and handwriting.
I am sure I can pull the text out of the PDF using OneNote but that is a lot of cut-and-paste.
It follows along with the Warren Commissionās conclusion but there is much more to the setup and resolution of the story. You do know it is a time-travel story, right? It starts out with delicious hamburgers.

Nope! Didnāt really care enough to learn about it, because some of his stuff has really bored me. The last really good time travel thing I enjoyed was The Man in the High Castle, which I read before watching the series on Prime Video. The novella was decent. The TV series went way out from that (understandable because they had to create a lot more story in order to fill a series) and got a little repetitive and times and focused on a character that I didnāt really like, but parts of it were really good, and Rufus Sewellās performance was outstanding!
Thatās reason enough for me to give it a look! Thanks!

To each his own.
I really got hooked when I read āThe Standā. I am not much of a reader, but I was stuck in Puerto Rico for 30 days on a detachment. Read the large book once. Saw the series and heard the audio books many times.
As soon as I finished reading āChristineā on detachment to Miramarās Top Gun, I walked to see the movie in a theater (San Diego).
Stephen King himself is a bit nutty but I liked a few of his books. āThinnerā was good as well.
Just FYI. It is not a documentary. It is about going back in time to save JFK and changing history.
I really enjoyed some of his books, but they can be hit-or-miss with me. I think the first one I read was Pet Sematary, which was what got me hooked for a while. His On Writing (nonfiction) was an interesting read until I got to his recommended book list and saw some questionable choices there, but itās all subjective. 
I wouldnāt expect it to be. Might give 'er a gander sometime.

Look for the codeword āpound cakeā. It has nothing to do with JFK.
Delicious hamburgers and pound cake?! So afterward Iād need to read Thinner?

Have you checked your Windows computer to see if Copilot is still there? A Microsoft update was deleting Copilot, but you can still redownload it.

I use CoPilot through Chrome. I didnāt like it installed without asking me and removed it myself. Also use Grok 3 through browser.

I think recognizing and acknowledging that is a sign of maturity and an important step in personal growth, one that many seem to have missed.

They must be pretty old. I thought I might try calling the phone numbers to see who is still here. Lots of names, addresses and phone numbers.

Yeah, heās really hit or miss. Heās always really creative, but some of his stuff doesnāt flow in ways I enjoy.
I did like his JFK novel more than I expectedā¦I really expected to be bored and annoyed, but too many people told me it was amazing, so I gave in. It was REALLY long though.
I remember really liking that book when I read it in the 90ās.
Thatās actually one I havenāt seen (or read) yet.
I havenāt even heard of that one. Iām sure I have it though. I have basically every Stephen King audiobook. Though Iāve only gotten through a handful.
Sure, everyone is a bit nutty, and some of us are even more than a little bit nutty. 
That sort of thing doesnāt usually factor into my reading or movie choices though. Iām not really into the fad of boycotting everything about someone for something totally unrelated to the thing I would otherwise enjoy just to try to hurt them. I learned a lesson about this a long time ago and now I choose to be a different kind of person.
Multimodal LLMās usually can. I do it a lot. I imported basically ALL personal and school/educational PDFs Iāve ever saved into Googleās Notebook LM so I can ask it questions about my documents. I thought about doing the same thing with these JFK files but there are too many. I think it limits me to 500,000 words per source and only 300 sources/files per āNotebookāā¦so Iād have to create at least 80 separate Notebooks just to have it analyze all the JFK files. Itād be better to install my own local LLM and then load the entire 80,000 pages into that. I might do that, though Iām sure someone else has already done so and will report everything Iād find anyway.
