It's not difficult at all to hit a target from that distance. But
that's not what Oswald is alleged to have done.
Far more qualified shooter who WERE trying couldn't duplicate Oswald's
alleged shooting.
Despite their many advantages quite dishonestly given them.

You're lying again, Puddy. You're *assuming* that the assassin missed
their first shot, then claiming that the standard to "outshoot"
someone is making that first shot.
And since they were allowed all the time they wanted for that first
shot, they had an advantage not allowed to the assassin.
You lose again.

A rather dumb question...
Implying, as it does, something totally irrelevant.

Lets say an assassin struck the head, and the "neck" of a person, and
three FAR HIGHER QUALIFIED shooters couldn't do that.

Repeatedly stated.
Either refute the facts, or live with them.

Dead silence.
You'd think if believers could refute this, THEY'D ABSOLUTELY NEED TO

Puddles did indeed try... and Chuckles did indeed run, refusing to
address a single topic.
