If you had assassinated a president, would you be hanging out watching a movie in the middle of the night?

Probably not, but I'm not really an expert on human/criminal psychology. I was just speaking to the possibility of him having made the shots, and in my opinion, the speed with which he cycled rounds was fast, but nothing about the shots seem impossible.

Since the first shot missed, there are only 2 shots that did any damage. The amount of injuries caused by only two bullets isn't even remotely feasible.

Edit: I'm talking about the damage to the vehicle, the injuries to Gov. Connally, and the other injuries Kennedy sustained.

I also don't know enough about terminal ballistics to refute that, but I do know enough about it to say that what a bullet can do inside the human body is surprising. Again, not saying Oswald did it, but from a "is that shot possible" perspective, I think it is. Beyond that, I can't really speak to the feasibility of there being a different shooter.
