"I think the suspicious stuff about the JFK assassination is not the shot itself, but..." ...who ordered the murder. Shooter is the least important factor considering how many enemies JFK had in the establishment. It is too easy to blackmail someone in performing the murder. Especially if you have friends in the CIA.

The hit was ordered by Sam Giancana, the Chicago mafia boss. Jack Ruby was his lackey. From wikipedia: Ruby was known to have been acquainted with both the police and the Mafia. The HSCA said that Ruby had known Chicago mobster Sam Giancana (1908–1975) and Joseph Campisi (1918–1990) since 1947, and had been seen with them on many occasions.

  It's so good that you mentioned him, because this is from the first article of the top of Google's search: "In July 1974, however, he was seized by police in Mexico City and shipped back to Chicago. One year later he was bullet-riddled in his home in Oak Park, Ill., by unknown assailants. He had been scheduled to appear before the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee to discuss his alleged involvement in a Central Intelligence Agency plot to assassinate Fidel Castro in the early 1960s."

Meaning, CIA could have been involved, too. And they conveniently offed him to prevent him to talk. Such class.

  Ruby's mob associations are probably exactly normal for someone in his line of work, but also they tell us they he wasn't committed to the rule of law. That's consistent with his statement about saving Jackie from a trial - he thought retribution was owed, not justice.

Why should JFK have enemies in the establishment? He was the establishment.
