CitizenX, Can we say "exactly" what the motivation was for John Hinckle, John Wilkes Booth, Leon Czolgosz, Charles Guiteau, Squeaky Fromme, and countless other assassines and would-be assassines throughout history? How exacting do I need to be? Certainly there is a historical pattern of unstable people taking unstable actions with little regard for their own safety. Oswald's actions are hardly abnormal among abnormal people. Just look at the news today. Can you say "exactly" what the motivations are for every person who walks into a school, theater, house of worship, or office and opens fire on everyone? Crazy people do crazy things that make sesne to them. Was Lee Oswald the type of person who would do something crazy, like shooting the President to get attention? His only brother, Robert, thought so. His wife, Marina, thought so. These are the two people who knew him best. Only his mother, Marguerite, refused to accept the truth, and she was a special kind of crazy to be sure. Check her out in my documentary, Conspiracy Theorlsits Lie: https://goo.gl/G7PguS You can try to paint Oswald as a young and happy family man who had no reason to throw that all way by murdering the President, but that's just not so. Oswald was a frustrated loser, who took out his frustrations on his wife, by beating her. She left him, more than once, and she was seprated from him at the time of the assassination. Lee would come visit Marina on the weekends, but never durning the week. Suddenly, on Thursday, Nov 21, he showed up unannounced, and beggered her to take him back; promising that things would be better this time. She let him stay the night but refused to reconsile. The next morning, without saying anything to her, Lee left his wedding ring and most of the money he had on her dresser, before leaving. On his way out, he stopped by the garage and when he went to the neighbor's house, the man who drove him to work, Lee had a packed big enough to be a disassumbled rifle. He said it was, "Curtain rods." Later, Lee told the police that his coworker was lying, and that he did not have any package with him at all. Does any of this sound like the actions of an innocent man?

What was Oswald's motive exactly to embark on what would be clearly a suicide mission? His second child had been born a mear month before this and he also had turned 24 years old less than a month before his death-by-murder.
