Oswald's mother.

I've seen 100 different variations of this movie in the forms of documentaries, movies, etc etc.
I'd never really heard the story of his mother before though.
If that is how she was, I'm a bit surprised she wasn't snuffed out by the CIA/FBI/SS/Dallas police/a normal citizen.
Pretty much the same as thing that happened to Oswald.
I've seen so many conspiracy theories on the subject it's unreal. The most convincing one was his connection to mother Russia.
Now I'm not sure if his mother was an insane bitch, or just a bitch, but she certainly wasn't right in the head was she?

She was certifiable. What I found interesting is that she was so overwhelmingly supportive of him and he couldn't stand her. As a matter of fact, she had bought a stroller for the oldest daughter when she was a baby and Lee refused to let Marina accept the gift. Also, she hadn't seen the second child until she went to the jail to see Lee after he was arrested. When she went in to see him at the jail, he had the guards remove her, stating "I don't want to see that fool."

Really? I guess I've seen variations that didn't delve too deeply into the mothers role. But I watched another one the other day, with the actual footage of her, and she was bat crap crazy! I'm so surprised that she wasn't assassinated, especially as she got to say her piece on national television.
One crazy bitch.

I still think that it was something to do with his Russian past. He was a commie alright, perhaps he was trying to spark WWIII? Who knows?

I saw a doc on the weapon and ammo he used, and it was an $18 rifle! That's like £10! You couldn't even buy a BB gun for that in the UK.
Then that ammo, long cylindrical rounds that fire dead straight.

If you can, watch Killing Kennedy. It goes more into detail of Oswald. I have been a Kennedy conspiracy theorist since I was in the third grade. I have pulled every declassified file I could find and watched every documentary I could find. We may never know the truth of what happened and that makes me sad.

The truth, as all evidence proves, is one gunman - Lee Oswald. He was a nobody that wanted to be notorious.

I agree with this. What I've seen leads to my belief that Oswald acted alone. He was too much of a wild card to be part of a conspiracy.

One thing I had never thought about until watching this movie and hearing oswalds mom say it, Oswald had every right to be buried in Arlington. Any service man or women who has been honorably discharged from the armed force can be buried in arlington
