You history buffs will know better than me, but haven't most, if not nearly all assassins or would-be assassins been loners? Hinkley and Squeaky Fromme come to mind in recent time.
I realize it doesn't necessarily follow Oswald was a loner, but I can't envision HIM as being stable enough to conspire to steal pencils from a librarian. He seems more along the lines of Hinkley and Fromme.
True for the most part. The only major American assassin I can think of who was part of a much larger plot was John Wilkes Booth.
And even that isn't conclusive, although there were many documented plots to kill Lincoln by certain groups.
