Yes and he could have zigged straight into a bullet as well, a lot of guys die in war not from avoiding bullets, or from ones aimed at them, but by going into the path of one.
If Hitler had done that then WW2 wouldn't have happened, thats just too big a world altering event to lay down at the mercy of chance.
Why, because it would be too disturbing to believe we have no more control than that? It's impossible that some jerk like Oswald could have shot Kennedy on his own, because the world can't be that unpredictable? Why is fate a more appropriate historical determinant? What attribute does it have over chance?


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
