Doesnt' a good portion of his face get ripped off from that second shot?

If so, wouldn't that indicate exit wound rather than entry?

I will admit, if that second shot did come from behind, it's quite perplexing why his head didn't snap forward. I didn't hear the explanation on the show.

Actually, they did find this guy that was taking pictures from the knoll, something about he was in some branch of the military,(can't remember which) and was to leave the next day for Alaska IRRC. He had quite an interesting story to tell about the events leading up to and immediately following the incident. FWIW

Correct. He'd just gone through basic. He swore that a round went over his right shoulder, IIRC.

Yes.

However, take a look at the way, for lack of a better word, the pieces of his head travel after impact.

They don't travel forward.

Yeah, IRRC, they had a picture, I'm guessing from the Zapruder film (but not sure) and they enhanced it.

Showed some guy wearing a cops uniform firing a rifle and the muzzle blast was going over one of his shoulders.I watched this on the History Channel about 4-5 years ago.

I've also heard about the guy in the sewer drain. He would have been like 30 ft. away and down and to the left of the president,full frontal shot....but I don't really know about this.

Yes, that's right. Jackie went back onto the trunk of the limo to retrieve a piece of Kennedy's brain.

I never quite understood that. Seriously. You have two occupants in your car that have been shot and what do you do? You make yourself an even easier target by crawling out into the open.

I would think I would crouch down between the seats and give me some sort of cover from the gunfire. Instinctively, this is what people do in danger- that's why I never understood how she could just crawl out of the car and make herself a much easier target herself.

And don't tell me she knew the President had been shot and that she knew she wasn't a target- all rationale goes out the window in 6 seconds when 3 ta 4 bullets are flying into your open vehicle.

I think you answered your own question. It was fast and she didn't know what was going on. All she knows is a piece of her husband is on the back of the car. All logic for her safety and what's going on are out the window and goes to pick up the chunk of Jack's head.

That's my interpretation anyway.

Here's something I've never understood----

Why has the government sealed this case for so many years before it's to be opened? By that action alone it implicates that the government knows the who, what, why, and how, and they don't want anyone to know what they know.

Why do you think that is?

what is a bit crazy, is that there is gunfire, and the car driver SLOWS down, it seems to me, if they are firing at my car... Im gonna speed the fock up.

Too many circumstances around this thing, also factor in the people they chose to be on the Warren commission, and this whole ordeal smells of rotten fish.

It is important to note that the initial movement of the head and the blood spray are clearly forward (compare Zapruder frames 312 and 313). There is absolutely no physical way to explain frame 313 as a result of a headshot coming from the front. Only in later frames does the head move backward.

The website below demonstrates using the laws of physics that the initial movement of the head forward and forward blood spray observed in frame 313, and the later rearward lurch of JFK, can all be explained from a single shot from the rear.

Many of those who still support a conspiracy theory have taken to attacking the authenticity of the Zapruder film itself. While I was a conspiracy buff for over 10 years, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the most plausible explanation is that Oswald acted alone.

We're Chief fans... Not Rocket Scientist's. That page made my head hurt just scrolling down. Not too mention reading it (Which I didn't).

If it came down to believeing the lone gunman theory or reading that article to prove my conspiracy believing theory wrong... I'm afraid Oswald DID do it.

~ I'll wait until 2036 when they open the files (If I make it that long)... Maybe then I'll have more time to read.

That is pretty much my point. Unless you are a rocket scientist, and want to dig through details like those provided in that web page, you really don't have much business arguing that the movement of the head is a physical impossibility. Maybe Donger will point out where this guy's analysis is wrong.

Here is a link that has some interesting video clips (no math). Scroll down to Back, and to the Left. Back, and to the Left. Back, and to the Left.

Look at the videos where they shoot the melons and the skulls. They both move in the direction from which the gunshot came. There is also a snuff film of a goat.

I really don't think you're getting it. That site is overkill and requires too much understanding and decyphering for a casual "sabbath" Sunday evening.

~ I'll take your word for it.

How can you pass up a snuff film of a goat?
