It is gonna be on from 7-9 [CST] then a show about Joseph Kennedy from 9-11 and from 11-1a they will repeat.

Im sure some of you will dig this. I dont know what it proves...single bullet wise, but It should be entertaining.

tivo it for later.

Thanks for the heads-up (pun intended). Gonna PVR it.

There's no doubt in my mind that the fatal head shot came from the front.

Saw a special on ABC a couple of years ago. Convinced me of the one gunman theory whereas I was before in the conspiracy theory mindset.

It showed how the single bullet wasn't really magic. The govenor was sitting to the left and lower than the president. Made a straight line right back to the school book depository.

No way that cheesed*ck got off, what was it, four aimed shots in seven seconds.

I recall on 60 minutes or a show similar to it, they set up a simulated moving model target scenarilal and had a sharp shooter do it in 6-8 seconds and repeated acurately twice in 5 tries. Then when they added in the adrenilin factor, it easily convinced me that one gunman could have pulled it off.

Nope, no way he got off four shots. Oswald's marine marksmanship scores would show him to be a barely acceptable shot. Taking essentially the same tests with a far superior weapon (M-16), I scored like 8 points higher. I've seen that window, and seen the mock-up, and I doubt I could've hit it even WITHOUT having a bolt-action single shot rifle.

yeah, i thought i read somewhere that marine and/or fbi sharpshooters tried but couldn't fire that weapon (or one like it) that many times in seven seconds (or whatever it was), let alone aim and hit a moving target while doing it...

What adrenaline factor? They had him shoot at a President of the United States?

he was a certified marksman by the marines, Showed his score cards. 50/50 at the distance of the shot.

Brought in a person who had never fired a weapon and they were able to get the shots off in the time allowed after 30 mintues of training.

**Donger** · 11-20-2004, 06:17 PM

And, anyone that looks at the fatal headshot (where his head moves back and left) and concludes that that shot came from the front needs a chat with Newton.

Sure. Got them off. How many hits on a moving target?

**BigRedChief** · 11-20-2004, 06:20 PM

Guys as I said I was firmly in the conspiracy thinking camp. You need to see it for yourselfs. It was very convincing. They had a physical reason the head snapped back.

It was refering to the adrenaline factor of Oswald and time, he would have been maxed out.

With the added help of computer generation, I'm sure we'll find out it was really a Haliburton conspiracy.

If an automatic rifle would have been used, there wouldn't have been any question. Oswald was part of a political conspiracy and whoever they were would not have used him if he couldnt prove that he could pull it off.
