Where where you when JFK Died? - Page 10

greg63 · 06:52 AM

On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he was the youngest to die....

Just wanted to post in memory of JFK.

I was only three months old when JFK was shot, but I've always found the stories people tell about where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news interesting.

In some mall in KC in a stroller as 1 1/2yr old when my parents were going by a television store where they saw the reports.

So has anyone been to the book depository since I asked the last time-lol

Communication has come a long way since then, and I am not sure it is completely for the better.

Now almost everyone in the class would have known instantly due to their phones.

My wife and went through the depository a couple of years ago. Fascinating tour. I really appreciated the headphones that allow you to have a guided tour at your own pace too. I have recommended it to many people since then.

I've been to where JFK was shot. NO WAY did it happen like they said. It's physically impossible.

Now, when you stand where the grassy knoll is, behind the fence... you see the perfect kill zone.

Here's a vine I took there.

greg63 · 11-22-2013, 11:06 AM

I have never believed it was the actions of a lone gunman.

That's just the start of it. If you are on the 6th floor looking down, the BEST shot to take is before the cars turn onto Elm, not after. Why wait until after the turn to take a shot unless you were trying to get the best triangulation. Yes, that's triangulation as in 3 gunmen. There is ballistic evidence that places another gunman on the County Records building too. The guy behind the fence was the guy to ensure that JFK was killed.

Of course it didn't happen how the Warren Report said, when was the last time you saw a bullet that can turn around the corner on it's own?

Looking at map and with a deer rifle, that is pretty easy shot from the Book Depository.

Yeah but they tried to use the "Magic Bullet Theory" in the report.

It's actually a very easy shot and has been done many times in simulations and re-creations at the site. And Oswald was no amateur. He was a Marine who had all the required shooting abilities.
