A 2003 episode of Court TV’s “Forensic Files” explains how the so called “Magic Bullet” actually did cause the first wound to Pres. Kennedy and to Gov. Connally. First, a company digitally mapped all of Dealy Plaza, a technique that was not available at the time of the initial investigation. Then, they created a replica of the limo and placed 2 men, roughly the same size and weight of the Pres. and Gov. and used the Zapruder film to position them correctly.

One of the interesting points made was that Gov. Connally was sitting lower than the Pres. as he was in a smaller jump seat. This finding points out that the bullet did NOT have to turn in midair to strike both men.

The next point was that after the first shot missed, Gov Connally began to turn around. The second shot struck the Pres. in the back and exited through his throat. It then tumbled, (a common occurrence in the shooting of long rounds) and struck the Gov. in the back, creating an oblong wound. The bullet slowed a bit, changing trajectory, traveled through the GOV’s arm, broke a bone in his wrist, traveled through his thigh, exited and was recovered

In addition, fragments recovered from the Gov. and the round itself were tested in a nuclear reactor and there was a match.

I was extremely skeptical of the “Magic Bullet” until I saw this documentary. I’m still skeptical of whether or not Oswald acted alone, but the “ Magic Bullet” theory was proven to be factual.

Yep. I have no problem with the magic bullet. I can accept that one. But the film clearly depicts the fatal headshot coming from the front. You can see his head moving back from the force of it. So it appears to be Oswald plus someone else on the grassy knoll based on the film.

Since you don’t know anything about rifles, it’s probably easy for you to disbelieve the truth. Yet, there are people who do know a thing about rifles and understand what happened.
There are also others who don’t believe the nonsense from the liberal media and simply prove it for themselves. And then they post it on YouTube at twice the distance and no scope:

Actually the truth of the assassination was revealed in a British sci-fi spoof called Red Dwarf. Kennedy (from a different time line) killed himself from the grassy knoll.

Also, I'm a former Marine who qualified expert at the range and Oswald could have easily made the shot.
Semper Fi and I agree. In fact the clock doesn't start until the first round is fired, so technically he only had to get off two shots in 6 seconds.

Wrong and wrong and wrong.

The grassy knoll isn’t in front of the limo.
The grassy knoll is where Zapruder was standing and the spray flies toward the front from the rear shot.
The impact of the bullet drove Kennedy’s head 2.3 inches toward the front. Only later did he react to the shot and move toward the rear.
The bullet fragments cracked the windshield and dented the windshield frame. Both pieces were found near the driver.

But then again, you were watching Oliver Stone’s movie and not the Zapruder film.

You are absolutely wrong in your assertion that I know nothing about rifles. Your credibility to me is non existent toast regardless of your name.
Happy Turkey day.

“Don’t forget the photograph of two very shabbily looking men.
Bums perhaps. But many people believe one was E. Howard Hunt and the other (I forget who)were later involved with Watergate.”

I read years ago that one of the “bums” was Harrelson. He’s still in jail somewhere in the SW? Yup, he’s related.

You ENJOY the fact that JFK was assassinated? That is disturbing.

Kennedy tried to have Castro whacked. In retaliation Castro tried to have Kennedy whacked.

Kennedy failed. Castro succeeded.

The proof will be in the Cuban secret police files when Communism in Cuba falls.

mcadams is a disinformation site that attempts to refute anything not certified by the warren commission, check it out a little further

***The evidence of a fourth shot came from a motorcycle cops open mike. It was later refuted. Check out this site.

Kennedy's head moving 2.3 inches toward the front on impact. Notice the spray also going toward the front from the rearward shot.

Oswald did it. Deal with it!

My point exactly ... your point about liberals unable to accept the fact a mouse like Oswald (who in many respects was one of them) could kill such an esteemed member of their ranks is a good one.
One other point the conspiracy cool-aid drinkers can't explain away ... the weapon Oswald used to assassinate Kennedy was found hidden in the Book Depository (shortly after the shooting) with Oswald's prints on it, the weapon had been recently fired, and the ballistics matched.

When someone admits they believe one plus one equals five, I believe they know nothing about arithmatic.

Just curious, isn’t it the truth that the rifle claimed to have hit JFK had a defective scope?

You need to show more frames before and after. My recollection is his head distinctly moves backwards after the head shot. Could be a few frames after what you depicted. Not sure.

I always believed Castro was involved. Commie files? Not sure about that. Could have been handled verbally. So we may never know.
