For me, the photo (not certain if there was a moving video) of the thug shoving a nasty weapon in Elian Gonzales’ face was life changing and I realized America was gone. I vomited. I will never forget that.

With slow mo, Jackie seems to be reacting to something before Kennedy’s head is shot.

There was the ‘Nix’ film of the same event, but there was another film that was unknown until decades later......................

I think you might be referring to to the rumored filmed that was being taken to LA for “auction” back in November of 2013....I don’t think anything ever came of that at all

The Patterson Bigfoot Footage has to be near the top.

Think about the skill / luck of that shot. At some distance.

I don’t doubt that LHO did the shooting by himself. I’m just saying that’s some hellacious marksmanship on a moving target at distance.

Back and to the left.....back and to the left....

Exactly as it should have from the propulsion of the exit wound.

Some skill and luck were involved, but the distance isn't as far as it appears in the film. When I visited the museum in the Schoolbook Depository building and looked down at the "X" painted in the street below, it changed my perception of the event greatly.

The distance is marginal and Oswald was trained to shoot in the Marine Corps. He also missed the first shot completely.

one of the most tragic events of modern American history.

The only thing tragic about it is that it allowed Lyndon Johnson to win the Presidential election. He then set us on the road to financial ruin with his "Great Society" vote bribing scheme.

Kennedy deserved far worse than he got for leaving those Cubans to die on the beaches in the Bay of Pigs disaster. A disaster he caused by not telling those brave Cuban freedom fighters that the United States would not use it's Air force and Naval assets to suppress Castro's forces, even though they told them they would.

Kennedy's government deliberately lied to those men, and destroyed any chance they had of winning even before they left.

It is as a result of this failed invasion that Castro demanded Soviet Nuclear rockets be placed in Cuba to deter future aggression.

We never would have had the Cuban Missile crises if it were not for that incompetent Amateur stealing the election from Nixon.

No, Kennedy deserved a lot worse than what happened to him. Thousands suffered and died because he wasn't man enough to pull the trigger on Castro. Millions might have died if things had gone slightly differently.

But we still don’t know what really happened.

I know to the extent that I care to know. One left wing crack pot shot Kennedy on his third attempt. Conspiracy kooks have been going on about it ever since.

I've seen it. I immediately realized the shot was far easier than the conspiracy kooks make it out to be.

The road slopes downward at almost the same angle as the position from the book depository. You wouldn't even have to track very much in the vertical direction. The slope of the road aids greatly in keeping the target lined up in the sights.

The WTC 9/11 films had a greater impact on me, personally.

“But we still don’t know what really happened.”

And THAT tells us what happened. And for extra fun, bear in mind the Zapruder film was locked away for several years. It wasn’t shown on TV until 1975.
