JFK's fatal head wound: The truth for those who want to know (very graphic)

The Zapruder film proves itself to be authentic. There is no possibility that any frames could have been cut out of the film or altered. Why/how? Every time a frame was exposed, part of the background scene was exposed onto both the next frame and the previous frame in the sprocket hole areas. This is because the sproket holes are between frames, as shown below:

The head wound:

The large flap of skull, skin and other tissue blown out above and just in front of the president’s right ear. The flap stayed attached and hung over the president's right cheek. On the ride to Parkland, Mrs. Kennedy attempted to put it back in place. What the doctors saw at Parkland was the wound partially closed with the shattered pieces at the top rear of the wound missing. Hence, some doctors recalled a wound in that area:

There are some incredibly graphic autopsy photos. Huge wound, lots of blood in the matted hair and brain matter hanging out of the skull. Sorry to be so explicit....

Jackie climbed onto the trunk to retrieve a bit of skull.

And that piece of skull was found in the street by a medical student. I've read most of the testimony in the Warren Commission. The conspiracy theories drive me nuts. It's like the OJ jury. So much evidence but people turn away from it. I don't get it!

Pinging you to the Zapruder film.

Oswald was the shooter in my view.

The intrigue surrounding he and Ruby will never be resolved.

Kennedy had some serious foes and they were angry no doubt but that doesn't prove anything. It does though take a bit of acceptance to believe that Oswald and Ruby both acted completely on their own although it is possible.

Kennedy himself is a mixed bag. Very flawed character but did show mettle at times. Funny that he is the liberals darling when in reality he was much more conservative by our standards and has little in common with his bloated Falstaff brother. Had Kennedy survived it is not a foregone conclusion he would have been reelected and may have gone down as young but more than a bit inept. All his personal shenanigans are pretty hard to fathom....very serious poor judgement.

His prevailing over Addisons and all those complications is remarkable though, treatment for endocrinological disorders back then was pretty primitive.

Krushchev thought him a chump and was mostly right.

I believe there were brains most everywhere all over the car because he was shot in the head by one or more bullets.

This is an easy case made worse by whackos who can't handle ordinary truth. They have to make their own lives more exciting so they can vicariously get a thrill from it.

Oswald shot three times from the School book depository, killed Kennedy and wounded Connelly

Look at the Zapruder photos. It is as plain as the nose on your face. My God, grow up.

As my mother would say, "Ish!"

[Wolfstar]

Here is one (I've had trouble finding them on the 'net). You can see the deformation of the skull along the hairline on the right.

As I said, Mrs. Kennedy put the large flap of skull and skin back in place as best she could on the ride to Parkland. The doctors there saw him in that condition — in fact, approximately in the condition shown in the above photo. They were also both in shock and trying to save the man's life, although it was futile. Once the president was pronounced dead, all examination stopped. So it is understandable that what they saw was the missing area of skull at the left-most — meaning rear-most — portion of the wound. By the way, the throat wound was a small exit wound. The doctors enlarged it when they did a tracheotomy.

"There are some incredibly graphic autopsy photos. Huge wound, lots of blood in the matted hair and brain matter hanging out of the skull."

I saw the autopsy photo that showed the right side of the head as a large "flap" folded over to cover the wound. Very wet and messy. I never saw a photo that had the "flap" folded down exposing the brain - it was obvious to me that massive damage had been done and that the entry was from the back. I'm not a Dr. but I have studied physics.

[Az Joe]

These people are certifiable and you cannot ever change their minds. They have to have it be a conspiracy so they can have something to do with the limited amount of gray matter between their ears.

[Ex-Dem]

And the brains were on the back of the car because..........

Physics? Note the applesauce sprayed backwards.

[OldFriend]

When you consider that Arlen Specter was involved in creating the magic bullet theory it's not too hard to be suspicious.

[martian_22]

I would have to agree with you 100%.

BTW, was anyone else in the limo injured? If so, how?

[waRNmother.armyboots]

You know you do not have to engage in personal attacks. I am asking a simple question. I looked at the film and I stated that I see what is being said. All I am asking is how do you think that 12 physicians several of which were neurosurgeons and all who gave sworn testimony that the entrance wound was in the front. Maybe there were just being too rushed by it all and their memory is impaired. Just think it is interesting.

[Vigilantcitizen]

In the wax replica above, is that rod coming through the head supposed to represent the path of the projectile?

[Wolfstar]

whackos who can't handle ordinary truth

So true. Even when the truth is staring them in the face, they argue with it. Sigh.

[Steely Tom]

And the brains were on the back of the car because..........

Because of the wind? Judging from the stills, pieces of tissue flew way up, into the relatively still air above the top edge of the windshield. These would have been blown back (try tossing something light and small upward the next time you in a moving convertable; make sure you don't need to get it back).

Simple as that.

Oswald shot three times from the School book depository, killed Kennedy and wounded Connelly

Oswald was seen by a police officer "calmly" having lunch on the second floor of the depository approximately 90 seconds after the shots. After his arrest Oswald said several times in answer to questions shouted by reporters, "I didn't shoot anybody."

Not for the squeamish
