Bullcrap! Last summer, I spent the greater part of a day at Dealey Plaza exploring the assassination site. There are no multiple angles and the Zapruder film only presents a two-dimensional view of the assassination. The area is quite small and Oswald was shooting almost straight down into Kennedy's limo as it drove along the CURVED street. Almost anyone could have made those shots---Oswald's first one only missed because it glanced off a tree branch in his line of sight.

As far as Kennedy's head snapping back, when you watch a cleaned-up version of the Zapruder film, you can see the bullet clearly striking him in the back of it but not cleanly, since the limo was rounding a curve. His head very quickly snapped forward and then back, which is what most people see.

Watch it here, especially in slow motion:

Hi quality footage of JFK Assassination

You are assuming that the first shot was fired as the limo was rounding the street onto Elm? That is pretty early, no?

Former Jarhead here- so same training and a lifelong shooter. I went there in 2003 and did the same thing, after years of reading about what an impossibly technical shot it was that trained marksmen couldn't replicate, etc etc.

I was surprised that, once standing in the window (next to it, actually) it was a lot easier a shot that I'd been led to believe.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a lot of funny business surrounding the events of that day, which I won't render an opinion on, but the shot wasn't as tough as it seems often made out to be, IMO.

I am not going to try and get through your brainwashing. Anyone who cannot see that he was obviously hit from the rear and then the front is blind as a bat. Sorry....just is a fact.
