early 1989, I was working as a business reporter in Washington, D.C., and interviewing a private investigator for a story about his company. At the end of our conversation, he casually mentioned he’d done some research into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
“Oh yeah?” I said, in an ironic, indifferent way. “So who killed him?” He said: “Well, I think this gunsmith in Baltimore, a guy named Howard Donahue, figured it out.” The private eye showed me a magazine article from 1977 and as I read it, my skepticism began to fade. Within a week, I was heading to nearby Towson, Maryland, to meet Donahue in person.
Donahue’s Dealey Plaza odyssey began 21 years earlier. The World War II veteran was a firearms specialist who’d testified as an expert witness in multiple shooting cases. He was also a well-known marksman. That’s why he’d been recruited to take part in a CBS News reenactment of the shooting in the spring of 1967.
The network wanted to know if Lee Harvey Oswald’s Italian military-surplus, bolt-action rifle really could have been fired three times with two hits on a moving target in less than six seconds. Donahue proved that it could. Of the 11 shooters participating in the experiment, only Donahue exceeded Oswald’s performance by scoring three hits in 4.8 seconds, well under the 5.6-second maximum....

Your point is valid in that once the proper seat arrangement is analyzed, then the trajectory does line up. Thus the bullet is no longer a "magic bullet".
OK, so what's your point?
This is a fascinating article. Thanks for posting.
Thank YOU for taking the time to read it.........It is fascinating
That must have been Arlen Spectre's "magic bullet" that did that.
If you have ever stood in the 6th floor window you would realize how easy a shot it was. Hell, I could have thrown a rock and hit JFK. A pistol could have made the shot.
Nobody's disputing Oswald made the shot and if you had read the entire article you would have understood that.........
It’s seems to be a stretch because the camera gives the perception that the area is larger than it really is.
Isn’t that why one’s finger should not be on the trigger before the target is acquired? Even for SS??
// Hickey reaches for the AR-15 under the seat, releases the safety and begins to lift the gun. The second shot is fired by Oswald, hitting the president and Texas Governor John Connally. The president’s car and the follow-up car containing Hickey suddenly speed up. This is attested to by Secret Service agent Clint Hill. Agent Hickey, who is unstable because he is standing on the cushion of the seat, rather than the floor of the car, begins to fall back due to the acceleration of the vehicle, pulling the trigger of the AR-15. The gun is pointed toward Kennedy at that instant, and the bullet strikes him squarely in the back of the head. //
[Conjecture; movement of his finger onto trigger may also have been due to sudden movement of car & his loss of balance.]
Three things that don’t hang themselves:
1) Christmas ornaments
2) Drywall
3) Jeffrey Epstein
If you had read my comment, I was commenting on your statement that Oswald wasn’t likely to have made his shots.
Yes. It’s the one theory that makes perfect sense. Even if it was a freak accident.
“JFK didn’t kill himself.”
If this happened today and JFK had dirt on the Clintons, it would be reported as a suicide.
But there WAS a big hole. In the BACK of JFK’S head. According to the person from the Dallas funeral home employ who was tasked with covering the ENTRANCE ( small) wound and the back of the skull wound that he stated was as big as a fist. If Mewsmax ever shows The Men Who Killed Again, it would be well worth watching
Nobody wants to believe it but it is the only thing that makes sense.
Mrs. Epstein sent a note to Mr. Kotter to that affect.
