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....

It is very plausible isn't it? I'm glad someone read the article.....
I've read several books about the assassination, but had not heard of the bullet in the windscreen, or the mortician's story. Interesting stuff.
This article isn't about Oswald who every knows was involved. It's about additional ballistics evidence that was never discovered. Read the article, it might help.
But, it could happen..................
Which somehow disappeared. There is NO way his skull and autopsy information just disappeared. I've never had much interest in this before this came out. Makes perfect sense. Secret Service just can NOT tolerate it coming out that THEIR agent accidentally shot the man he was guarding. No government ever would admit such a thing.
That guy is actually telling the truth, though almost no one will listen.
Don’t be so snarky. The whole thing is just another part of the conspiracy bs.
Very interesting. I watched it last night too. The bullet hole in the windshield. The windshield that went back to the plant that made it. Where it was destroyed and replaced with a new one. P
With no hole. Witnesses who claimed they SAW the bullet hole. An on the scene report where it was stated there was a bullet hole. Coming through the windshield from the front.
Maybe Epstein is not even dead, maybe it was a cover-up to stop the thugs from ending his life prematurely and the trial is simply waiting till all the pieces are in place
AND THEN WHAMMO!
A guy can dream can’t he?!?!
I stopped reading at that point. The above statement is false and only made by people who have not analyzed the body positions and seat arrangements of the car.
Bugliosi covers this quite well in his book
As long as it ain’t 0............
It has. See pages 925-929 of Bugliosi's book.
Bugliosi complements Donahue for his depth of research and knowledge, but there are holes in the story that he covers quite well.
The much easier shot was when the limo was on Houston St.
We visited the School Book Depository museum when it first opened. At that time, they allowed visitors to stand at the correct window. The window that is now open and is posted online isn’t the correct one so messes with the angle. In our opinion, with the downward and curving left on Elm is too hard a shot from the correct window.
The question I want answered is Officer Tippet’s wacky movements. His house was at the end of our street and Oswald’s was around the corner of our doctor’s office so I knew the neighborhood. Why was he not within his partol area? Why did he suddenly rush into the record store to make a call? Why did he head pretty much straight to where Oswald was walking? He knew of Oswald as they ate at the same cafe but just how well did they know each other?
There was a show on the History Channel that claims Oswald was headed to an Iraqi safe house when he ran into Tippet. That seems plausible.
You shouldn't have stopped there. The man goes on to say the very same thing you said a little bit further after that.
No sale here. Either Oswald made the head shot or someone from the front shot him. No need to invent yet another absurd theory that someone else shot him from behind.
It is a rather long read (so says they guy that actually read Bugliosi's book), so I may go back and finish it.
Believe me for over 40 years I was 100% convinced that Oswald was a patsy, so to revisit this would take some pretty damn good evidence.
“Why could there not have been two assassins, independent of each other from two separate orgs that wanted to kill JFK?”
There was more than two. But you’re right about the MOB. the main player there was Sam Giancana from the Chicago MOB who replaced Frank Tenneli, when he retired, who replaced Capone when he died. John and Bobby lied to Giancana and made trouble for him so he had the two erased. Other players were Castro, L Johnson, and Hoover....that we know of. There were probably more but they weren’t identified even though I’m sure they were known.

Wide open and too many witnesses. Oswald acted alone.
Why is it a stretch?
