He used a single magic bullet.

No, actually, he didn't. There were three verified shots fired. One that missed, one that hit the president in the back and exited through his throat, and one that hit the president in the head.

The only thing I am trying to do with this thread is demonstrate the truth about the fatal head shot clearly for those whose minds are open to the truth. I do not argue for or against any conspiracy theory — only that those who believe a conspiracy existed should at least not twist the truth about the fatal head shot. It came from the rear and took out pretty much all of the upper right side of the president's head.

A well-meant conspiracy theory will try to make the theory fit the facts, not the other way around.

Well said. One can still ponder a conspiracy (either on the front end or back end, or both) and still recognize the fact that clearly JFK was shot from behind.

Did you by chance see Unsolved History on the Discovery Channel this past week? The show attempted to prove or disprove the Warren Commission and the various conspiracies about Oswald's actions that day. They dealt with his getting the three shots off within X amount of seconds, whether he had enough time to stash the weapon and make it down to the 2nd floor lunch room, where he was confronted by an armed police officer, and the time frame involved with the route he took that led him to the confrontation with Officer Tippet. If you've never watched this series, I highly recommend it. They've recreated some pretty interesting incidents out of history, and have come up with some damn good findings. By the way, their recreations on Oswald's firing the weapon and his movements afterwards all aligned with what had been reported in the Warren Commission Report.

The single "magic" bullet theory is key to the controversy, not the direction of the head shot, which may never be proven.


You insist there were three "verified" shots fired. One that missed, one that hit the president in the back and exited through his throat, and one that hit the president in the head.



Thus you contradict yourself claiming the "only thing I am trying to do with this thread is demonstrate the truth about the fatal head shot clearly for those whose minds are open to the truth."

You are arguing for the Reports theory & against any conspiracy theory.

— That the fatal head shot came from the rear and took out pretty much all of the upper right side of the president's head is not really an issue, as another shooter from the rear is entirely possible.

The timing of the previous shots, the wounds they made, when compared to the Z film, make it almost impossible for Osawald to have to have been the lone assassin.

Certainly, "a well-meant conspiracy theory will try to make the theory fit the facts, not the other way around." -- And this is exactly what the Commission did back in '64 with their single bullet bull.

--They made themselves into the whackos, and most of us never believed their lone gunman fantasy.
