Mark Simone today on WABC in NY described something that I've never heard before: That the bone and brain matter being thrust forward from a rear, high powered shot is repeatable in the lab and is called "jetting". This makes sense given the energy introduced to the enclosed skull.

He also pointed out that the distance fron the window to the cars position on the street is no great distance. TV makes it look bigger than it is. The shot has ben BETTERED by amatures.

Also, Oswald's view in the telescopic sight filled his whole field of vision. I am surprised he missed with the first shot although it was probably deflected by a branch.

The History Channel needs to have R. Lee Ermey put a good shooter in a tower and take a shot at a watermelon moving below at 15mph to prove to a lot of people that it is a good shot but not an incredible shot. I'm pretty sure I could duplicate the first shot  - getting two on target that quickly is probably a little better than I could do - but then again I haven't practiced trying to assassinate anyone as a life goal. 
 
Regarding brains going backwards. The apple photo shown earlier demonstrates the physics of bullets hitting soft targets perfectly. People who think bullets always make small holes going in and big holes going out are right if your talking about steel or wood, but people are soft. Even Democrats don't have steel heads.
