I have yet to see anyone offer a sensible, persuasive counter-response to this evidence.
'The KG9 Kid' and I just had an sensible exchange on these points just last week, on that other thread. -- I thought you were there..
All of the ?multiple shooter? theories appear to be based on misrepresentations, like the claim that the force of the bullet in the head shot forced Kennedy?s head backwards, when the film evidence shows that his head went forwards at the moment of impact, and that the backward jerk of the head happened after, not at the moment of impact.
You see forwards, most others see back. I'm not convinced either way.
Or the misrepresentation than JFK and Connolly were seated at the same height in the limo, and therefore only an impossible ?magic? bullet could have shifted upwards in midair to strike both men.
I see the 'magic' in lining up the two left/right, and in lining up JFK's jacket & shirt to his neck wound. -- And, - in the whole timeline of the three shots.
Or, that just because the Warren Report was slipshod, that in and of itself proves that Oswald was not the one who killed JFK, rather than simply proving the fact that the staff was sloppy. There is certainly ground for speculation that others may have encouraged Oswald in the killing and that Jack Ruby protected other unknown people by killing Oswald, but the physical evidence clearly demonstrates that Oswald fired the shots that struck the limo and its occupants from the school book depository. His guilt in this matter is further supported by the fact that Oswald shortly afterwards killed Officer Tippett.
None of these 'facts' have ever been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, which leaves, as you say "-- certainly ground for speculation".
I did read your exchange with KG9 Kid. As evidence is presented refuting various multiple shooter theories, you seem to be grasping at thinner and thinner straws.
There is nothing “magic” about where the bullet struck Kennedy and then Connally. The two men were not sitting at the same height, and they were not sitting exactly in the same posture facing precisely forwards at all times either. If you look at the films and photographs you will see both men looking and turning slightly sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left, to wave to people in the crowd. Connally seems to me to have done more of this than Kennedy, as it appears to me he was enjoying it more and, as a local politician, perhaps might expect to recognize someone occasionally in the crowd. So Connally was facing, and turned slightly to the right when the shot that hit both men came. Why is that so hard to believe?
As to whether the shirt bunched up together with the jacket or, as you claim, should have been stuck to his body while only the jacket bunched up, keep in mind it is MORE likely to bunch up with the jacket (as opposed to be stuck to his body by the sweat) in the case of someone wearing a corset which would separate the shirt from his sweaty skin, and allow the shirt to bunch up more easily.
The honest conspriracists, of which there are few, at least have the good sense and reason to understand that just because a Lone Gunman person throws up his hands in exasperation from arguing the point that it's not an abandonment of their position. We just get tired of arguing with kooks over the Internet.
I would like to leave those still reading this thread with one gift: There's a simulation of the JFK Assassination that's been available for a few years that caused great controversy and considerable consternation amongst the surviving Kennedy family. Some may consider it quite a ghoulish insult, but to those JFK assassination buffs who want all the evidence available to them through simulation and modeling should definitely check it out.
It's a compelling simulation called 'JFK Reloaded'. It was released a few years ago by a Scottish developer of simulation games. It is a masterwork simulation that accounts for all model-able aspects of the JFK murder as it relates to Oswald's involvement in the assassination. It doesn't require a modern high powered PC to run. You may download 'JFK Reloaded 1.01' directly from this link (12.8 Mb download, MS Windows installable .EXE file). Warnings should be given here in that this simulation is not for children and may be upsetting to many.
The intention of this simulation was admittedly designed to disprove any conspiracy theory that involves the claim that Lee Harvey Oswald could not have made the shots in the assassination of JFK from the infamous sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. The 3D engine created for this simulation is one of the finest proprietary engines suited for bullet and motion ballistics, wounding simulation in the area of terminal ballistics, and chaos simulacrum.
Those who maintain this notion should at least give this simulation a chance.
